“I’m fifty-five.  If I can’t be authentic now, when is that going to happen?  I don’t want to go to my grave being inauthentic.”  ~ Dina Lantzer

 

“Temporary, extreme fear while speaking the truth is easier to overcome than perpetual fear of the unspoken truth.”  ~ Matt Lantzer

 

Against all odds, Matt and Dina Lantzer had a marriage that worked.  They married young, when Dina was 21 and Matt was 18, but they stuck with each other through thick and thin, raised 3 kids and have 4 grandkids.  

After 35 years together, they discovered a painful truth: they had both developed a long standing habit of hiding things from each other, both big and small.  In this discovery, they came to realize that their fear of transparency with each other was simultaneously limiting their marriage's potential and smothering their individual joy.  

Join me for this nitty gritty conversation on the power of speaking our truth within our most intimate relationships.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
