Why people keep bringing this up
Mary Oliver's line was invoked twice in a single appearance on The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett, when guest Dr. Martha Beck quoted the passage verbatim: "no matter who you are no matter how lonely the world offers itself to your imagination and you are part of the family of things." The duplication within one episode is the direct reason the title registers multiple mentions in the dataset despite coming from a single podcast appearance.
The quoted wording functions as a compact, repeatable affirmation that Dr. Beck used while discussing the themes signaled by the episode title (surviving crisis, anxiety, and repair). Because the phrase is terse, memorable and was spoken more than once during the interview, it stood out to the episode transcribers/listeners and was cited verbatim. That concrete repetition in a high-attention interview setting explains why Wild Geese appears in the mentions tally for this podcast.
