What is mandatory for doulas
|
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 do to really nurture yourself... (If you took advantage of my friend Destiny's 3-Day Self-Care Workshop last week, you’ve already been introduced to her and her upcoming All Access Pass. If you’ve already signed up for her full array of self-care support, you can skip this email.) Destiny just opened the doors to her All-Access Pass for 2025. She's offering ALL her self-care support in one place. You get access to every one of her self-care courses, challenges, and workshops for the year—including:
And it’s just one flat price. Swap one dinner for two for the All-Access Pass and get a feast of self-care support. If you’ve been wanting to take better care of yourself (but don’t know where to start), or have been trying but need more useful tools, this is perfect for you. 👉 Take a peek at the All-Access Pass here I’m seriously impressed by everything inside. So many options to find just the right support + tools to keep your self care going. Here’s to you..and us! Let’s truly take care of ourselves this year. Goodness knows we need it! Carrie P.S. You can also upgrade to Destiny's VIP Studio Membership (access guest trainings, classes, and community events) for only $50 extra! P.P.S. Yes, there are payment plans for regular and VIP options. P.P.P.S. The link to Destiny’s All-Access Pass is an affiliate link. I get a small commission if you sign up using my link. Thanks! |

Hi Reader, You know what to do to prevent getting sick this winter, right? ✔️ Keep warm ✔️ Eat healthy ✔️ Wear a mask around sick people ✔️ Wash your hands frequently Those are relatively easy, well-known precautions. But what do you do to ward off low energy, a dismal mood, or becoming a hermit when the temperatures dip and it’s dark by 4:00pm? The truth is: you already know how to do this. Surviving long nights and cold days is built in your DNA. But modern life—rigid schedules, hectic...
Hi Reader, A lot of my time is spent reading. As a writer, it’s my ethical and professional responsibility to read other writers. Thank goodness I love it. Reading allows me to explore the voices of many writers on multiple platforms. There are folks I follow on Medium and Substack, Facebook, in The Sun magazine, and in books. I learn about the power of the written word from the format they use, their style, phrasing, and the themes they write about. One of the writers I’ve been following for...
Hi Reader, Whenever we roll into October, three things come to my mind: How long can I wait to turn on the heat? (yesterday, it turns out) Did I finish off last year’s Halloween candy yet? (nope, still some Snickers to go!) The season of sun and harvests is coming to an end and the magic of Samhain is near 🌘 (boo and yay!) In honor of the cross-quarter day between the autumn equinox and the winter solstice (Samhain, October 31), and in preparation for the coming months of short days and cold...
