Flatlined and Fine

In this episode of Flatlined and Fine, we talk about how surviving sudden cardiac arrest changed us both—but not necessarily in the same ways. From shifting priorities and evolving personalities to finding humor in the darkest moments, we explore how facing death changed our perspectives and shaped who we are today. ❤️

❤️ SURVIVOR SPOTLIGHT: MEET JENNA! 🎙️

Meet Jenna, our FIRST guest survivor on Flatlined and Fine! Jenna survived sudden cardiac arrest in her 30s… WHILE SLEEPING. 😳 Sound familiar?!

Her story is another powerful reminder of WHY learning CPR matters and why we should never take a single day of this life for granted. Jenna currently works as a therapist assisting adults and families navigate dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. We are in awe of her story and we can’t wait for you to hear it!

October is Sudden Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month, so we’re getting dead serious about something we know a little too well. 🫠

We talk about how CPR saved both our lives, the lifesaving power of AEDs, cardiac screening for youth athletes, and the laws and advocacy needed to protect more hearts. Because sometimes the difference between a really bad day and your funeral is someone knowing CPR. 💀❤️

In this episode, we talk about our ever-evolving bodies through all the eras of life—from teenage beauts to motherhood, FUPAs, aging, and post-cardiac arrest bodies. Because apparently, our bodies had their own plans. 😂

This week on Flatlined and Fine, we’re talking about our death wishes—from cremation and obituaries to wakes, funerals, and how we want to be remembered. We reflect on losing our dad and what it’s like planning someone’s final goodbye. And it wouldn’t be our podcast without making some inappropriate jokes about death, cremation, and what the hell happens to us when we’re gone. 🪦🔥😂

Just because we’re sisters and both survived cardiac arrest doesn’t mean we’re anything alike! 😂 In this episode, we dive deeper into who we are as individuals with a fun, unfiltered game covering our worst habits, irrational fears, who would get arrested, who would survive stranded on an island, and much more. ❤️‍🩹

What would you do with $10 million? 💰 In this episode of Flatlined and Fine, we dream about traveling to Europe for cardiac care, hiring drivers, chefs, cleaners, and everything else we’d buy if money were no object. And of course, the older sibling vs. younger sibling difference is STRONG—because apparently, birth order also determines how you’d spend $10 million. 😂

In this episode, we talk medical PTSD, Kayla spiraling during her son’s surgery, CPR recertification, and the joy of explaining our entire medical history to yet another doctor who apparently has never heard of it. Nothing says “fine” like reliving your trauma in a waiting room.☠️🤣

In this episode, we’re talking about the part of our cardiac journeys that hits a little differently: our kids. We dive into the genetics behind our heart conditions, the questions and fears that come with wondering what could be passed down, and what we’ve learned navigating our children’s cardiac care. We also share Kendra’s experience with her children’s congenital heart condition and what it’s like to sit on the other side of the cardiology appointment—as the worried parent instead of the patient. 🫀

In this episode of Flatlined and Fine, we’re stepping outside the traditional treatment box and talking about all the things we’ve tried—or are willing to try—to feel better after cardiac arrest. From therapy and massages to hypnosis, cupping, salt baths, and everything in between, we’re exploring the alternative ways people cope with stress, trauma, anxiety, and life after survival. What actually helps? What sounds completely ridiculous? And are we just willing to try anything at this point? 😂🫀
