Mom of the Month: I decode blind life for my friends W/ Taylor Leigh Aguilar)

1 hour 14 minutes

We sit down with Taylor Leigh Aguilar for the second installment of our Mom of the Month series. Taylor wears many hats—she’s got an IMDb page, runs her own production company, Blind Eagle Productions, and is navigating motherhood as a blind woman. She opens up about losing her vision in her late 20s, the challenges and wins of parenting alongside her totally blind partner, and how she found her way through it all.

Taylor shares pieces of her past, from growing up sighted to adjusting to a world without vision. She talks about her time at the Colorado Center for the Blind and the unexpected sources of inspiration that pushed her forward—like the little blind kids who reminded her that parenthood was still in the cards. And, of course, we mix in some fun along the way, like sippy cups doubling as wine glasses and Bucky’s road trip adventures.

Beyond motherhood, Taylor breaks down how she shifted from visual arts to tactile storytelling, the work she’s doing with Blind Eagle Productions, and what’s next with her Blind Movement Podcast and docuseries. Her story isn’t just about adapting—it’s about thriving, creating, and proving that limits are meant to be redefined.
