Ep 023 | What It’s Like To Wake Up With Amnesia (Interview with Jaimee Kort)
Imagine you wake up one morning and you can’t remember meeting your spouse or launching your business or what your childhood was like. Today’s guest, Jaimee Kort suffers from complex retrograde amnesia (from losing her parents back to back) and 5 years after that fateful day ensures it doesn’t rule her life as she strives for happiness, fulfillment and creating the life she now wants to live. Jaimee is an inspiration for all of us and a real-life movie playing out in front of our eyes.
What we’re talking about
- Waking Up With Amnesia
- Running A Business
- Moving Forward
Not Remembering Your Husband Or Childhood And More
Complex retrograde amnesia is a memory loss of all life episodes. Jaimee shares how she doesn’t remember meeting her husband or getting married, hiring her staff of 14, her childhood, school, being held as a child and much more. It’s been 5 years since she woke up to this new life and after a year of focusing on ways to get her memory back, she’s now focusing on the future that lies ahead and how she can train her brain to recognize things such as rewards.
Scrapping Her Business Plan
Jaimee stumbled upon notes and a business plan that she had written prior and decided to scrap it and start over. She shares how she feels like a new person who had new goals and insights as to where her business should be going. She’s implemented these changes and not only is her business growing and thriving but she often teams up with Disney on collaborations.
Creating Her Own Destiny
Filled with inspiration, Jaimee is looking forward to the future which includes having a wedding next year so she can enjoy that first dance with her husband which she’ll remember going forward. Focused on living her life in a positive way, Jaimee is doing speaking engagements to share her story and the fact that the human spirit is resilient no matter what it goes through.
Start looking forward and not in the rearview mirror!

I’m getting ready for this photoshoot and when I was driving home, I was on the phone with my husband and I was just laughing uncontrollably and he said you’re very very giggly, are you feeling a reward? And I said is that what that feels like cuz I’m really not sure and he said yeah a reward signal feels giggly and I’m like, then I feel a reward and it was really really strong and by the time I got home, I didn’t want to go to bed because this was the first time I felt a reward in 5 years. My brain didn’t remember or was aware it was even a reward I was feeling. 100% and it wasn’t short. It wasn’t faint, it was a full blown reward signal and I never wanted to let it go.
