Today I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Zucker — clinical psychologist, author of "Normalize It" and "I Had a Miscarriage", and a powerful voice in the movement to help women speak openly about what’s often left unsaid. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, Vogue, and Harvard Business Review, among others. She’s been featured on NPR, CNN, The Today Show, and Good Morning America and earned advanced degrees from New York University and Harvard University.
In today’s episode, we talk about...
- Why it’s essential for women to start speaking their truths — even when it feels uncomfortable
- How to share hard things without being labeled as negative or too much
- The power of normalizing struggle instead of staying silent about it
- How to truly support someone when they’re opening up about something difficult
- Why we need to talk more openly about the identity shift and emotional impact of becoming a mother
- What it takes for women to drop their armor and step into real vulnerability
- How to stop taking it personally when others can’t hold space for your pain
- The unspoken pressure on women to show up perfectly
...and so much more.

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.
