I’m so energized by this conversation where I discuss all things birth education with Kaila Maguire.

Kaila Maguire, a former kindergarten teacher turned 21st-century childbirth educator and podcaster, joins me today to share her passion around empowering other moms. She’s a fellow boy mom who sought something entirely different after navigating significant life changes during her pregnancy and early postpartum period, coinciding with the world's shutdown in 2020. Motivated to shed light on less-discussed aspects of parenthood, she launched Parent Tell, a podcast focused on diverse and underrepresented pregnancy and parenting narratives. Despite not being able to attend birth prep classes, Kaila turned this challenge into fuel and became a certified birth instructor, birthing Not Your Mama’s Birth Services.

In today’s conversation, Kaila and I share our birth experiences and highlight the need for more relevant information, not only in birth education but also in the fourth trimester. We explore Kaila’s transition from kindergarten teacher to childbirth educator, the concept that all moms are ‘working moms,’ the importance of community and reducing isolation in the post-pandemic era, the ongoing juggling act of motherhood, and more.

Kaila takes pride in being the friendly face and warm presence for expecting parents. Not Your Mama’s Birth Services is not just educational and inclusive but also FUN – because birth education should be enjoyable! I'm incredibly grateful for Kaila's efforts in shedding light on the various birthing options in our society and providing invaluable postpartum support for families. Whether you’re a new mom, building your business, or simply managing multiple responsibilities, I believe this raw and empowering episode will offer invaluable support!
