At 41 weeks and 4 days, Mama was patiently waiting—trusting her body, trusting her baby, and trusting that labor would begin in its own perfect time. But with each passing day, she also knew she was ready. Ready to meet her baby. Ready to feel those first waves of labor and ride them all the way to that sweet moment of birth. So when she chose to opt in for a membrane sweep, she did it on her own terms—fully informed, fully empowered.

And boy, did that sweep work.

It didn’t take long before contractions came in hot—1 to 2 minutes apart and staying that way for 12 hours straight. No slow build, no gradual warm-up… this was a labor that came in strong and never looked back.

And through it all? Call me the Hip Squeeze Queen—because if there’s one thing that got her through those waves of intensity, it was hip squeezes on repeat. I squeezed until my arms felt like jelly, but she never once wavered. No epidural. No Pitocin. Just pure grit, worship music in the background, and a whole lot of calling on Jesus.

It was in the room and in her plan: “Call on Jesus.”
And she did. Over and over again, between contractions, through every decision point. Her voice was steady, her questions thoughtful. She knew what she wanted, and she made space to hear every option, to take in all the information before moving forward. She advocated like a pro—like a woman who knew her power and her purpose.

Pushing took about an hour and a half. And when the time came? Baby didn’t ease into the world—he shot out like a rocket, catching us all a little off guard. He was bigger than expected, strong and beautiful, a perfect reminder that our bodies truly know what they’re doing.

From coworker to friend… to sister… to Mama Bear.
We were family before—but this birth? This sealed it.

I’ll never forget the sound of worship filling the room, the power of her voice through every contraction, or the sheer strength in her eyes as she brought her baby into the world—on her terms, in her power, surrounded by love.

This is the story of a strong mama, a big baby, and the sacred bond we’ll carry forever.

🥹🥹🩵 Welcome Baby Boy

I had the absolute honor of walking alongside a sister-friend through one of the most powerful weeks of her life. We’ve known each other since our college days—she’s my soror, and someone I’ve always admired for her strength and authenticity. So when she asked me to support her birth journey, I was deeply moved. To be chosen for this moment wasn’t just a role—it was a blessing.

For a full week, we were on a mission: get baby Earthside. Her body was showing signs—contractions would come, then fade. We tried everything to get labor to kick into gear: walking, curb-walking, bouncing on the ball, resting, eating nourishing foods, stretching, spicy food—you name it. Her spirit was patient, but determined. Unwavering.

Her cervix stayed high, which made things a little more complicated. Every time we’d get hopeful, we’d be reminded that birth works on its own time. But she never lost faith—just kept showing up for her body and her baby, day after day. I witnessed her dig so deep into herself, even when the uncertainty got heavy.

When it was finally time to head to the hospital, she carried that same quiet strength with her. Contractions intensified. The room grew quiet. She grounded herself in her breath, in her body, and in the trust she had in the process. She breathed her baby down with so much grace and power—it gave me chills with every contraction.

She did amazing. Absolutely amazing.

Watching someone you’ve known since your younger days take control of their birthing journey is emotional in a way that’s hard to explain. To hold space for her transformation—through the laughter, the long nights, the pressure, and the rawness of labor—was one of the most sacred things to have experienced.

Sis, you did that. I couldn’t be prouder of you. 💙🫶🏾💛

On this Juneteenth — Freedom Day — we honor the ancestors who endured, resisted, and survived. June 19, 1865, marked the day the last enslaved Black people in Galveston, Texas were finally told they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.

As a Black woman and founder of The Beating Hart, I hold deep reverence for the Black birthworkers, caregivers, and nannies — past and present — who have always been the backbone of our communities. Their labor, often invisible, has carried generations. Their hands have brought forth life, nurtured families, and held space for healing even in the face of oppression.

Today, we don’t just celebrate freedom. We honor the legacy of care, love, and strength that beats in our hearts — and in the work we do every single day.

To all the strong, gentle, goofy, and fiercely loving dads out there — today’s for you. 💙 Whether you’re changing diapers, telling bedtime stories, or showing up in the everyday moments, your presence matters more than words can say.

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at The Beating Hart ! 🐻

I wasn’t able to attend the 100 Successful Women to Know 2025 event because I was out of town doing the very work God placed on my heart—but wow, what a blessing to receive this. 2 years in a row. 💕

To whoever nominated me, thank you for seeing me. Sometimes in service, we move quietly, not expecting recognition, just trusting we’re planting seeds. This reminded me that nothing done in love goes unseen. 🥹

I give God ALL the glory and stay rooted in the mission: to serve, uplift, and walk with mamas in their most sacred moments. From pregnancy to early childhood development. I’m here. 🌿
