Sandhya Oaks is a Ministry Leader, Spiritual Director, leads Kintsugi workshops, and does Story Work. Born in India and adopted as a Transracial Adoptee in the Midwest, Sandhya now walks with others through identity reclamation and creating experiences that restore shalom within the human heart. She holds two Certificates in Narrative Focused Trauma Care from The Allender Center, a Certificate in Resilient Leadership from the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology, and recently completed her Trauma Care Group Training Certificate through The Art of Living Counseling Center.

In this episode, I talk with Sandhya about the power and freedom that can come from finding healing in our own stories, how she stays grounded in God’s goodness and beauty amidst life’s brokenness, and how she’s come to see beauty in unexpected places.
