When life is lifing—when everything feels like it’s coming at you at once, knocking you down, and testing every ounce of your strength—it’s easy to feel stuck, overwhelmed, and exhausted. But here’s the truth: while pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
In this episode, I’m sharing how I’ve navigated one of the hardest weeks of my life while still finding flow, resilience, and a way forward. We’ll talk about:
🔥 Why suffering often comes from our resistance to what is
🔥 The power of pendulation—how to move through emotions instead of getting stuck in them
🔥 Practical ways to support your nervous system when you feel like you're drowning
🔥 How to borrow energy, beliefs, and perspectives to shift your state
🔥 The difference between numbing out and truly resourcing yourself
If you’re in a season where everything feels heavy, I see you. You are not alone. Let’s talk about how to not just survive these moments but actually thrive through them.

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.
