What does it mean to be part of the “sandwich generation”? Traditionally, it’s adults caring for both their kids and their aging parents — but even without children, the push-and-pull of being caught in the middle is very real.
In this episode, we unpack the pressures of balancing caregiving with careers, relationships, friendships, and our own needs. From being the bridge between family members, to feeling stretched in multiple directions at once, we’re sharing the moments that made us feel “sandwiched” and how we try (and sometimes fail) to navigate them.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re carrying everyone else’s needs while trying to hold onto your own, this one’s for you.

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.
