"If I don't close my eyes for literally two, three, five minutes, I'm done for.”

Omar Samra had to cope with an extreme bout of seasickness. Omar Nour had to pick up extra shifts. On top of all that, a huge wave turns their boat upside down and puts them on the brink of death. How do you activate your calm response when your body is aching? And does going through stressful experiences shield us from similar ones in the future?

State of Mind is produced by Kerning Cultures Network. This episode is supported by Metavisionaries. 

State of Mind is hosted by Lobna Monieb. This episode was produced by Ban Barkawi and edited by Heba El-Sherif. Fact-checking by Deena Sabry, and sound design by Monzer El-Hachem. Special thanks to Dr. Christoph Anacker for speaking to us for this episode.

In 2016, Omar Samra called Omar Nour with a life-changing idea: “How about we row across the Atlantic Ocean?”

Within a matter of hours, the two were registered to compete in the world’s toughest race: a 3,000-mile unsupported row across the mighty Atlantic Ocean, in a seven-meter rowing boat. However, about nine days into their journey, when their boat capsized in a severe storm and the life raft didn't open, they came face-to-face with death.

Inspired by the documentary, Beyond the Raging Sea, this podcast unravels new layers of humans’ state of mind against adversity.
