It's been about a year...
13 months to be exact.
Hey ya’ll,
It’s been about a year since we have brought Dear Doula to substack. As I have submerged even deeper in my midwifery studies I have learned so much, shared so much and continued to enjoy engaging with birth work community from all over the US. I have really enjoyed this platform and the way it allows me to share. Substack is really becoming a new home for me, as it’s one of the only apps I don’t have a “time limit” set on my phone. It’s refreshing to be able to read something clean, aesthetically pleasing, without ads and without an algorithm. I also really like that those of you who prefer to read via email have that option as well.
What I have noticed is that this conversation has grown past the birth community, and for that I can only be grateful. I truly believe we are all Doulas supporting one another through life; and that a lot of what I share on this platform applies to many people across many intersections. This realization set in as I was also celebrating another year of Ritual Club ✨.
I have been inspired to shift this space to be more all encompassing and to share things that pertain to more aspects of my work, humanity and my creativity. In short, not much is different, except that my soul is settling into becoming a midwife. It truly is an initiation to a lifetime of soul work. I have a couple of different ideas and plans cooking to share more with you, but you’ll have to keep your eyes peeled in 2024.
Although I won’t be addressing doulas specifically and directly, this is a space where I hope to continue to inspire you to take care of yourselves, to step into your wild power, and approach self knowing with curiosity.
If you are curious about different offerings, how things have shifted and how you can shift your engagement with this space, check out the new “about” page.
Looking forward to more + cheers to a new year.
Xo,
Scout
