What if your emotions were signals guiding you toward growth, balance, and joy?
In this episode of Real Things Living, I sit down with Monique Elliott—licensed clinical social worker, life coach, and host of Mind Health Matters, to explore how passion, authenticity, and self-care can transform your life.
This episode is a reminder that growth, gratitude, and self-kindness are essential for navigating life’s challenges.
🌟 3 Takeaways:
(1) Emotions are signals, not weaknesses. They help us understand what’s happening inside and guide us toward healthier choices.
(2) Passion is tied to authenticity. Suppressing it leads to unhappiness, but nurturing it fuels growth and resilience.
(3) Self-care is essential, not selfish. Small practices like movement, creativity, and intentional breaks protect mental health and prevent burnout.

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.
