Fear of judgment has a way of pulling you under, whispering every reason to stay small, stay silent, and stay invisible. It convinces you to wait - until you’re “ready,” until it’s “perfect,” until the risk of rejection magically disappears.
Spoiler alert: it never does.
What happens when we let the fear of judgment dictate our choices? We hand over our power. We dim our voice for people who wouldn’t do the same for us. We hesitate, overthink, and stall, feeding the very forces or people that keep us stuck. And some of these energy vampires thrive on our hesitation. They drain us, knowingly or not, using our doubt to fuel their own comfort.
But what if, instead of waiting, we just did the thing? What if we let go of the need for approval and stepped forward—messy, imperfect, and free?
If fear has been keeping you small, if you’ve been feeding people who don’t feed you back, this episode is for you. It’s time to take your power back.

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.
