I think that, once you become a parent, that new role bleeds into every other part of your life. It informs your choices, your actions and it is nearly impossible to separate your role as “mom” from every other hat that you wear in your life.
Since I started this podcast and have had the privilege of speaking with all of my amazing guests, I have found that the ties that unite us as mothers transcend race, culture, economic status, geography…there are very real threads that bind us in this exclusive club. And one of those, I am recognizing, is how each of us pulls from our learnings as mothers and feels called to funnel that into our work both the 9 to 5 variety as well as work of the capital W variety.
For today’s guest, Emily, becoming a mother and the first year of motherhood with her infant daughter, sent her on a personal growth journey and down a career path that was never on her radar.
Tune in to today’s episode to hear Emily’s story of how she went from educator to mom to postpartum doula to running her own local doula agency here in Cincinnati and how her experience with postpartum depression was the catalyst that brought her to where she is today.
