Dr. Brittany K. Bankhead is a double board-certified trauma surgeon and critical care physician, Associate Professor of Surgery in Charleston, SC, and a mother navigating the realities of high-stakes medicine and modern motherhood. With over a decade of experience in acute care surgery, she is no stranger to pressure, precision, and prioritizing what matters most.

Modern Mom Lab was born from Dr. Bankhead’s lived experience as a mother balancing the intensity of surgical life with the deep desire to show up fully at home. After battling PTSD in the wake of COVID, she transformed her healing into a mission: to equip other high-performing women with the structure, systems, and support to thrive—both professionally and personally. Through programs like Time Alchemy & The Grid, she is redefining what it means to “have it all,” with intention, optimization, and self-compassion.
