I loved this birth, it truly was magical ✨

Birth Magic ✨☀️

Baby born 3/18 @ 9:48 pm.

After my first solo birth here in Dallas, I was discouraged and fearful of birth. I blamed myself for things out of my control and I felt like maybe being a doula wasn’t for me.....about a year later a wonderful friend .lesh reminded me of my purpose and helped me to find to guide me into my doula-ness.

This birth was everything to me. It helped me to step fully in my strength as a doula and for that I will be forever grateful.

Witnessing this birth was such a breathtaking honor ✨🧡 I am still in the after birth glow and high. Now I can’t wait to take on more and more births!

My job as a doula is to simply remind you of the strength you already have in your own body.

My job is to guide and support you through your birth and to offer a space to feel EVERYTHING ✨

I am eternally grateful the Highest has allowed me to enter those spaces ☀️✨

Imagine a wise woman came to your home during your pregnancy.

Imagine sitting around an open fire, sipping tea with her.

Imagine being guided by her birthing knowledge with stories, poetry and drumming for hours.

And imagine during that conversation, with the flames reflected in her deep, soulful eyes she said, with all her heart and the hearts of her ancestors “I trust in you to birth your baby” as she cupped your stomach in her hands.

How would these words feel inside of your heart? This wise woman having unwavering belief in you, in your power and your strength.

Perhaps you might start to believe it yourself. That you are strong, you are capable, you have everything you need within.

And imagine those emotions and feelings cursing through your veins and reaching your baby. The colossal impact of these beliefs soaring through your baby’s heart.

I didn’t have this wise woman during my pregnancy but oh how I wish I did. How, at times, I wanted so much to sit and celebrate my miracle growing inside my blossoming round belly with another woman who could support me in this rite of passage.

I can be that woman for you, I want to be that woman for you. Let’s sip tea around a fire or in the woods or by the sea. Let’s celebrate the life growing inside of you, and manifest your birth to be everything you want it to be.

I just had to repost this because it is just so essential. It truly is so much more then just nourishment, it’s connection, energy and LOVE.

In those early days of baby feeding there's a lot of pressure to ensure that your baby is getting enough milk and putting on enough weight. But babyfeeding is much more than just nutrition - it enhances our baby's physical and mental well-being too. In those early days it can sometimes feel like you're just a dairy cow feeding your babe continuously, but it's worth remembering that it is also a safe space, a comfort zone and a relaxation trigger as well as a feeding point. It's no wonder they need it a lot when they first enter this world.

Feeding becomes a place of comfort and security. It enhances the bond between child and caregiver - and this is achievable whether you're breastfeeding, chestfeeding or bottle feeding. The key is to ensure that there is lots of skin on skin, lots of closeness and lots of eye contact.

Young babies have pressure points along the front of their bodies and can become irritable if they don't feel this closeness. This can sometimes be interpreted as fussiness or discomfort, but the fix can sometimes be something as simple as holding them closer when they are feeding.

Have any of you had any experiences with this? I'd love to hear your stories!

After an exhausting weekend of alllll the feels. I am reminded that I am deserving of all the things my trauma told me I wasn’t.

If I need to cry for two days, I am deserving of time, space, hugs and love.

If I am in conflict and need time to gather clarity, I am deserving of that time.

Sitting in this and coming back to this constantly helps to ground me into what is REAL versus what is NOT.

I invite you all to challenge your thoughts and replace it with I AM DESERVING.

Something I am learning over and over again is - I do not need to be a perfect person to receive love and compassion from myself and others. By just being me, being human I deserve compassion and grace. And healing is always mine, no matter the circumstance.

Healing is a practice not a destination.

Days like today and yesterday are so hard. Chronic pain and discomfort really weigh so heavily on the mind.
Trying to navigate pain (and the anxiety and mood swings) has been so hard for me. Some days I really want to tear open my body just to be able to escape it. But what really takes the cake on days like today is the shame and desire to be anywhere but here.

