Breaking Free From Self-Pity

You know that voice in your head that says "Of course this happened to me" or "Nothing ever goes my way"?

That voice isn't protecting you. It's sabotaging everything you want.

Most people think they're just "being realistic" when they rehearse their problems over and over. But there's a razor-thin line between acknowledging reality and drowning in it—and crossing that line is costing you your dreams, your relationships, and your peace.

In this episode, I'm exposing the sneaky mental pattern that masquerades as honesty but actually traps you in a cycle of powerlessness. More importantly, I'll give you the exact steps to break free and reclaim your life—starting today.

You'll discover:

  • The shocking difference between processing pain and feeding it (most people get this backwards)
  • Why your circumstances don't determine your emotional state (and the proof that will blow your mind)
  • Practical ways to create peace, gratitude, and resilience, even when life feels messy

If you're tired of waiting for your circumstances (or other people) to change before you feel better, this episode is for you.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
