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.

From Chaos to Creativity to Healing (Amy J. Dyck)
Corban David Jenai speaks with Amy J. Dyck about her lifelong struggle with chronic illness and her journey to healing. She starts her story at 2017 when she got very sick (again) and the devastating impact it had on her life. She discusses the physical limitations, the lack of understanding from doctors, and the emotional toll it took on her and her family.
Amy also shares how she used art as a therapeutic tool to explore self-compassion and love, how her artwork transformed from realism to a deeper symbolic exploration. The power of art as a healing modality is discussed, and the accessible and affordable nature of it.
Going deeper, Amy talks about how art helped her explore her experiences with illness and trauma, and find growth and a deeper understanding of herself even in the midst of the hard thing that had happened. They discuss the importance of trusting one's instincts and intuition in healing and in the creative process, and how art can help reconnect with the body and emotions. Amy also provides practical suggestions for getting started with art as a healing practice.
Amy J. Dyck is a visual artist who paints, sculpts, collages and more in order to delve into her phycological landscape, tackling issues like power, resilience, and struggle through her art practice and in exhibitions. Among her accomplishments are winning several prestigious international art awards. She also writes, and is working on her first book on her journey of healing with art.
