Over The Immigrant Story Podcast

How does one make the decision to pack up their lives and move to a new country considering the challenges that newcomers face with integrating into their new found home. Despite these challenges, a large number of people continue to make this move for whatever motivation they might have. In this podcast, we interact with people from all walks of life who have uprooted their lives from one part of the world to another, we explore the challenges they have faced, the drive that keeps them going and seek an opportunity to learn from the wisdom they have acquired along the way. This podcast promises simple frank conversations and some times deep probing exchanges suitable for listeners of diverse worldviews. Buckle your seat belt and let's dive in.

Episode 13 - Stanley Opara with Gayathri Shukla

For the first time, I share my story. I sat down with Gayathri Shukla, host of the Heart2Heart podcast, at the CJSW 90.9 studio in Calgary for an open and reflective conversation about life, talking about where we’ve come from, where we are now, and where we might be headed. We explore our upbringings, the journeys that took us across continents, the work that gives our lives meaning, and the values that continue to shape our choices. The conversation moves naturally between the personal and the global, including a thoughtful look at what the rise of AI may mean for humanity. Along the way, we pause to appreciate the quiet perspective offered by the Rocky Mountains, the landscape we’re both fortunate to call home, reminding ourselves of scale, beauty, and possibility. This was a deeply enjoyable and grounding exchange. I hope you find as much value and connection in listening as I did in sharing it.

Episode 12 - Meenakshi Lamba

Meenakshi “Meena” Lamba has helped hundreds of newcomers build new lives in Calgary through her work at Immigrant Services Calgary. Deeply fulfilled by this work, she finds joy in watching newcomers discover their strengths, find their footing, and secure opportunities that allow them to support their families. Meena’s commitment is deeply personal. An immigrant herself, she moved from India to Canada years ago with curiosity, resilience, and an open mind. In this conversation, she reflects on her own journey navigating multiple moves across Canada, finding community in different places, and ultimately arriving in Calgary, where she now supports others on their settlement journeys. This episode is a thoughtful exploration of belonging, service, and the quiet impact of helping people find their place in a new home.
