Hi all! Not sure if this is where I'm supposed to do this or no, but, I'm Angela :) I'm 31, happily married and with a 5 year old daughter who is my life and the reason for everything. I am a birth and postpartum doula as well as a Newborn Care Specialist. My passion lies mostly with newborn care and I feel like that's where I truly shine the most although I ABSOLUTELY love the entire perinatal period altogether!! I am currently making around 5K/month, coming mostly from working with families an agency matches me with. My goal is to start having a lot more private clients, building that clientele, while also working on building something with more flexibility so that I can see income regardless of feeling 100% well physically or not, traveling or not, etc. My "ultimate" (at the moment) goal is to generate 15K so that the we are finally more of a team in our marriage (financially speaking,) and to allow us to comfortably have fun dates and getaways as a couple and awesome trips with our daughter as well as of course :) This is all obviously hand in hand with the fact that I want to make more impact, support more families and TRULY connect with the people who need/want what I have to offer. I currently live in Western Mass but relocating in May to Northern Colorado and struggling a little bit with the thought of "maybe" not having such consistent income at first + positioning myself there. Also struggling with lack of balance as my work is 100% in person and if I don't work for whatever reason (sickness, travel, whatever) then I just don't perceive income and that's really hard. Excited to be here with you all :)
