This week, Sarah dives in to the topic of autonomy during loss and pregnancy after loss, with a really special guest.
Kyleigh became a doula in 2019 after leaving her soul-sucking “real job” with no plan. She prepared for her birth in a very unconventional way — prioritizing mindset and autonomy over following the status quo. Spoiler alert: the first words out of her mouth after giving birth were, “That wasn’t as hard as it looked!”
Since blissfully giving birth to her daughter at home in February of 2020, Kyleigh has helped over 1,400+ women achieve their dream birth... No, not a birth where “everything goes perfectly,”... but a birth where the mom is completely in charge and drips in confidence as the sole decision-maker for her birth experience.
Kyleigh has crowned herself the shameless slayer of bullsh*t and coercion within the pregnancy and birth community... and there’s no doubt that her IG community of 28,000 women would agree!
After impacting thousands of lives and growing a successful birth-focused business, Kyleigh fell in love with helping other birth nerds (doulas, midwives, birth coaches, childbirth educators, etc.) turn their passion for birth into a successful career. She launched the Birthworker Podcast in July of 2022 – debuting at #17 in the category “USA: Business: Careers” and has maintained a top 200 rating ever since!
As the founder of Birthworker.com, Kyleigh is committed to providing doulas worldwide with the resources and support they need to change the global birth community, ditch their 9-5, stay home with their kids, and start living life on their own terms.
Kyleigh is best known for two things — questioning the status quo when it comes to anything related to birth... and helping change the global birth narrative by re-centering the mom as the sole authority of her birth experience.
When Kyleigh isn’t helping birth nerds go all-in on their doula business, she’s traveling across the world with her family, binging birth podcasts (duh!), or... let’s be honest... scrolling mindlessly on TikTok LOL!
