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.

Innate Worth: Understanding And Befriending Who You Are (Alicia Decker)
In this conversation, Corban David Jenai speaks with Alicia Decker, the CEO of Mended Light, about trauma healing and finding healing from past experiences. Alicia shares her personal journey of healing and emphasizes the importance of making friends with the rejected parts of ourselves.
They discuss the power of being witnessed and seen by others, as well as the impact of childhood experiences on our sense of worth. Alicia also highlights the value of understanding our personality types and how they influence our relationships and self-perception.
The healing journey involves confronting rejected parts of ourselves and unraveling coping mechanisms that no longer serve us. Healing trauma requires creating safety in the nervous system and expanding its capacity.
She lays out for us seven principles of healing from trauma. These are recognizing innate worth, communicating with the higher self, embracing the power of choice, rebuilding trust, cultivating compassion, practicing mindfulness, and living one's dream. Mended Light offers resources, programs, and support to guide individuals through the healing process.
Alicia Decker is the CEO of Mended Light, a trauma healing organization. She is an accomplished entrepreneur and business strategist and has developed a healing program with her team that helps people get to the root of their trauma and find healing in the process.
