🎙️ FS 78 – Relaunch Episode: Meet the New Hosts; Umah, Sam, Olivia

In today's episode, the Facilitation Stories podcast returns with a brand-new hosting team — Olivia, Sam, and Umah — who share their stories, inspirations, and hopes for the next chapter of the podcast.

They talk about:

• Why they joined the Facilitation Stories team and what excites them about podcasting as a way to connect facilitators and share learning.
  
  

• How their diverse backgrounds — from healthcare and construction to creative arts, community engagement and youth work — have shaped their facilitation practice.
  
  

• The power of collaboration and curiosity in creating spaces for reflection, learning, and human connection and what underpins their hopes for this podcast series
  
  

• And, of course, an important conversation about pets, TV guilty pleasures, and favourite biscuits! 🍪
  
  

"It's about creating space where people can make sense of their own stories — and find belonging in shared spaces."

"Sometimes, facilitation is about slowing down, thinking, and making time for the conversations we don't usually have."
