The coexistence of deep sorrow and deep joy with Susan and Linda:

  • Linda’s journey to reclaiming joy after an abusive relationship and losing her young daughter.
  • Becoming the Chief Joy Officer in your own life.
  • Learning to navigate and tame the Joy-Stealing Dragons.
  •  

    Key Takeaways:

  • There are always layers - we all need support, especially for those of us who give a lot of ourselves to others.
  • You are the only one who has control over you. Even when the dragons are trying to steal your joy, you can tell them to back off and tame them and learn to walk with them and reclaim your joy.
  • The best way to tame all of the dragons is to take action. It sounds simple, but it can be a challenge. Just doing something allows the dragons to fall by the wayside.

    "She had so much joy, and brought so much joy to me and to other people, that I'd rather be happy and share that happiness than share the sadness. I feel like being that beacon of being able to talk about her from a place of gratitude, from a place of joy, somehow helps other people with their grief." —  Linda Shively

    Cardiac Cowboys

    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.
