Are you exhausted from putting everyone's needs before your own? This episode could save you from the breakdown that forced our guest to completely rebuild her life.
Leann Herron spent decades saying "yes" to everyone else—until her body said "no more." After 20 years in accounting and 13 years in legal work, unhealed trauma triggered a complete breakdown that left her with brain fog, memory loss, and panic attacks so severe she couldn't function at work.
Now a Certified Life & Holistic Health Coach specializing in Gen X women, Leann reveals the dangerous cycle of over-giving that's silently destroying women in their 50s—and the specific strategies that can break you free before you hit rock bottom.
What You'll Discover:
- The Warning Signs You're Ignoring - Why brain fog and memory loss aren't just "getting older"—they're your body's alarm system
- The Gen X Crisis Nobody's Talking About - How empty nest syndrome combines with aging parents and identity loss to create the perfect storm
- The Over-Giving Death Spiral - The 4-stage cycle that starts with "being helpful" and ends in complete depletion and resentment
- The Guilt-Free "No" Script - Exact words to set boundaries without apologies (this one phrase changes everything)
- The 24-Hour Life Reset - Why her evening routine actually starts the next morning with more energy
- From Breakdown to "Happiness On Tap" - How choosing intentionality over autopilot creates joy you can access anytime
- The Identity Recovery Process - Practical steps for rediscovering who you are when you've lost yourself in serving others
This isn't just inspiration—it's intervention. If you're constantly exhausted, resentful, or feel like you've disappeared into your roles as wife/mom/caregiver, this conversation could be the wake-up call that changes everything.
Stop listening if: You're perfectly happy sacrificing your needs for everyone else's and never want that to change.

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.
