We talk a lot about healing, but not enough about the brutal truth of letting go. In this episode, I dive deep into why it’s so damn hard to release the people, memories, and identities that have hurt us and why clinging to them only keeps us trapped.
This isn’t a soft, sugar-coated conversation. I’m pulling apart the myths around forgiveness, family, loyalty, and pain. Because here’s the truth: letting go isn’t weakness. It’s survival. It’s rebellion. And it’s freedom.
If you’ve ever felt guilty for walking away, if you’ve ever struggled with cutting off toxic people, or if you’ve ever wondered why your past still has so much control over you this episode is for you.
What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Why not everyone deserves forgiveness (and that’s okay)
The hard truth about toxic family ties and loyalty myths

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.
