Episode 3: When Loving Them Means Losing Yourself
Have you ever looked in the mirror and realized you don’t even recognize yourself anymore? In the name of love, you silenced your needs, ignored your dreams, and shrank yourself just to hold onto someone else. This episode of Love, Lies and Life Lessons dives deep into the painful reality of self-abandonment—and the powerful journey of reclaiming who you are.
We’ll explore:
-
The subtle ways we lose ourselves in relationships.
-
The emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual cost of self-abandonment.
-
How to rebuild your identity, restore your self-trust, and create love that doesn’t require erasing yourself.
Through raw storytelling, reflection exercises, and powerful metaphors, this episode will remind you that the version of you who once felt alive, confident, and whole is not gone—they’re waiting for you to come back.
Because true love doesn’t ask you to disappear. True love celebrates your wholeness.
Love teaches. Lies test. But life always transforms.

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.
