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.

Navigating the Challenges of a Business Breakup (Brian Dixon)
Brian Dixon shares his story of a business breakup and the challenges that came with it. When his team's online business grew rapidly during Covid, the cracks in the foundation became apparent. Hoping to sell the company, the deal fell through, leading to disappointment and uncertainty for everyone.
He shares how he decided to make an offer and take over the company himself, and the challenges that came up after that, including the departure of many of his team and staff.
Despite these setbacks, Brian remained determined to keep the business afloat and provide for his family. He relied on his faith and made tough decisions, such as inviting a controversial speaker to a conference, which led to both support and criticism.
Through it all, Brian learned the importance of clarifying his target audience and staying true to his vision. He discusses the challenges he faced in his business and how he had to shift his focus to serving his true audience.
