Sometimes being a doula is the easiest job in the world.

I find myself awaiting the arrival of my niece’s first baby. And in the meantime, taking in the Portland skyline.

Take all the time you need, Little One.

After many years of training doulas, we’re pivoting yet again. Evolving actually. Weekend trainings are a great option for new doulas that are looking to dabble in birth work, maybe hoping to add a few clients here and there to their already established profession, or for those who aren’t seeking to build a career. But for those who want the whole shebang? You need more. The rates of dropout doulas after their trainings is astronomically high—this means MOST doulas who train aren’t even attempting to practice! Could this be because of fear, overwhelm, and feeling under equipped? Then, consider the rate of burnout amongst doulas in the first 1-3 years—we lose another huge swath of our population. If it takes nine months to grow a baby, we think it takes nine months to grow a doula.

Introducing our nine month apprenticeship, Sept-April, that includes the following:

—> FOUR weekend retreats (birth doula work, business and marketing, postpartum doula work, and mind-body tools)
—> Shadowing births
—> Business branding
—> Bi-weekly educational zooms
—> Online doula portal with downloadable forms
—> Continuous mentoring and community

Today was technically the last day to get our early bird discount, but we’re extending the deadline to the end of tomorrow! We haven’t done much advertising because, honestly, there’s already been a wave of applicants. But we still have a few spots open! Visit my website to learn more and fill out an application (link in stories). This cohort launches September 1st!

What questions do you have?

You get a lot of recommendations for birth books, usually non-fiction, informational, factual….but definitely none like these. I consider these the finest works of postpartum/early motherhood literature. And powerful companions! Rachel Yoder even references The Yellow Wallpaper in Nightbitch, so she knew what she was doing. Maybe reading them while you’re in the throes of pregnancy and postpartum isn’t recommended? But that’s your personal call. I’m the type that benefits from the hard truths even while I’m swimming in the hard truths—there’s profound validation and insight to be found there.

I’m downright obsessed and I’m dying to discuss them together with my birthy people. Who wants to do a two-part book club with me? Type “yellow bitch” and I’ll add you to the contact list if we can get enough interest!

In the meantime, you can listen to a podcast episode we covered in Birth Mystics about the Yellow Paper…but it does contain spoilers! (See link in my stories.)

Did you know that the biggest motivating factor for me to step into childbirth education was to help Survivors? I had no idea when I was giving birth that painful experiences from my past that were held in my body would be triggered during labor, birth, and postpartum. Even as I was being triggered I didn’t KNOW I was being triggered because I had no language for it. No book I’d read or class I’d taken had ever talked about. And this is remarkable considering that 1 out of 3 women have reported experiencing s*xual assault or abuse (and that’s only REPORTED). Not to mention, many women experience their first violation IN the birth experience itself. I am committed to advancing the culture of consent, trauma-support, and early education.

As part of this effort, I am proud and honored to be joining with the Survivor Sanctuary project that brings profound support to Survivors across the country. We are rolling out phase one with a patronicity drive. If we can get enough single donors, we will be able to create the art installment, bring a workshop to Utah, and sponsor participants for our full retreat (being held in beautiful Massachusetts).

Can you spare $1-5? Seriously. That’s all it takes. I hope you’ll show your support by clicking on the link 🔗 in stories.

A truly fascinating memoir of an Utah midwife, who I learned recently passed away from cancer. She not only takes you on her journey into birth work (including supporting polygamist wives in Hilldale and Colorado City) but also on her faith deconstruction. For many birth workers, we encounter so much raw feminine power and toxic patriarchal overreach that we find ourselves questioning certain religious precedents. That doesn’t always look like leaving one’s religion but I have found that it leads to a remarkable nuanced perspective that is so needed for us to do the work we do. Questioning the role medical authority is just step away from questioning patriarchal authority on a societal level.

Have you observed this? Have you experienced this? Are you in the midst of this? Read the book and let’s have a meaningful discussion about it!

Attending births these days is a special and rare honor. As I’ve stepped back into the world of academia (teaching, writing, and preparing to apply for grad school) I’ve had to step back from on-call life. That was no easy decision! But sometimes there are magical alignments that open up a space for me to glide back into the birth room, if even just once or twice a year. It fills my cup! It keeps my flame burning! I may not be regularly in the frontlines as a doula these days but birth will always be my muse. It inspires the hell out of me. And so do these amazing practitioners! Shout out to Teryl Stay & Kalli Chason🌿 Utah Midwife CPM, LDEM and Jess Bair | Lavender + Honey Wellness for their excellent support of my client last night. I throughly enjoyed watching you in action and rubbing shoulders for a bit.

The writing process has been an exercise in patience and trust. Back in 2019, I found clarity on what my first book was going to be. And then I wrote it in a matter of months. It just poured out of me. And then I had a professional read it and give me feedback. She tore it to shreds in the most tactful way possible. And I grieved for a while, stopped writing in order to lick my wounds. Then, I got over myself and started over. Second draft. Went through the same process. Said goodbye to yet another version. Took a break. Grieved. Started the third draft. And now, I’m looking back with IMMENSE gratitude that more experienced writers than me were willing to tell me the hard truths in order for me to dig deeper, write better. It’s not even remotely the same book! And thank God for that.

Today, I was honored to meet with author and publisher Lucy H. Pearce - Creatrix, whom I’ve long admired, to receive personalized feedback on my book proposal. I took her “How to Get Published” online course last year (she’ll be offering it again next May), applied what I learned, then booked a private mentoring session to help me fine tune the proposal. Her instruction has given me the practical nuts and bolts AND confidence to start submitting to agents. If you’re like me, stepping onto the writer’s path with little knowledge of the publishing world, Lucy’s mentorship is an incredible place to start.

Here’s to this next exercise in patience and trust—facing rejection as often as necessary until I find the YES.

The word “myth” has more than one meaning. On one hand, there is ancient mythology that captures the spirit of a culture and encompasses the power of a message. On the other hand, there are the lies and misconceptions that have been perpetuated in our culture. In our upcoming workshop, Embody Your Story, I intend to lead a discussion and creative writing process that explores both sides of postpartum myth—the ancient stories that shape and guide our understanding of postpartum, while also exposing the lies and mistruths that have negatively influenced postpartum.

To get the discussion started, what would you say is one of the most harmful myths you were taught (from society, friends, family, culture) surrounding postpartum? What woke you up to the realization that it WAS a myth and not a truth? What have you replaced that myth with?

We blessed each other with floral wands and pixie dust, then wove those flowers and blessings into crowns. Welcoming the summer solstice with amazing women and friends…so grateful 🙏 Join us at our next Doula Tea in October as we welcome the Fall Equinox.

Received a beautiful reiki and sound healing session with a former doula client and this was my view upon “waking up.”

I don’t live my life to make others proud of me.
Am I proud of myself?
Am I free to define my own happiness?
Am I willing to redefine what it means to be successful, even if it’s different from my family and ancestors?
Can I stand confidently in the life I’ve chosen?
Can I “return to sender” all those expectations and burdens thrust upon me that I didn’t ask for?

Yes. Oh, yes! A million times YES.
