This month we are chatting with Laura Frey.
Over the years Laura has worn a number of hats including: Military Spouse, Mom, CAF Member, Fitness Competitor and Grandma.
Laura is currently posted to Halifax and is serving on the HMCS Charlottetown.
As Army Spouses – living on a Garrison that is mostly Army – our hosts had plenty of questions about life on board a ship.
In this conversation we talk about Laura’s career in the military, the ins and outs of life at sea and her physical transformation as she trained for – and competed in – a fitness competition.
Trigger Warning: This episode does include conversations about suicide and suicide ideation. We encourage you to listen with care.

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.
