In this episode, I sit down with Somia Sadiq, the Founder and Principal Partner of Narratives, Inc., a consultant firm emphasizing human-centric, trauma-informed story work and celebrating ancestral identity. 

Somia shares her journey of navigating Canadian society as a newcomer and her transition from environmental sciences to conflict transformation. We delve into the necessity of intentional and proactive support for employees, and how storytelling can foster deeper connections and understanding within organizations. 

We also discusses the power of trauma-informed leadership and transforming conflict as a tool for resilience and growth. This is a must-listen for business owners and entrepreneurs looking to create inclusive and empowered work environments through compassionate leadership and the universal language of storytelling.
