Well, hello interwebs. It's been awhile since I've update my blog and it's time to dust it off. Hopefully everyone out there has been doing well! I've noticed that I'm not the only one that's been on a hiatus as many of the blogs that I followed haven't had an update in several years.
As a recap, before my hiatus I had recently given birth to my second child and was trying to balance being a new mom of two young children. Now, the "new mom of two under two" training wheels are definitely off but of course there's still much to learn as things are ever evolving. My children are now ages 7 and 9. Watching them grow and shift has been nothing short of amazing. Every day they surprise me with their comprehension and compassion. Having this blog to reflect on their younger years is something that I'll never take for granted.
Global pandemic, ad hoc homeschooling, adjusting to working remotely... why not add to the mix! Meaning? I decided to pursue my dream of becoming a birth doula working on my certification through Childbirth International. A great friend of mine inspired me to take the plunge and I've been loving this new journey. I'm documenting this momentous occasion in several ways:
1) Returning to blogging
2) A podcast that I co-host (you can check it out here: https://www.tranquiltouchforwomen.com/massage-doula-birth-blog/doula-2-doula-podcast/)
The website that I linked above belongs to my great friend and mentor, Exie Buehler who is a certified doula and massage therapist. She is WONDERFUL! She embodies all things grace and goodness and I'm so honored that I have her as I take on this new journey.
I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
