You’d never guess it by looking at her—driven, disciplined, and doing all the things.
But underneath Rae-Anne’s hustle was a secret she carried for decades: an unrelenting need for control.
💔 It wasn’t just about food.
💔 Or weight.
💔 Or being "good enough."
It was about pain she didn’t know how to face. And a world that taught her to hide it.
In this raw, brave episode, Rae-Anne shares her story of growing up with toxic messages about body image, spiraling into eating disorders, and how she finally began healing—from the inside out.
Here’s what you’ll hear:
✔️ The early messages that shaped her beliefs about worth and control
✔️ How addiction to restriction, achievement, and validation almost broke her
✔️ What actually helped her recover (spoiler: it wasn’t another diet)
✔️ Why emotional honesty—not willpower—is what changes everything
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing “everything right” but still empty inside...
If you’ve ever used food, achievement, or perfection as a way to cope...
This conversation will feel like a lifeline.
You’re not alone. And you’re not broken.
There’s a different way forward—and Rae-Anne is living proof.

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.
