We had the good fortune of connecting with Kyra Barnes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kyra, do you have some perspective or insight you can share with us on the question of when someone should give up versus when they should keep going?
Navigating whether to persevere or let go can be a challenging decision, especially when faced with obstacles in your path. One tip I considered was to keep reflecting on my long-term goals and the reasons that initially drove me to pursue a degree in healthcare and pursuing being a content creator. By reminding yourself of your passion and purpose, you can find the motivation to keep pushing forward. Additionally, seeking support from mentors, friends, or advisors can provide clarity and guidance on the best course of action. Remember, it’s okay to take a step back and reassess when needed, but ultimately trust your instincts and believe in your ability to overcome any hurdles that come your way.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
My journey as a healthcare provider has been a fulfilling adventure filled with unique experiences. What sets me apart is my genuine passion for helping others, striving to provide the highest quality care with empathy and compassion. I take immense pride in the positive impact I’ve had on my patients’ lives and the trust they place in me. Through perseverance and a positive mindset, I overcame these obstacles, learning valuable lessons about adaptability and perseverance. I want the world to know that I am dedicated to making a difference in the healthcare field and that my brand stands for excellence, integrity, and unwavering commitment to patient care.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
If my best friend was visiting Dallas for a week, I would ensure they had a memorable time! We would start by indulging in Tex-Mex delights at Mi Cocina for a flavorful culinary experience. To relax, we would wander through Klyde Warren Park, enjoying food trucks and live music. The next day, a visit to the Dallas Arboretum would be perfect for serene strolls amidst stunning botanicals. To experience the local nightlife, Deep Ellum offers vibrant bars like Twilite Lounge for live music and cocktails. Lastly, a visit to the historic Bishop Arts District, quaint and bustling with unique shops and cafes, would be the cherry on top of a fantastic week in Dallas.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
When I reflect on who else deserves a little credit and recognition in my story, my mind immediately shifts to my family and, particularly, my mom. Her unwavering support, endless love, and tireless sacrifices have shaped me in profound ways. From cheering me on during my successes to comforting me through my failures, she has always been my rock. Her wisdom, kindness, and selflessness have been the guiding light that navigated me through life’s ups and downs. In telling my story, it’s essential to acknowledge the invaluable role my family, and especially my mom, have played in shaping the person I am today.
