Today I’m walking you through the timeline of my business. Because I’m tired of the get-rich-quick schemes and language that are going around. I want you to have context for realistic growth. I’m NOT saying you have to grow like I did, because you could do it a bunch better/faster! But I am saying I want you to have the context of what it took for me to get here to this beautiful 6-figure business place.

Today we are discussing networking! What kind of providers would I want to network with in my doula business? People that I regularly refer to, and want to build network with, are acupuncturists, massage therapists, lactation consultants, chiropractors, pediatricians, nannies, pediatric dentists or ENTs. And then of course, midwives and OBs.

Babies so frequently come in the early hours of the morning. Night time is a favorite labor time for bodies in part because the oxytocin is high and people are relaxed and cozy.

Is this labor? What about now?? Will I know when I’m in labor? How are labor contractions different than Braxton Hicks Contractions? You may have asked one of these questions….or maybe all of these questions! This episode really breaks down the difference between Braxton Hicks or Pre-labor contractions and contractions that get that baby out!
