People often ask me why I do this work.
Why I keep saying yes.
Why I still wake up at 2 a.m. to answer a birth call,
why I give up holidays, dinners, sleep, and sometimes pieces of myself for people I may only know for a few months.
The truth is, I don’t always have a logical answer 😅
Because being a doula isn’t something I chose, like a career path or a hobby, it feels more like it chose me.
And of course there are easier ways to make a living.
There are cleaner jobs, quieter schedules, predictable hours.
But to be honest nothing else makes me feel as alive, as grounded, or as profoundly human as birth does and I just can’t imagine going back to the job I had before my doula work.
And you know what? It found me at a moment when I wasn’t even looking, and whispered in my ears, this is exactly where you’re meant to be...
