So here it is, the big next step: @birthingwithmolly

I’ve been considering a lot in the past few months about what’s important to me, what I want from my life, how I see myself living. Through intense introspection, I came up with a few things I’m certain of. + I want to connect with and support people.
+ I want to use my ability to be comfortable with the uncomfortable moments, for something good.
+ I want to make my own schedule and have flexibility to stay home with little ones when my life takes a turn in that direction.
+ I want to find a powerful, impactful avenue for pro bono work.

After several months of studying and training, I recently completed my foundational doula course, a program that taught me the ways to emotional, physically, educationally, and spiritually support a someone at their most raw moment. I plan to continue my education, specializing in postpartum care and lactation counseling.

For the first time in my life, I don’t have a 10-year or 5-year or even 1-year plan. I’m stepping blindly, trusting what feels right in the moment instead of over analyzing and coming up with several “worst case scenarios”. I’m trusting me.
I couldn’t be more excited and humbled with the opportunity. Thank you to my friends and family who, when I shared this, immediately said “That’s perfect for you.” Thank you for your unwavering support.

Thank you to @carriagehousebirth, @doulabliss, and @metoodoula, for all the knowledge you shared with me. And thank you to future parents who include me in this life changing moment.

I cannot wait for what’s to come. —
