In the third episode of Sage Advice, ⁠Hamza Khan⁠ interviews ⁠Janany Jayanthikumar⁠—a trauma and attachment expert—for a soul-deep conversation about healing, identity, and inner leadership. Janany, a seasoned social worker and founder of the Centre for Social Work Education, opens up about her own experiences with childhood trauma and dissociation, revealing how these early wounds shaped both her personal and professional journey. Together, they explore the power of understanding attachment styles—secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized—and how these patterns influence our relationships, leadership, and sense of self. Janany shares how addressing past trauma through modalities like spirituality and internal family systems therapy can catalyze lasting transformation. In this episode, she offers the timeless wisdom she would pass on at the end of her life: 1) What happened is leading to purpose, 2) You are the creator of your world, and 3) Trust your truth. This conversation is a tender, insightful guide to honouring your lived experience and stepping into your full power. A reminder that healing isn’t just personal—it’s profoundly generational.
