Doulas,
Newsflash: You Rock. Not only do you juggle birth work, business building, and family life, but you look hella good while doing it. You lose sleep, time, and energy in the pursuit of your passion on the reg. You earn.every.dollar. You stay updated. You create valuable content. You tweet, Facebook, and Canva #likeaboss. You have chosen a career path that is both incredibly taxing and incredibly rewarding, and you are awesome at it.
Here’s something I hope you remember amidst all that.
Our community is tiny. With so few of us out to serve so many, choose not to waste those precious resources of time, energy, and emotional well-being targeting each other because of our differences. Choose to rise above the nonsense and spread the good. Focus on growth, love, and success. It takes years to build a reputation, and minutes to break one.
So let’s hear it for the movers and the shakers, the rock stars, the keepers, the sisters, the pros and the newlas.
Have you been doula crushing on an amazing member of our community? Let’s do some #doulacrush shoutouts on social media this week to build each other up and bring back the happy.
“We cannot seek achievement for ourselves and forget about progress and prosperity for our community…Our ambitions must be broad enough to include the aspirations and needs of others, for their sakes and for our own.” — Cesar Chavez
Sincerely,
Dearest Doula
