Episode 22: Looking at Earth from Above: a Conversation with Astronaut Dr Soyeon Yi

Most of us have, at some point, looked up at the night sky with curiosity and perhaps even dreamed of becoming an astronaut. Space has long inspired questions about possibility, exploration, and our place in the universe. Today’s episode we gain a perspective from someone who has actually lived that experience, Dr. Soyeon Yi. In today's conversation we’ll discuss her path into aerospace, her experiences aboard the International Space Station, and how viewing Earth from space has shaped her perspective on science, leadership, and global responsibility.

Some of the tangible outcomes of the discussion include:

- Don’t limit anyone. Every person has different roles and responsibilities; what matters most is how we use those differences and translate them into collective benefit.
- Much of our life is shaped by destiny, so practicing gratitude, having fun, and finding joy throughout the journey is essential.
- Regardless of culture or ethnicity, always make an effort to understand one another’s perspectives and find ways to collaborate and work together.
- Don’t let being a woman or an underrepresented individual define or limit you, sometimes that mindset can hinder progress. At the same time, never forget who you are as an individual.
- Remember why you started: because it was difficult, because it was limited, and because you chose to take it on. Believe that you are not alone, others are navigating similar challenges too.
