Stargazing Without Screens (Episode 360)
Wonder doesn’t just inspire us. It calibrates us. We open up about a phone-free night that paired live music with an immersive trip through the cosmos and somehow made the ground under our feet feel steadier. The experience rekindled a childhood dream of space, reminded us how small we are, and gave us a bigger reason to keep going: serving others at scale, one honest story at a time.
We talk about the early spark—wanting to be an astronaut—and the practical hurdles that pulled that dream to the background. Then we step into a planetarium-style experience that challenged old anxieties and delivered a quiet victory: no panic, no vertigo, just presence. That pause from screens mattered. When the phone stayed in the pocket, attention came back online, the music regulated our nervous system, and the stars did what stars do—widen the frame. From Earth to Moon to Sun to galaxies, the sheer scale turned status into noise and service into signal.
Across the conversation, we connect awe to mental health and purpose. The science and the story agree: moments of vastness can reduce rumination, increase humility, and make room for courage. That’s the fuel behind our audacious mission to help three billion people. It’s not about plaques or street signs. It’s about impact that outlives us. We invite you to try your own presence practices—stargazing, a planetarium visit, a phone-free concert—and tell us what you notice when you look up instead of scroll down. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs a lift, and leave a review to help more people find the show. Your voice expands the constellation.
