In Episode 44 of The Heart Helper Podcast, we’re joined by therapist, speaker, and founder of The Empower Her Hub, Vanay Butler. With a mission to help women heal, grow, and become, Vanay challenges us to take off the cape, put ourselves first, and boldly believe that we are enough.
This conversation dives into the power of “enoughness”—what it means, how to discover it, and the moment Vanay realized it for herself. She opens up about her path to becoming a therapist and the purpose behind The Empower Her Hub, a space where women are empowered to prioritize themselves unapologetically.
We also unpack the stigma around therapy in our communities and why mental health support is not only necessary but life-changing. Vanay shares real advice for women navigating healing, self-discovery, and generational pressure.
Episode 44 is a heart-centered reminder that you don’t have to do it all to be worthy—you already are.

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.
