Love Your Mom Life

Love Your Mom Life

How often do you say to yourself, “I love my mom life?” A lot, hopefully! If, on the other hand, you sometimes feel like motherhood is one never-ending ride on the Hot Mess Express, you’re not alone, girlfriend. Being a mom is hard. And being a mom with goals and dreams is even harder. Harmonizing what you want to do as a woman with everything you have to do as a mom is a challenge every mother faces. But the truth is, with some intention, planning and a whole lot of grace, you can create what you want to experience in life, love and motherhood. Tune in to the Love Your Mom Life podcast every Wednesday with Nikki Oden, a working mother of 2 (and recovering Hot Mess Express passenger), as we explore ways to take back your time, crush your goals and create a mom life you absolutely love. And be sure to connect on FB (www.facebook.com/youridealmomlife) and Insta (@NikkiOden) and visit us at www.youridealmomlife.com.

    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.
