In this raw and soul-stirring episode, we dive deep into the unspoken struggles many couples face: how two people from completely different emotional backgrounds can ever hope to build a lasting love without first understanding each other’s wounds.
We unpack how speaking harshly over your relationship plants seeds of destruction, why honest conversations about your upbringing are essential for true connection, and why teaching your partner how to love you isn’t weakness; it’s wisdom.
We’ll explore how a man’s energy sets the emotional climate of the relationship, why emotional safety will always matter more than material gifts, and why so many people unknowingly sabotage real love by holding onto the ghosts of their past.
If you’ve ever wrestled with feeling unseen, unsafe, or misunderstood in love, this conversation will challenge you, heal you, and maybe even change the way you approach relationships forever.
Because real love? It demands more than chemistry and it demands growth.
Key Takeaways:
• Why “teaching someone how to love you” is powerful, not desperate.
• How emotional safety impacts attraction, vulnerability, and longevity.
• Why consistency will always outweigh grand gestures in a healthy relationship.
• How your childhood experiences are shaping your romantic decisions — whether you realize it or not.
• How real love challenges you, while surface-level love leaves you comfortable but stagnant.

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.
