Ep 53: You Don't Have to Smile

Preparing For Pregnancy After Loss

You don't have to smile. You don't.

I've been sitting with what it would be like to have a world where we can each show up with all the emotions that are present with us—showing up with the grief, the regret, the fear, the frustration—without feeling the need to "fix" yourself or those emotions before being in the room again.

This episode explores the cultural patterns that train us into smiling for the camera even when we don't feel like it and dreams up a new way of being with the emotions that are authentic in each moment.

If you enjoy today's episode, please share the love with someone who might find it useful as well.

More About Me:

I am a Resilience Coach, Birth Doula, and Emotional Healing Guide, walking alongside women and femmes like you who’ve experienced womb-related loss, such as infertility, a pregnancy loss, infant loss, or a traumatic pregnancy.

I provide support in releasing grief, shame, guilt and other heavy emotions; in restoring trust in your body; and reconnecting to your sense of wholeness—whether you’re working towards your next pregnancy or your personal Rebirth. I've been recognized by the Borough of Brooklyn, New York for supporting families who've experienced pregnancy and infant loss and have the honor of being a confidante, cheerleader, guide, and space-holder for beautiful beings like you across the world.

I was born on the island of Jamaica, where I credit my love for nature, music, dancing, and belly laughs as medicine! This healing work for me is sacred, a soul-calling...and it truly is a gift to weave and be woven in this incredible tapestry with you.