I shame myself for not getting my “gains” in fitness.
I shame myself for enjoying bread or chips - an inflammatory food.
I shame myself for not always remembering to take all the supplements and do all the things.
But then when I do all the “things” I still have chronic pain. Orrrr....
I romanticize with the idea if I was “there” versus “here” or did “this” versus “that” everything would be different. And it would be, but there life would be waiting on me.

So here I sit alone but human. Stripping myself of the shame and just feeling all the feelings. Honoring that can not be anywhere but here.

Midday Rinse:

Whenever I feel stagnant or stiff, I like to bring myself to my mat to rinse off that stagnation.

Free, glorious movement that is purely based on sensation is what helps me gather breath back into my body and helps me to release that which does not serve me (stress, anxiety, overthinking).

A plus side - it allows me to tap into MY sexy adoration of self. Movement truly is magic.

Trigger Warning ⚠️

Endometriosis.

Hair is a “mess” but what really is a “mess” when in all honesty it’s just bu****it respectability politics that determines my value based on white colonized and capitalist standards - so f**k that.

So instead here I am sitting in pain waiting for my food to get ready with my messy hair and unwashed face. Breathing through each cramp and wave of nausea. Trying so hard not to lay down right on this bench.

This is what endometriosis does to me. It is way more then some “discomfort.” It’s chronic pain and times of complete disability. Its searing back pain, migraines, nausea, bloating and cramps. Its crying in the fetal position in pain wondering how much longer my body can handle such pain. Its clenching my jaw, forcing myself to get on and “live” life.

Western medicine told me I was weak and pumped me with drugs that made my body worse. White doctors shamed me for my pain and treated me like I was exaggerating my pain. Gave me shots without my consent even accused me of being a drug user. Taking no accountability for institutional racism and stress passed down from my ancestors, r**e and molestation creating waves of changes in my body, eating foods that was accessible to me because of .

But even through all of that I am healing and I am seeing change. I am taking back control of my body that has been passed down from abuser to abuser. I am determining my own fate.

Today I rest and honor the pain and the labor it takes. And I honor my growth even when the pain makes it so hard. No shame, just grace.

Morning Rituals.

As of late I have been feeling disconnected to my body and my life in general. I’ve been hit with some serious blues and frustrations about:

the lack of a job I truly want
hating living in a place that violently oppresses Black womxn
Jealousy of seeing my partner flourish in so many ways, ways in which I am not
Feeling left out and lonely
Missing my family
Feeling distraught because I don’t know how to live for me

And that’s where it hit me - Its all a practice. I can practice putting me first, one day at a time, one decision at a time. My partner is not going to put me first because that is unhealthy so this one is on me. The think I keep circling back to - self- love. Self - is everything.

It took me 26 years to realize that but toxic practices were instilled in me for so long, so it’s going to take a while to change that, but one thing I can guarantee to myself is change will ALWAYS come.

So now I am practicing DAILY self- love. Getting myself hype for me and me only.
Getting turned on and excited about me and me only.
Focusing on pleasure and liberation.

So today - I did yoga and meditation in the n**e and I couldn’t feel more full.

** Trigger Warning**

A young poet.

When I was younger all I wanted to be was a writer, a poet and a expository journalist. I would write almost all day, from the moment I woke up until I went to bed. I would study writers and just completely immerse myself into writing and sit in awe of its beauty. But as time progressed and I got older, my trauma took over. And all my attention went to staying alive.

Just alive, nothing else.

I was a cutter, I battled with an eating disorder, severe depression, and the list goes on and on. I was constantly battling between wanting to die and stay alive. Because when you are young - you don’t realize things will get better. You don’t realize you will grow up and control your own destiny. That you can go therapy, meet an amazing community and FLOURISH. And all the stuff in between is just life and trauma and really bad parenting.

Thank goodness I decided to live.

So now, I am going back to my first love - witting - because I am fully alive. There is no timeline to life, no deadline. So just live with all your being.

Blessings to my ancestors. 🖤
