درباره این اپیزود
What happens when two doctors fall in love, get married, go through medical school and residency together, survive a pandemic on the front lines and then get divorced? And then get married again? Julie and David sit down with trauma surgeon Dr. Brittany Bankhead and emergency physician Dr. Brian Kendall to unpack one of the most remarkable relationship stories they've ever heard.
Brittany and Brian met in college in a medical communications class, dated long distance while Brian was in the Peace Corps in Albania, got engaged after their first kiss on the beach, and married seven months later. Thirteen years, two kids, multiple cities, and the chaos of COVID later, their marriage crumbled. But the way they divorced was just as intentional as the way they came back together.
In this episode, Julie and David explore:
✔️ How Brittany and Brian navigated a whirlwind romance and early marriage shaped by cultural and religious expectations
✔️ The emotional weight of training together in medical school, long-distance residencies, and COVID on the front lines
✔️ Why Brittany was the one who said "enough" and how post-COVID PTSD and suicidal ideation led her to transform her own life
✔️ How they co-parented from houses in the same neighborhood (with a pool in between and a golf cart to get around)
✔️ The moment at the pool, two and a half years after the divorce, when they looked at each other and thought: wait
✔️ Their "rant or remedy" communication tool for supporting each other without trying to fix everything
✔️ How intentional scheduling, coffee walks, pickleball, and date days booked by their family virtual assistant keeps their relationship strong
✔️ Dr. Brittany Bankhead's passion project, Modern Mom Lab, pairing high-achieving moms with family virtual assistants to help both sides thrive
