Like listening to a friend,

This podcast is like when you are sitting with friends and listening to their stories. It’s relatable, it’s easy to follow and has great topics. Not only do I learn new things, I am encouraged to take my business farther.

Massage Doula ,

Amazing Podcast

I am a seasoned Doula but listening to Kyleigh and her guests, I have still learned so much about tweaking and changing my business for the better!

LeahSandow ,

I needed to hear this today

I binged a few episodes today and they are all what I needed to hear. I may re-listen a second time to hype myself up more.
Newly trained, not yet certified, doula who also has an application in for midwifery school brewing. Feeling all the feelings of a newbie and this has helped so much! Excited to continue listening to gather more wisdom and insight.
