What does it take to start over when life as you know it falls apart? In this episode of Too Much, Denise Hewett talks with Kat Gordon, Founder of The 3% Movement, Executive Coach, and Reiki master, about the nonlinear journey of resilience, healing, and reinvention.

How to rebuild your life after major change or loss
Why intuition is the ultimate GPS for leadership and creativity
Tools for resilience: grief counseling, Reiki, community, movement, and meditation
The difference between forcing outcomes vs. co-creating with possibility
Why creative reinvention is one of the most powerful acts of healing

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.
