How We Heal with Ryan Pink

In this discussion he suggested she get other work done instead to improve her appearance. This experience emphasized her deep-seated insecurities about her appearance and her father's lack of belief in her being good enough. It fed into to a life-long struggle with self-worth and a realization that she needed to question the voices in her head that were not her own.

In this conversation, Susan Baier shares her journey of healing from childhood wounds and finding self-acceptance. She discusses the importance of setting boundaries, valuing oneself, and accepting others as they are. 

Susan emphasizes the power of having a witness and the impact of personal connections in overcoming differences. She also highlights the need to be mindful of the media and social media's influence on our thoughts and emotions. Overall, Susan's story reminds us of the importance of boundaries, empathy, and understanding in our healing journeys.

In this episode of How We Heal, Corban has a fascinating conversation with Author and Space Philosopher Frank White. They discuss what the Overview Effect is, the difference between perception and behavior, what it is to grasp the essential truth, and how negative events when looked at from an overview perspective all seemingly fit into a pattern.

Frank White’s theory of the Overview Effect has helped provide astronauts with concepts and language to articulate the profound shift in worldview they experience when viewing the Earth from space and in space. Now, much of the world has adopted this framework in describing our innate interconnectedness. His book, The Overview Effect: Space Exploration and Human Evolution, is considered by many to be a seminal work in the field of space exploration, making him one of the most influential space philosophers of our time.

White is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College, a member of Phi Beta Kappa, and a Rhodes Scholar. He earned his M.Phil. in Politics from Oxford University.

He has authored or co-authored 14 books on topics ranging from space exploration to climate change. Planetary Collective’s film, “Overview,” based largely on his work, has had nearly 8 million plays on Vimeo. Frank is co-founder and president of the Human Space Program, a central project to develop a citizen-authored blueprint for conscious space migration and stewardship of the solar ecosystem.
