Welcome back to the Embrace Family Recovery Podcast! Many of you have asked for more solo episodes, so I’m bringing my Moments with Margaret series from YouTube and weaving them into my lineup alongside incredible guest conversations.
Back in 1996, as a student at Hazelden Betty Ford, I was introduced to the term AFGE – Another F’n Growing Experience. These are the painful, challenging moments in life that, while difficult, offer profound opportunities for growth—if we’re willing to lean in, embrace the discomfort, and work through them.
Today, I’m sharing one of my own AFGEs—one of those tough but transformative life experiences. I hope it resonates with 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.
