Today we’d like to introduce you to Taylor Brune
Hi Taylor, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
Medicine and helping patients on their healing journey have always been passions of mine. At the age of 21 in 2012, my health began to decline. I developed numerous health issues and was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Later, in 2014, I was diagnosed with Lyme disease after being bit by a tick. For many years I had dedicated my life, and my research to learning how to heal from the damage this tick bite caused. Through my journey of healing myself, I helped many patients in their healing journey. A way of life (healing) became my calling. While I was on treatment for Lyme, I worked on my degree and became a premed while working in various medical practices and hospitals. I went into remission from Lyme disease in 2017 and worked very hard on the path to becoming a doctor.
I began working in the medical field in 2017, serving numerous physicians as their Medical Assistant, Scribe, Surgical Assistant, along with many other roles. I also would work second jobs in marketing, and social media. I built my own online presence through Hearts in Bloom Health, sharing my story with others who share the same health challenges as I have.
I knew if I could serve physicians in turn, it would help more patients. I was all set to apply to medical schools in 2020 when COVID took over my body in April, and I fought for my life for 3 months. This infection completely derailed me and changed my entire trajectory. My health declined once again, and doors began to close on my dream of becoming a doctor. My health was not strong enough to continue working in the hospital, so I had to quit my job and figure out another career path. My calling and purpose still remained in me, wanting to help patients heal and support physicians. It was a past physician I worked with that gave me the idea to start my own business. It was the grace of God and the endurance of my faith that allowed me to overcome the loss of my dream of becoming a doctor and turn the loss into a redirection of positive impact in patients’ and physicians’ lives. My desire to help both the communities of physicians and patients drove me to build my first business.
The Medical Minder Virtual Agency. Where I serve physician entrepreneurs build their businesses, take care of their patients through remote patient care, and help further their healing impact into the online communities of patients through social media and online courses, and various other projects. My drive has always been to help patients in their healing journey, whether it be through giving them encouragement through my social media or giving them support resources and access to physicians’ online businesses; knowing I am helping patients by helping physicians drives me. My mission is to help physician entrepreneurs spread their knowledge, resources, and stories through their online businesses and practices so that, in turn, they create beautiful and healing ripple effects in these patients’ lives. The struggles I have had to overcome with my health have made me the woman I am today, and that is a woman of value, drive, faith, purpose, and hope. And these qualities are exactly what physicians need in their team and exactly what patients need in their corner. My story is just beginning, and I am excited to see how my business creates healing ripple effects. And good news is I have gone back into remission from Lyme disease!
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Building my business while battling chronic illness has not been a smooth road. It has been a rewarding and beautiful one, though! I feel grateful for learning how to take care of my health in the midst of running my own business. It has taught me boundaries, priorities, time management, and grace. I am an example that if anyone who struggles with chronic illness has a dream, they should still go after it and do everything they can to achieve it. We are only given this life once, and we each have purpose. It’s important to be persistent, brave, and consistent in pursuing your dreams. One of my dreams was to become a doctor and help patients and physicians that way. But that door closed. So, building another dream where I still get to help patients and physicians is truly a gift that I cherish each day. Don’t let re-direction or closed doors harden your heart or close your eyes to your dreams. With a little bit of faith, trust, and your own special pixie dust, you can create something purposeful and beautiful out of something that had turned into ashes.

Knowing I am contributing to the physician and patient’s life is what fuels my purpose.
