You Don't Choose to Be a Medical Mom… But You Can Choose How You Rise

Alana Kayfetz shares the moment her infant son’s open-heart surgery led to a life-changing diagnosis of Myhre Syndrome during COVID, forcing her into a world of hospital stays, trauma, and relentless advocacy. She speaks candidly about watching her son flatline, navigating PTSD, disappearing from public life, and redefining identity as both a driven entrepreneur and a medical mom. This conversation explores what it means to over-function in crisis, advocate without apology, raise over $265,000 for caregiver support while still bedside, and rebuild ambition and joy after trauma reshapes everything.
