Life as a doula.
Every birth changes me in some way. I always learn.
Often the lessons are unexpected.
A little over three years ago, I attended at birth that I recognize as one of those unexpected yet key experiences that shape a doula.
I still talk with this friend and I mentioned to her that this birth changed me profoundly.
She asked me to explain.
I have to admit that I struggle to put it into words on a page because it was a change in my heart and mind.
So I will make an attempt to put words to how my heart was changed but just know that I’m not sure I can fully capture what I want to express.
