Ever felt the urge to change something big at the last minute—but talked yourself out of it?

In this episode, I share a real-time story about rewriting my keynote just before stepping on stage—and how trusting myself (even when it felt risky) created a deeper impact for the audience and for me.

When you're standing on the edge of a gutsy move, your brain will try to logic you into staying “safe.” But your body? Your inner voice? They know.

You don’t need every answer or perfect timing to trust yourself. You just need enough of a signal to follow.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to know the difference between fear and misalignment

  • Why trusting yourself is more important than the “perfect” plan

  • The energetic shift that happens when you go with your gut

  • How last-minute pivots can unlock your next level of power

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
