The BIRTHFIT Podcast

Leah Barto is discussing her current role as a mother of two young children, ages six and three and a half. She is in a transitional phase where her kids are no longer babies but still require significant attention. Alongside her parenting duties, Leah works part-time with BirthFit, where she helps develop and oversee their online programs as the company switches to a new platform. She also continues working as a doula but has scaled back, focusing only on close friends and home births to align with her current priorities. Leah emphasizes how she and her husband have made intentional decisions, based on their family values, to prioritize being present in their children's lives. This has included financial sacrifices and shifting responsibilities so that she can stay home and nurture their children, a role that feels deeply aligned with her heart and purpose.
