You’ve been telling yourself, “I just need to let go. I need to stop holding it all.” But every time you even think about letting go? Full-body panic. Your brain spirals. Your chest tightens. You convince yourself that if you loosen your grip for one second, it’ll all come crashing down.
But what if letting go isn’t dangerous? What if it’s actually your path home—not to chaos, but to freedom?
Inside this episode, we’re breaking down:
Why letting go feels absolutely terrifying (it’s not because you’re dramatic)
Why you’ve tied your worth to control—and how it’s wrecking your nervous system
The real reason you fear losing more than just your to-do list—you fear losing yourself
How to pause the panic without burning your whole life down
Plus—I’m sharing one of my favorite metaphors about the “House of Cards” you’ve been living in… it’s gonna hit deep.
And because I know you’ve been craving it, I’m also telling you about my February retreat and why it was built for exactly this moment. (And yes, you can still join the VIP interest list!)

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.
