I couldn’t NOT do this work….

As a doula I encountered SO OFTEN stories of women unknowingly giving their power away in birth, saying things like “I had no idea that was an option” “I didn’t even know I could ask for that, do that, opt out of that”. 

Losing autonomy by succumbing to the “I’m not allowed to” , “My doctor won’t LET me” narrative. 

This trickled into motherhood and I quickly connected the dots between the loss of autonomy when birthing, to the loss of autonomy in motherhood.

It became obvious to me that I did things differently than most. 

• I went to culinary school as a 4.0 honor student, then shifted careers after spending thousands on a degree, to teach yoga and pursue entrepreneurship when I had NO idea what I was doing.

• I opted out of an experimental shot when the whole world (including my close friends and family) deemed it safe and effective. Even when I was pressured, called selfish, and excluded from events - I stuck to my guns. 

• I chose unconventional health choices for my family that have sparked hard conversations, created tension & required me to hold boundaries.

• I have pursued my soul's mission when it made no sense on paper to keep going. Through every pivot, set back and lack of income I stayed gritty because I just KNEW this is what I was meant to be doing. 

• I birthed my babies MY way, which involved bucking the system in a lot of ways & trusting my decisions even when outcomes did not look ideal from the outside. 

I don’t regret a single one of these decisions.

It’s not about the outcome, it’s about having autonomy over your own fucking life.
