Elaine Welteroth is a bit of a Girlboss legend. She was a speaker at our Girlboss Rally conference for two years in a row, and has been a guest on Girlboss Radio. We’ve been champions of Elaine’s career since her days at Teen Vogue when she became the editor-in-chief at just 29 years old, the youngest in Condé Nast history. 

Since then, she’s gone on to write a New York Times best-selling memoir, More Than Enough, and teach a course with MasterClass about designing your dream career.

We're so excited to have Elaine on the pod once again to talk about her latest venture: birthFUND, a non-profit that supports families in the U.S. who can’t afford the out-of-pocket costs of midwifery care. And she launched it with none other than tennis legend Serena Williams.

Elaine and Avery chatted about how her own birthing experience inspired her to start birthFUND, how to advocate for yourself when pregnant, and how she brings big ideas to life.

Learn more about birthFUND at thebirthfund.com and @birthfund on Instagram, and follow Elaine at @elainewelteroth.
