Modern parenting is exhausting—and the answer isn’t doing more.
What if being a "Good Enough" parent is more than enough for your kids?
On this week's episode, we talk about the quiet exhaustion of modern parenting, why perfectionism is stealing our joy (and presence), and how social media has warped our sense of what it means to be a “good parent.”
If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, guilty, or like you're missing the moments that matter—this one’s for you.

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.
