    Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Sara Hirsh Bordo, award-winning filmmaker and author, to talk about how her autoimmune diagnoses are seemingly linked to her personal traumas and upbringing as a girlhood caretaker. Being a “good girl” all her life prevented Sara from putting herself first and seeking help at the detriment of her health, and she only recognized this at age 42 through an emotional autopsy in a life-changing trip. Her bigger discovery later on is finding out that she is far from alone. Her eye-opening survey (that is free to download!) explores the intersection of empowerment (or lack thereof) and autoimmunity in American women.

You don't need to get sick as permission to prioritize yourself, and being a “good girl” does not necessarily make you a “true girl.” Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology.

With 40 years worth of experience, Dr. Major provided insight on how focusing on eye and brain health made dramatic changes to literacy and recidivism in corrections, par-ticularly through the most controlled study in the nation for 13- to 19-year old youths.

    Reclaiming the Sacred: Happiness From Within with Jeff Golden (Episode #103)

    Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with Jeff Golden, author, educator and activist, to talk about helping people reclaim the depth and beauty of themselves and the world to live more joyful and rich lives, rooted in the ideas explored in his book, Reclaiming the Sacred. Money can buy some happiness but what if you're not happy within yourself? Jeff encourages all of us to embrace self-love, connection and community, open our eyes to miracles, nourish our well-being, and move away from shame, limiting self-beliefs and our trained sense of “lack” and materialism. Is the glass half-empty or half-full? Maybe it is even 98% full, but in our culture we were trained to just see the orientation leaning toward the edge that makes us look for the things we still don't have. Reclaiming the Sacred draws on the work of thousands of scientists, spiritual leaders, poets, and activists to explore what we know about what most nourishes human well-being—and what does not, most notably money and possessions. It examines the dire consequences of the vast materialism throughout the world today—the ways it impoverishes us individually and sows violence and destruction globally. The book then goes beyond all of that, taking readers on a journey, both mystical and scientific, of reclaiming the sacredness of ourselves and this gorgeous world.
