Kayla’s “Snowman”: From Seven Seizures a Day to a Second Chance

At 18, Kayla got lost in a familiar city. By 24, she was having up to seven grand mal seizures a day, losing vision and hearing without warning, and being told it was stress or “in her head.” After years of misdiagnosis, she found a surgeon in Texas who removed a trilobal 15mm pineal cyst that had ruptured her pineal gland. The results were immediate: seizures stopped, vision and hearing normalized, appetite returned—and her long-absent menstrual cycle restarted within 48 hours. Today, Kayla’s a mom of two, back behind the wheel and behind the camera, reclaiming the life she thought was gone.

This conversation covers medical gaslighting, advocating for yourself, insurance and out-of-state care, and what recovery really looks like years later..
