The Courage to Leave: Pregnancy and Birth with an Abusive Partner

Kyrie shares the heartbreaking yet ultimately courageous story of navigating her first pregnancy and the birth of her child while in an abusive marriage. She also endured hyperemesis so severe that she required hospitalization, as well as a shocking misdiagnosis that her child had a brain abnormality— via an ultrasound that was later found to be inaccurate. Kyrie explains that it was her overwhelming love for her newborn son that gave her the strength and courage to leave the abusive situation and build a better life for both of them. Today, Kyrie is an entrepreneur, speaker, author, and podcast host who is passionate about empowering other women facing the challenges of business ownership, motherhood, and personal growth.
