This week’s Guest Andrea was raised on the mission field of Seoul, South Korea, and as a Third Culture Kid, she’s familiar with navigating cultural diversity to find her own place of belonging.
A family history of obesity showed up early, along with bulimia and depression. Her determination to become healthy, however, led to gastric bypass surgery and is a testament to her persevering spirit.
She experienced early menopause (at 39), and became an adoptive mother through private adoption, at 42.
Her personal journey of deconstructing her own assumptions, beliefs and conditioning produced her signature tool, Intentional Optimism. It provides the framework for how we do what we do. It’s the attitudes and mindsets we employ and embody to live out our own values, goals and dreams with excellence.

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.
