Think about the last time you walked through a garden in spring. The flowers aren’t just getting by—they’re stretching, blooming, and showing up in full colour. Relationships are very much the same.
When they’re flourishing, we don’t just “coexist” with the people around us—we thrive together. We laugh more, we feel safer, we grow stronger, and life just feels richer.
But here’s the thing: flourishing doesn’t just happen. It takes intention, consistency, and a little nurturing every day. Just like you wouldn’t expect a plant to bloom without sunlight and water, relationships need care to thrive.
In this episode, I’ll explore what it really looks like to flourish in relationships—romantic ones, friendships, family bonds, and even work connections.

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.
