Healing Through Words: Sonia Mehta on Children’s Stories, Emotional Intelligence & Finding Your Voice

In this episode of The AboutHer Show, I’m in conversation with children’s author Sonia Mehta, who has spent over two decades shaping young minds through storytelling.

At the heart of her work lies the idea of healing through words, using stories to help children understand and process their emotions and feel less alone. Through books like On Air with RJ Rini, she gently creates spaces where children can find their voice and visibility, learning to express themselves in a world that often speaks for them.

We explore how storytelling can build emotional intelligence, nurture confidence, and remind children that their thoughts and feelings truly matter.

Because sometimes, the right story doesn’t just entertain, it helps a child feel seen, heard, and understood.
