Welcome to the Beautifully Broken Podcast! In this solo episode, I open my heart and speak candidly about why I keep showing up to produce this show—and how it has become the greatest teacher in my life. I explore the eternal thread of human suffering that ties us to past civilizations, the modern epidemic of loneliness and chronic illness, and the quiet power of storytelling in igniting hope.
From the fall of Rome to the rise of suicide in the age of supercomputers, this reflection journeys through history, psychology, and the challenges of being human in 2025. I dive into what it means to live with intention, to own your healing, and why investing in personal growth is the best ROI you’ll ever find. If you're feeling disconnected or overwhelmed, let this be your call to anchor in purpose and choose to rewrite your story.

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.
