Hi I started hashing out my workshop items. I was on the call trying to listen in where I could, but couldn't participate because I was working :) I'm throwing out a couple ideas for each because I'm not sure if it's the hook vs the gap or what stands out more. I also can't tell if they're too harsh. Yet at the same time, as a pp doula I'm so sad when I hear "why did nobody tell me?" Well, there are so many of who want tonshow and tell,but it's getting them to listen. So maybe it's what they need to hear?? Thanks for the feedback and suggestions! Hook Option a Books, classes, birth plan prep...so many things to account for, but what do we really need to know for when baby is here? Option b Your childbirth education class is great, but is it everything you need for the postpartum experience? Reframe: Option a You've taken classes, you have the nursery laid out, you've researched the latest gadgets and gizmos. So you think you're ready to bring home baby? Option b Childbirth is a small piece of the journey, Postpartum is forever. Gap: Option a You don't know what you don't know. But..what if you DID know?! Option b What if instead of scared, you could feel truly prepared? Path: digestible lifestyle adjustments to have in place that eases your transition to parenthood, taking the guesswork out of how am I supposed to juggle all the things and care for a new, tiny human being?

I help sensitive souls go from "juggling all the things" to a space of clarity through my I.(am) C.A.R.E.D.(for) method, so they can have increased awareness to their inner wisdom I.

Aromatherapy: With Aromapoint Therapy sessions and custom blends, plant medicine may offer support and take you from: Tired--energized Brain fog--clarity Anxious and worried--calm and grounded R.

Doula: your mental load is addressed. Looking out for your well-being to ensure you're healing safely, that you're fed and hydrated, and and your daily routine proceeds as smoothly as possible Because when you're cared for, you can tap into your inner wisdom of addressing your needs and that of your baby, improving the postpartum experience.

Hi all! I host a free motherhood collective in my area for new and expecting moms. We meet once a month for a mom walk and then once a month for a mom circle. The walk is more to just get fresh air and get out of the house. The mom circle is more intentional time to open up and talk. I’m struggling how to balance just letting it be a meetup and it being a led discussion. I’m trying to use these to get my name out there to local moms. I haven’t been doing it for very long but so far hasn’t led to any leads. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can better balance this? I worry I’m viewed less as a professional in this space and more just a peer.

Hello, I've had 3 calls for my services lately with them being for my wellness services vs doula, which I'm excited for as that's the part I've wanted to expand. I'm the questionnaire all 3 have checked "exploring other options". I have been following up and this one individual got back to me with this: "Thank you for checking in. No questions as yet. Still mulling over all the things to find that path forward - just a timing challenge. 🫤 Be in touch soon." I've already gone over the cost objections, the cost of letting unresolved issues lingering for too long, and her husband is supportive. She's in a bind because lost job but knows needs to support her nervous system but is nervous financially, which I relate to. But I've even offered her my most basic plan/option at $45/session. Sooooo....Thoughts on next steps? Something else I haven't thought of or another way to overcome the timing? I appreciate the input
