On today's episode I'm joing with Ariel Ewefada. Ariel Ewefada is the founder of Birth Twin Cities. She is a DONA International certified birth doula, certified lactation counselor, Lamaze certified childbirth educator and placenta encapsulator who has been doing birth work since 2016. She's the queen mom (at least that's what she tells her kids) of a vibrant Mexican-Nigerian-Minnesotan melting pot home in Minneapolis with her husband and 3 hilariously shady children.

In this conversation we talk about her journey into her doula work, the importance of doulas in the birth community and much more.

I don't know who needs to hear this but 2020 needs to see you shine. It needs to hear your beautiful stories and it needs to see your joy.

On today's episode, I share how I felt a little guilty about sharing an inspirational story because 2020 has made it feel strange to talk about joy.

If you only take one thing from this quick episode I hope you take this.... Don't dim your light for anyone!
