This one is straight from my heart. I’ve had a complicated, even fraught, relationship with hope. At one point in 2018, I remember sitting in my car and realizing I had none—I literally cried when someone asked me if I did. Fast forward to now: I’m 53, newly married, happier than ever, and I know that some of my best days are still ahead.
In this solo episode, I share my story of moving through darkness, divorce, and doubt into a life filled with love, light, and new beginnings. I talk about the shift I made in redefining hope—not as desperate wishing, but as a spark of light that can grow brighter and brighter if we nurture it.
You’ll hear about the turning points that helped me reclaim hope, how I’ve learned to release expectations, and the practical ways I cultivate it daily. I’m also sharing some honest confessions (like my brief vaping stint before the wedding 😅) because I never want to preach what I don’t practice.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, too old, too far gone, or like the best days have passed—you need this reminder. Hope is not about perfection. Hope is about possibility. And some of your best days are yet to come.
And most of all, remember: you absolutely can redefine hope for yourself at any age.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
