Unbeatable Ep. 79: Dr. Brittany Clayborne: Healing people in places science can’t reach
When Brittany gave birth to her son, she thought she was healthy … until she had a heart attack immediately afterward. The downhill spiral from there – medically dying of heart failure 6 times, being among 1% of women who need a heart transplant, and diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer within a year after finally receiving her long-awaited transplant – turned into a catalyst for Brittany to accomplish more with her life than she ever thought possible. She earned a master’s and PhD during the most stressful periods of her life, aiming to help others cope with being on the edge of death.
You’ll hear:
How the plans Brittany had for starting her family were radically different from reality
What got her through being confined to Cardiac ICU for 9 months
What caused her to keep going after she almost gave up on her battle to “hang in there” after waiting almost 3 years for a heart transplant
What she has learned are the MOST important things in life
How she got her doctorate while undergoing chemo and radiation for Stage 4 cancer … less than a year after her heart transplant.
How both Brittany and her 12-year-old son work to help critical illness patients and their families create environments where they can heal.
