Gayathri Shukla & Anshu Stephen are making the world a better place by practicing and teaching empathy. In this special conversation, we get to learn about Empathy Week - a unique Calgary-wide (and online!) event that cannot be missed, how Gayathri and Anshu came to be part of it, and the most challenging and rewarding parts of empathy work.

As a certified trauma-informed coach, Anshu helps individuals better understand their own stories to become whole, empowered, connected, and healthy. Gayathri has guided thousands of leaders in the use of storytelling, empowering individuals to discover their strengths while building empathy across differences. Together they make up half of the powerful quartet behind unLikely Friends, a video storytelling initiative that helps diverse strangers to connect through genuine conversations.

Can you tell that this is way too much goodness to pack into one episode? It definitely is! Let this be a warm introduction to two amazingly inspiring women, with just a teaser of the great work they do, and a promise that we’ll do our best to have them back for more. Luckily, there are many ways to engage with them in the meantime:
