Have you ever given up on a dream — grieved it so long it felt gone for good?
What if it wasn’t?
In this episode of This Unfolding Life, I share the surprising moment, halfway around the world in Malaysia, that planted the seed for my song New Tree Growin’ from the Old, Dead Root. It’s a story about new beginnings, honoring what’s been lost, and trusting that new life can grow in unexpected places.
You’ll hear the song’s backstory, early voice memos, and a reflection practice to help you notice new possibilities in your own life.
Let’s keep watching for the new trees growing from our old, dead roots.

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.
