All Episodes

September 11, 2025 • 17 mins

Women face financial headwinds whether we like it or not: the persistent gender wage gap and a longer life expectancy than men mean we don't make enough cash flow to build all the wealth we're going to need to support ourselves to the end of our lives.

One strategy to consider...PASSIVE INCOME (my new passion!). This episode helps you unlock some passive income strategies to build your financial wellness.

In this podcast I defined passive income, provide actionable examples, and I shares my personal experience with building passive income--one example being my newly launched Etsy shop: BestFinancialLife for affordable digital products to help you live your best financial life.

This episode is designed to inspire and educate listeners on how to incorporate passive income streams into their financial wellness strategy. I reinforce the importance of passive income for financial autonomy, particularly for women facing economic disparities.

I also offer practical steps for getting started and encourage listeners to adopt a mindset that recognizes and takes advantage of the many passive income opportunities out there.

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.
