Ep 48 - Navigating the Fourth Trimester: Insights from a Postpartum Doula with Tasha Cofer

I'll never forget the day I brought my daughter home. I was super excited, super scared and really overwhelmed all at once.

Each of us, as Moms, is different and each of our children is different. In my opinion, being  successful as a parent means understanding your ch...

Ep. 27 - What is Love?

I came across the words of Iain S Thomas and it struck a chord. Here is what he wrote: Before your children came, they were told you would love them.

If you ignore them, they will think it is love. If you walk away from them, they will think it is love.  And if you are kind to them, they will think it is love. And if you ar...
