The Keezia Leigh Show

Last episode we shared Emma's birth story. And now it’s time to reveal the beautiful, raw, incredible conversation of Emma interviewing Keezia as she retells her birth story.

From maiden to mother.
A homebirth that didn't quite go to plan, but gave me everything I needed.

It was hard. It was challenging and yet it was so freaking magical and I will never ever take this experience for granted.

This conversation is not to be missed.
