What happens when you find yourself sitting on a couch with a gun in your hand, contemplating ending it all because of a toxic relationship? For multimillion-dollar real estate agent Lauren House, it was her cat Bentley and a fierce refusal to let someone else "win" that sparked one of the most raw transformation stories we've ever heard.
This episode gets real about the messiness of rebuilding yourself after surviving a narcissistic, psychopathic relationship that stripped away your identity. Lauren doesn't sugarcoat anything. From the black heart numbness that follows trauma to setting boundaries as an attractive woman in business who refuses to work with men who "just want to bang me," this conversation is for anyone who's ever lost themselves and had to claw their way back to wholeness.
🔥 In This Episode:
- Why she stayed in a toxic relationship for two and a half years and the "God moment" that broke the spell
- Her "black heart theory" and navigating emotional numbness while still showing up for life
- How healing isn't linear and you can't predict what will trigger you until you're back in the situation
- Building a multimillion-dollar real estate empire while doing deep inner work
- Expanding from Scottsdale to Miami and why romanticizing dreams doesn't match reality
- The reality of attracting mini versions of toxic partners until you do your own healing work
Stop choosing between healing and building your empire. This episode proves that when you refuse to let someone else define your worth, when you do the brutal work of looking in the mirror and transforming from the inside out, you can build something extraordinary from the ashes of who you used to be.

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.
