What do you do when the life you've built no longer feels like your own?
In this deeply honest episode of All In My Head, former morning news anchor Derrion Henderson shares the emotional and spiritual journey behind his decision to walk away from a rising career in broadcast journalism. From the outside, it looked like success—but on the inside, something wasn’t right.
Derrion opens up about the pressures of the media industry, the toll it took on him and the quiet voice that kept urging him to make a change. We talk about identity, sustainability, public perception, and the radical courage it takes to rewrite your story—even when everyone’s watching.
Whether you’re considering a major life pivot, battling imposter syndrome, or simply craving more alignment in your everyday life, this episode will meet you where you are. Because sometimes, choosing change is the most grounded move we can make.
🎧 In this episode, we discuss:
- Life behind the scenes of a broadcast news career
- What happens when success doesn’t feel fulfilling
- Boundary setting and sustainability
- Redefining purpose and choosing peace over perception
- What it really means to be anchored no more
This is for anyone who’s ever outgrown a dream, and dared to chase something real.

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.
