Hey friend— You’re counting down the days until school starts. You want the structure back. You miss quiet mornings and having a minute to think. So why does your brain feel like mashed potatoes?
This episode is for the mom who’s emotionally shutting down before the reset even begins.
We talk about: – Why your body is crashing before school even starts – The real reason you're not motivated (spoiler: it's not laziness) – What emotional whiplash looks like, and why it’s so common this time of year – How to move through this weird fog without forcing productivity or guilt-planning your comeback
If you're sitting in the car scrolling instead of checking off the to-do list... you're not broken. You're just finally landing.

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.
