A Story from the Heart - featuring Kayanna Scott

In 2018, I survived a widow-maker heart attack—a moment that changed everything. With the support of my family, friends, colleagues, and church, I’ve learned the power of small, daily choices for my heart: healthier snacks, quick walks, prayer, and self-care.

Stress played a big role in my heart attack, so now I guard my peace, keep balance, and talk things out. Sharing my story—especially with other women—has become part of my healing. Every day, I “live to the beat” by choosing my attitude, leaning on my community, and helping others take small steps to protect their hearts.
