How We Heal with Ryan Pink
We’re holding space for authentic conversations about healing from the hard things in our past and building resilience for our future. We discuss everything from ancient healing practices, culture, and spirituality, to personal stories of healing, and the newest technological applications and wellness practices. We’re all on a path to healing. And we all want to feel better and be more resilient to pain and trauma. We want to feel free, connected, and whole. Our fundamental belief is that our path to healing is momentously enhanced through shared wisdom, intentional presence (witnessing), sharing stories, and the support of others. In our “Stories of Healing” segment, guests share their personal healing journies. We find the common humanity buried like diamonds within these deeply human stories. They demonstrate how we can all serve as guides for each other, providing both practical insights and inspiration for our community. To help expand our understanding, Ryan speaks with friends of the community and today’s top healing guides about the philosophies and practices of influencers such as Gabor Maté, Thomas Hübl, Lisa Feldman Barrett, Bessel van der Kolk, Richard Schwartz, Peter Levine, and more. Join HopeGuide community founder Ryan Pink as he invites expert practitioners, changemakers, and everyday people to share their stories and wisdom to inspire a trauma-resilient society, where everyone has the support they need to heal.

Valuing Oneself Enough to Set Boundaries (Susan Baier)
In this conversation, Susan Baier shares a formative moment in her adult life when she consulted with her father, who was a world renowned plastic surgeon, about liposuction. 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.
Over time, she has learned to recognize and challenge those voices, and to value her own perspective and the opinions of those who truly know and support her. 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.
