Join me along with doula, birth coach and birth nerd Kyleigh Banks for this episode where we chat all about questioning the status quo in the birth world and finding your own unique path!

During this episode we discuss:

  • Kyleigh's journey into parenthood and how she questioned modern maternity care that does not promote autonomy
  • The ways Kyleigh prepared for her planned home birth
  • Why Kyleigh believes birth is mostly about our mindset
  • The five pillars of an autonomous birth
  • Kyleigh's transition to birth work and how she now helps other birth professionals support families *without* experiencing burnout, while making $$$
