About this episode

Katheryn Pistoresi shares her miraculous story of survival after spending 47 days in a coma and facing death, emphasizing faith, community, and healing.

What would you do if a nurse whispered in your ear that you had 20 minutes to live? In this episode of The BraveHearted Woman Podcast , I sit down with Katheryn Pistoresi, owner of K2 Corporate Wellness and author of 20 Minutes to Live, to unpack a story of miraculous survival, spiritual grit, and the kind of courage that only comes when you have nothing left but faith. After spending 47 days in a coma from a rare condition called ARDS (Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome), Katheryn defied every medical prognosis to walk, talk, and serve again. In this episode, she shares what she heard, felt, and believed in those critical moments, including a personal encounter with Jesus at her bedside. You'll hear how community, prayer, and a stubborn commitment to healing one small step at a time brought her back to full life. Whether you're facing a health crisis, feeling isolated, or just need a reminder that God's report is bigger than any doctor's prognosis, this episode is for you. Katheryn's story is a living testimony that brave women rise, even from the lowest places.
