In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Fawn and Matt dive into the messy reality of setting boundaries and navigating difficult relationships. From the frustrations of an intrusive neighbor to the larger questions of power, gender roles, and leadership, this episode explores what happens when our safe spaces are invaded and rage takes over.
Fawn shares her personal struggle with anger, vulnerability, and the addictive pull of resentment, while Matt offers grounding insights on boundaries, perspective, and even a few playful (cartoon-style) ways of reframing conflict. Together, they examine how to protect your peace, keep your circle strong, and avoid getting pulled into destructive cycles—whether with neighbors, family, or even global leaders.
This isn’t just about neighbors or noise; it’s about finding balance between strength and compassion, recognizing our triggers, and learning when to hold the line or let go. If you’ve ever wrestled with rage, struggled with setting limits, or wondered how to maintain your own peace in the face of conflict, this episode is for you.

Boundaries and what to do when they’re crossed

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.
