Flatlined and Fine

Flatlined and Fine is a podcast hosted by two sisters who survived sudden cardiac arrest in our 30s, randomly, separately and without warning. Through honest conversations, dark humor and zero sugarcoating, we talk about what happens after you come back: fear, gratitude, trauma, sisterhood and the strange pressure to feel “fine.” This is a space for survivors, caretakers and anyone curious about how close you can get to the edge and still build a full life.

    From Cardiologists to Crematories

    This week we’re talking about one of life’s greatest horrors: appointments. The waiting, the rescheduling, the anxiety, and somehow always being the youngest person in the waiting room by about 20 years. We vent about the endless cycle of doctor visits that comes with surviving cardiac arrest, then—because we have the attention span of squirrels—we somehow end up discussing cremation. Specifically, the fun fact nobody asked for: your ICD usually doesn’t burn during cremation. So if you’ve ever wondered what outlives you…apparently it’s your heart device. Come for the appointment trauma, stay for the morbid funeral facts and the completely unnecessary rabbit holes.

    Keeping People Alive with the CPR Mom

    In this episode, we sit down with mom, nurse, and CPR instructor Tania (@thecprmom) to talk about the life-saving importance of CPR and AEDs. As cardiac arrest survivors ourselves, we discuss what to do in an emergency, what an AED actually is, and why everyone should learn CPR — because it could save someone you love.

    Still Here, Still Struggling

    Cardiac arrest changes so much more than just your heart. In this episode, we talk honestly about the daily struggles and unexpected challenges we still face after surviving cardiac arrest. From bras (yes, really) to traveling, sleeping, exhaustion, anxiety, and even simple everyday tasks, we share the parts of recovery that people don’t often talk about. This episode is raw, relatable, funny at times, and a real look into what life after cardiac arrest actually feels like.

    Undiagnosed and Overthinking

    In this episode, we dive into the theories, diagnoses, and testing we’ve faced since surviving cardiac arrest. We talk about conditions like Brugada syndrome, Long QT syndrome, genetic testing, and the uncertainty that can come with searching for answers. Kayla shares her recent Brugada testing experience, while Kendra opens up about still having minimal diagnosis at this point in her journey. This episode is an honest conversation about navigating the unknown, advocating for yourself, and living in the gray areas of cardiac health.
