Living Your Design with PR Expert & Human Design Reader Kaila O'Connor

On her 29th birthday, Kaila O'Connor left her abusive relationship for the last time and moved to Los Angeles alone to experience a fresh start with what she thought was her dream PR job.

Three months later, she discovered Human Design accepting and coming home to her 6/2 Splenic Projector identity.

Like a classic Saturn Return love story, Kaila's 29th and 30th years of life were spent experimenting with freelance work, becoming a reiki master practitioner and certified animal communicator, accepting a job in affiliate marketing (which she knew nothing about), reconnecting with and marrying her soulmate from college and finally moving to Chicago to be with her.

After working 10+ years in various PR agencies and feeling burnt out, low worth, and a lack of abundance, affiliate marketing and human design changed her life.

Kaila started her company KMO Consulting, while wearing the scars of her life experiences with pride. She's a self-taught pioneer in this new age of Affiliate PR. With a rolodex of key editor relationships and intuitive decision-making guided by her Human Design chart, Kaila's proven ability to generate high-revenue media coverage has disrupted the PR industry and its "always on the grind" mentality.
