Today we’d like to introduce you to Brittney Denson.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Endometriosis brought me to my knees after the birth of my second and last child. I had been suffering since I was a young girl, my menstrual cycle started at 11, with crippling pain, and I had my first surgery at 12. Not many 21-year-olds speak into existence that they want to have kids in their early twenties, get their body back, and then start modeling, but that’s exactly what I did. I didn’t fully understand it at the time. Some people thought I was selfish, but if I hadn’t followed that deep soul pull within me, I wouldn’t have my babies today.
Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility and after giving birth to my son, the disease took me down in a way I could have never imagined. I would go on to have six surgeries, losing a piece of my reproductive organs each time, until there was nothing left. By 31, I had entered surgical menopause. My case was severe, endo had spread beyond my reproductive system. It had invaded my diaphragm (twice), my intestines were fused together, and both ovaries were adhered, one to my pelvic wall, the other to my uterus. The disease had even eaten away my lower back ligaments, which had to be cut and sewn into my vaginal wall by an expert.
Endometriosis is known as an invisible disease, because the souls suffering from it often don’t look sick. It doesn’t show up on traditional testing or scans, and the only definitive way to diagnose it is through laparoscopic surgery. My case was classically delayed by 13 years, even with my first surgery at 12, where both ovaries were found to be covered with endometriomas (“chocolate cysts”), I was not given a diagnosis.
A year later, I saw a new OB-GYN for ongoing pain and extremely heavy cycles. He explained that my symptoms sounded like endometriosis, a very common disease, but he didn’t want to put me through another surgery because of my age and recent procedure. He prescribed birth control and told me I’d probably struggle with infertility when I got older, but that was it. There was no urgency, no education. This was 1999. I didn’t walk out and Google the disease on my phone. I could barely pronounce the word. So I moved on, and life went forward, with me silently carrying this pain.
There are only a handful of true endometriosis experts in the world. Looking back, I want to hug every version of myself who was dismissed by doctors. For years, I endured countless ER visits, off-the-chart pain, scans that showed nothing, and was repeatedly told everything was “normal.” I was treated like I was crazy, like I was drug-seeking. I had to fight for my diagnostic surgery, and at that time, my family had no insurance and was drowning in medical debt from bouncing between doctors and emergency rooms.
My diagnostic surgery was done at a teaching hospital, which I later learned was my first major setback. Instead of excising the endometriosis (the gold standard), they burned it off, which only set the stage for recurrence and multiple future surgeries.
I hit my version of rock bottom in 2014. My babies were toddlers, and I would wake up each morning not wanting to be alive. The enemy whispered to me daily: You will never be free. This is your fault. Your family would be better off without you. I will never forget the day I stood on the back porch of our home, looked at my husband in his eyes, and said, “If I don’t pick myself up and fight, I don’t know what’s going to happen.” From that moment on, I chose to fight, with every ounce of my being.
That’s when I brought fitness back into my life. I joined Beachbody, the online fitness platform and sales company. Fitness had always lit me up, and I knew if I could re-ignite that flame, that would be one battle won. Endorphins, movement, strength, these were keys I had to reclaim. My husband researched endometriosis-friendly nutrition, and together, we started fueling my body with intention.
In hindsight, that’s when my personal brand was born. I started doing my own photo shoots, sharing my journey on Facebook, and using the platform not just for sales, but as a way to speak boldly about the monster I was battling. I documented my entire endometriosis journey, because it was the most common disease nobody had ever heard of. There were few experts, little research, and barely any public awareness. Like millions of others, I had to learn the do’s and don’ts the hard way.
As I rebuilt, doors began to open. I was invited to compete in the Jetset Magazine cover model contest, up against women from all 50 states. The winner would receive $30,000, and I committed in my heart and publicly: if I won, I would donate the prize to the Endometriosis Foundation of America. I placed 2nd but the momentum continued. Beachbody was the spark that set everything back in motion, and my modeling debut was part of that divine rising.
Eventually, I knew it was time to see a true endometriosis expert. I documented my consultation with Dr. John Dulemba in Denton, Texas, who allowed me to film our three-hour consultation. That alone was revolutionary in this community. He sat down and educated me, as he did with all his patients. That video is still available on The Endo Channel YouTube, because I knew what I had endured and how impossible it was for most to reach a qualified doctor. I wanted to make that accessible for any soul seeking answers.
Dr. Dulemba performed my last two surgeries, using his signature back-to-back approach. He would excise the endometriosis in the first surgery, then go back in 5-7 days later, at the end stage of healing, just to gently detach any adhesions that may have formed. This method reduced the risk of future adhesions, complications, by over 70%, and I was honored to help bring awareness to it.
At the time of those surgeries, I continued rising since rock bottom. I was in the best spiritual, physical, and emotional shape of my life but I knew this journey wasn’t just about what had been done to me, it was also about what God wanted to do through me.
In the stillness of that season, God gave me the vision for The Endo Channel. It wasn’t just a brand idea. It was a God-breathed assignment. I wasn’t creating a platform for me, I was creating one for the souls who were meant to rise and speak and shift the narrative in the endometriosis community. There are so many game changers in the endo community. It’s beyond time for change. This vision is much bigger than any one person.
