Hi Reader, Okay, to be honest, I’m not in the print magazine and the article isn’t about me, but my name was in People Magazine! It’s an article in their online magazine on May 11, 2025, about celebrities who chose home birth. My celebrity clients, Genevieve & Jared Padalecki, have talked publicly many times about their experiences with home birth, using a midwife, and having a doula (I was their doula for all three of their children). So I wasn’t surprised their story was included in the...

Hi Reader, I was talking with a friend recently about how misinformation has turned our world upside down. Sure, there have always been liars and charlatans, cheaters and fearmongers.

Hi Reader, What is mandatory for doulas and necessary for everyone else? Unfortunately, the word “self care” is so overused and misunderstood that most folks resist it.

Hi Reader, Every May 1, my dad would get up and sing: Hooray, hooray! The first of May! Outdoor screwing starts today! — Vern Dunlap I loved his enthusiasm and cheer (and his unintentional nod to the Beltane ritual) but as a little girl, I was so confused why using screwdrivers outside was such a big deal… Gives me a chuckle every year! 😆 Here’s something you might find confusing… What’s the deal with me and doulas?
