From Rebellion to Reflection: A Teen’s Journey Through Change
What does real personal growth look like in a teen’s life? In this episode of the Turning Winds Podcast, host Kevin Zundl speaks with a recent Turning Winds alumnus about the transformation that happens when a young person commits to self-discovery, healing, and maturity.
Through honest reflection, they explore the emotional turning points, from initial defiance and resistance to accountability, connection, and inner strength. You’ll hear how a structured and supportive environment helped this teen shift perspective, embrace growth, and return home with a new sense of purpose.

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.
