In this episode I sit down with educator and public speaker Ayanna Crawford about the power of using your voice to lead, heal, and set boundaries. Ayanna shares how a life-changing moment at 16 taught her to speak up without violence—and how that decision lead to her living on her purpose today! We speak about setting clear boundaries, how to respond in tough situations, communicating with intention, and with all that to build your confidence. If communication is something you want to improve or even if you want a fresh perspective, then this episode is for you! #enoughsaid #voicesinpower

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.
