Last year, I, McKayla, sat at the Go Red for Women event wondering which story might one day be mine.
❤️ Utah Postpartum Care is going red for women, again.
We’re beyond honored to support Holly Hill of as part of the Go Red for Women® Woman of Impact campaign with the American Heart Association for 2026.
Last year, we also had the honor of supporting Brianne Taggart’s with for the Go Red campaign and during that event, this work became personal in a way I didn’t expect.
When we agreed to be part of Bri’s campaign, it was to raise awareness as postpartum professionals. But by the time the event arrived, I had just received lab results from my functional medicine provider that raised early concerns about my own heart health.
So as women stood on stage sharing their heart attack and survival stories, something shifted.
This wasn’t just for other women.
It wasn’t “someday.”
It felt UNCOMFORTABLY close.
The only people who knew what I was carrying that day were Tiara, sitting beside me, and my partner who I definitely text between a couple speeches that were especially triggering. I remember feeling so in awe of the women that were up there, wondering if I’d handle something so heavy with the same grace.
As postpartum doulas, we work with women during one of the most vulnerable times of their lives and heart health is part of that story.
🚨 Here’s what too many women don’t know, and SHOULD..
👉🏽 Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in women, yet less than half of women are aware of it, AND it impacts roughly 1 in 3 women over their lifetime.
That means this isn’t rare.
And it means this could be any of us.
So when Holly, also part of the community was nominated this year, it was an immediate yes. We’re showing up again to share the facts, raise funds, and support real change for women’s heart health.
