203: Sky Cowans on Growing From Judgment to Curiosity

Author: Aileen Xu October 9, 2022 Duration: 1:02:33
We live in a world where judgment is a default setting. But if we were to collectively shift into curiosity instead, the world would be a better place! Everyone is unique, so why not open our hearts, celebrate those differences, and connect authentically with ourselves and others? Sky Cowans humbly leads the way to become “weirder and weirder” every day and invites us to do the same.

Sky Cowans is a video creator who explores the world of wellness, spirituality, and alternative lifestyle on her YouTube channel Sky Life through documentary-style videos. With more than 600,000 followers combined across her platforms, Sky's mission is to inspire the shift from judgment to curiosity.
