Play in iTunes > Play in Spotify>

In this episode of finding grace I’m joined by Sara Surani who is the Author of “Songs for my grandmother” a book of poetry and prose Sara intertwines the universal songs of her ancestors, voices of women she has encountered worldwide, and her own reflections. She is the co founder of “She is the universe project” and “Nayarag stories”.

I’m looking forward to having this conversation with Sara today and sharing her voice and wisdom in this episode.

In this episode, you'll explore:

What finding grace means to Sara and the journey that brought her here.
Her personal story and the experiences that inspired her book.
How her background influenced the creation of the book.
The book’s unique, non-linear structure—allowing readers to pick it up and engage with different sections.
How she honoured her own process, writing intuitively rather than forcing it.
A few of her favourite passages, which she reads aloud.
Her cultural roots and how they shaped both her perspective and the stories in her book.
The various initiatives she’s involved with, including “Nararaq Stories” and “She Is the Universe,” and their missions.
The power of storytelling in healing and building community.
What’s currently supporting her on her journey.
What’s bringing her joy right now.

Sara shares all this and more in this episode.

Do reach out to me to continue this conversation.
