Happy World Doula Week to all of the amazing doulas in our community!

Excerpt from Essence Magazine:

“Somebody once told me, when it comes to work and life, you’ll learn to juggle your whole life, but then somehow there’s a moment when you realize some of those balls are rubber and others are glass and you can’t drop the glass. And, for me, between menopause and almost dying in childbirth, it became clear that they’re my glass, and they won’t drop.But mama is glass, too. Coates knows how important it is to also cater to her own needs in order to be able to properly love on her children and juggle a show here, a documentary there, a book in between."

- How are you currently balancing your career and parenting?
- In Coates' analogy, what things in your life represent glass?