The Endo Channel began to take form. I collaborated with incredible voices in the community, like Joy Roberts of EndoTruthsLive, and hosted Endo Expert Q&As, giving souls free access to answers and education that had once felt so far out of reach. These were the moments I had prayed for. The channel became a sanctuary for real talk, real healing, and radical empowerment, and now, as the vision continues to expand, I feel a shift: the channel has reached a point where it needs financial support to become all God has shown me it can be. I’ve stewarded this calling faithfully and now, I believe it’s time to scale it with support and strategy. That’s where I’m at today.
Alongside the surgeries and nutrition and advocacy, I had also been doing deep soul work. I had been healing my nervous system, confronting childhood trauma, and getting to the root, those hidden hindrances that no scalpel can ever touch. I’ve come to believe that this is the true healing path. Endometriosis doesn’t just ravage the body; it wrecks the spirit and the journey back to wholeness has to be holistic. Physical. Emotional. Spiritual.
The Endo Channel was born from my pain, but it is fueled by purpose. It’s a home for the misfits, the warriors, the ones who’ve been dismissed, overlooked, and unheard. It’s a platform for truth-tellers, for change-makers, for the ones still in the dark but desperately seeking the light.
To the incredible soul reading this, the ones who have been told it’s all in your head, or that you just have a low pain tolerance, I see you. I was you, but I’m telling you now: you’re not crazy. You’re not alone and you were never meant to stay stuck.
There’s a rising happening and God is at the center of it all.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not even close. It’s been a battle every step of the way and I don’t say that for dramatic effect, I say that because I’ve lived it.
Endometriosis wasn’t just a diagnosis; it was a slow, silent torment that chipped away at my identity, my faith, my family, and my future. I was dismissed by doctors for over a decade. Told it was just anxiety. Just period pain. Just in my head. Meanwhile, this disease was silently destroying my insides, fusing organs together, invading my intestines and diaphragm, stealing years of my life. I spent so much time fighting just to be believed.
Beyond the physical agony, there were other layers of pain. Emotional trauma. Medical gaslighting. A deep, hidden grief that few people talk about, the loss of the life you thought you’d live. I entered surgical menopause at 31. That alone brought a whole new set of mental and physical struggles and on top of it all, I was still trying to be a present mother, a wife, and build something meaningful out of the ashes.
There were also seasons where I felt like my voice didn’t matter, that I was shouting into the void, trying to raise awareness while the world scrolled past. I poured my heart into this work while navigating deep personal healing, financial strain, and spiritual pruning.
What I’ve come to realize is that the “struggles” were actually sacred soil. God was breaking me open in order to plant something eternal. He was teaching me how to speak truth, how to love people in their pain, how to surrender what I thought life would look like so He could build something better.
No, it hasn’t been smooth but it’s been holy and I wouldn’t trade it for anything because through it, I’ve come to know who I am, whose I am, and what I was born to do.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I’m a part-owner of Builders Build Supply, a residential building material supplier that offer customizable builder packages, it’s grown into something we’re incredibly proud of. Alongside our residential development company. The journey of entrepreneurship has been deeply intertwined with my own personal and professional evolution. Aaron, my husband, started a drywall company back in 2008, and I stepped into the role of heading up sales in the early years and as my personal brand began to ignite, I discovered my true passion, marketing, storytelling, and especially video production and editing.
That fire changed everything for me. I began honing my skills in content creation, branding, and strategic storytelling, not just for myself, but for our companies. I poured that same creative energy into developing our brand identities, designing marketing material, managing content, and helping BBS evolve visually and digitally.
What sets us apart at BBS is our intentionality, we don’t just supply builder packages, we build visions. Every project is rooted in excellence, integrity, and strategic design. I believe branding is more than a logo or color palette, it’s a heartbeat. A message. That belief has fueled the way I’ve shaped everything from BBS’s presence to the online platforms of our other development entities.
I’m most proud of how I’ve been able to bring soul to the structure. Whether it’s through a brand video that tells a story or an aesthetic that reflects the heart behind the business, I love fusing purpose with presentation.
Now, with my passion project, The Endo Channel, I feel like I’ve come full circle. Everything I’ve learned through entrepreneurship, through building from the ground up, through the visual storytelling process, I’m now applying all of it to a mission that’s deeply personal and God-breathed.
At the end of the day, I want readers to know this: whether I’m creating content for a construction brand or producing a livestream for souls suffering from endometriosis, I show up with excellence, empathy, and fire. My work is always rooted in purpose and that’s what I believe sets every brand I touch apart.
How do you define success?
To me, success has nothing to do with status or numbers, it’s about obedience. It’s about becoming who God created me to be and walking boldly in the assignment He’s placed on my life. Success is when I know I’ve honored the vision He’s given me, even if it looks different from what the world celebrates.
It’s in the quiet “yeses,” the moments no one sees, when I keep showing up, keep creating, keep believing even when it’s hard. It’s seeing someone find hope through a story I shared or watching a soul light up because they finally feel seen in their pain. That’s success to me.
On a practical level, it’s freedom. Freedom to build a life rooted in purpose. Freedom to create what I’m called to create. Freedom to live fully aligned with my values, my voice, and my vision.
Success is not something I chase. It’s something I embody when I stay surrendered and faithful. That’s when everything flows.
