My sister‘s best friend is pregnant with her second baby, and she had a traumatic first birth experience. She has anxiety around her upcoming July birth. She has been very vocal on my stories, she showed up to one of my workshops, and she is wanting to come to my birth planning workshop this month. I’ve told her that I’m always here for questions or extra support if she needs anything because she has my number, but I’ve never heard anything. But since she showed up to my workshop a couple weeks ago, I’ve been thinking that she could really use some extra support, but I get nervous about selling to people that I know. I talked to my sister about it today, and she said that her friend has actually mentioned to her that she might reach out to me. But my sister also said that she’s the type of person who really procrastinates things and doesn’t think she would start the conversation. But she thinks I should reach out to her. So I’m definitely going to reach out and text her, but I’m not sure what this initial conversation should be. I know it can’t be too open ended but I also don’t want to be too pushy. Suggestions?

Confidence is something I definitely struggle with, but I've been working on it a lot. There is one particular question that always trips me up. When a potential client asks "how many births have you supported?" I'm pretty new to this and have supported only 1 mom so far. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on how to frame it while being honest, but not highlighting the lack of experience.

As we enter quarter 2 (just how?!) I want to cast a vote for the day & time of our weekly coaching call. Vote in the comments by Friday 4/3 and I’ll announce the plan moving forward. Majority rules 😋 Vote either: *Monday 2p EST* OR *Wednesday 12p EST*
