In this episode, Nina discusses the "pendulum" of growth. When we hold onto one extreme belief system, and that system comes crashing down, we often swing to the far opposite end to regain a sense of safety. 

In Nina's case, it was grasping onto mainstream holistic health to compensate for the disappointment of conventional medicine. 

Perhaps safety is not best found within extreme beliefs, but in our acceptance of the complexity and uncertainty of life.
