Summary

In this episode, I explore the feelings of disappointment that arise when life doesn't align with personal expectations and societal timelines. It is important to acknowledge these feelings, reframing them, and understanding that personal growth often comes from navigating through these challenges. The conversation encourages listeners to embrace their unique journeys and recognize that they are not behind but rather becoming who they are meant to be.

Takeaways

  • Disappointment is layered and personal.
  • It's okay to grieve the life you thought you'd have.
  • Your timeline is custom-made and not broken.
  • Disappointment often shows up when we compare ourselves to others.
  • Let yourself feel your emotions without judgment.
  • Reframe disappointment as redirection towards something better.
  • Your life is not linear; every season is sacred.
  • Talk to yourself with kindness and compassion.
  • Every setback can lead to personal growth and clarity.
  • You are not forgotten; you are in progress.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
