Hi Reader, I used to wonder about those retirees who become Walmart greeters. Was their social security check not enough? Were they bored at home? Did they just want to be around other people? After all, it doesn’t seem so bad to get paid to simply wave to people, even if it’s about as prestigious as the job they started with as a teenager. Maybe it’s one of life’s “full circle” moments…like the one I’m going through right now. I told you all that I recently started a new job. I haven’t had a...

Hi Reader, Yesterday, we enjoyed a glorious sunny and 80° day. This morning, it's 56° and raining. This is what life is like in the Pacific Northwest, where it won’t really be summer until after Fourth of July. As someone who absolutely adores the sun and warmth, here are some of the things I’ve done over the years to pretend it’s summer in May: 🌞 When I was a kid, as soon as the first sunny day took the chill out of the air, I’d pull on a tank top and shorts, toss off my shoes, and run...

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. But since the advent of the internet and social media—where everyone and anyone can instantly create something and post it as fact— the impact of lies has been widespread. When I was studying world history in junior high, I was fascinated by propaganda. My textbook showed images of buildings in China plastered...

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. In fact, as soon as you saw the word, you may have been tempted to close this email. "I don’t have time for self care." "I already do self care." "Self care is only for the privileged." We have been conditioned to believe those ideas but all they do is continue to keep us overwhelmed and depressed. So here’s what I want you to...
