Hello from a Doula on Vacation!
-
Transcript
Welcome to doula tips and tips. This podcast is a place where we answer one question about doula work, both to support you and to help you support your clients. I'm Kaylee Harrod. I've been supporting families in this perinatal space since my oldest was born, 12, nearly 13 years ago.
I am a birth and postpartum doula childbirth educator, La Leche League leader, and a doula coach. I love guiding and supporting doulas as they work out their doula business. It is a tremendous joy to be trusted in this way.
Thank you for joining us.
on this journey. I almost started this episode by singing I'm leaving on a jet plane because nothing says I was born in the 1980s like that song but you're welcome that I did not sing that not because I'm not an excellent singer but because I have a horse throat right now and I don't need to be singing with this lovely scratchy voice that I have.
So I want to tell you that I am not even in DC right now. I am enjoying vacation with my three beautiful children, my two nieces, my siblings and my parents and I'm not here. This was was recorded and scheduled for your listening pleasure almost a full month ago and that makes me so insanely happy I can't even tell you and what I want to encourage you with today is that your business can look like this too like your business can get to the point of being something that you strategically and intentionally use to live your life the way you want to use it and that is something that I want you to consider.
If your business right now does not feel great it doesn't feel like it's serving you well it doesn't feel like it's giving you the life you want this is your I don't know kick in the butt to change that like change that because this is how life can be lived like you can live life putting out some of the biggest content of your business when you are not even in town while you're literally on vacation right and that is glorious because you know what I know I know that while I am recording this I'm not yet on vacation I'm planning for vacation I am strategizing for vacation but when you listen to this episode I am going to be hanging out with my baby niece hopefully curled up on me likely spitting up on me because that is her favorite thing to do that's the same niece that I got to doula and her sister who I was also her doula and I'm going to be hanging out with my parents and I'm going to be eating delicious food and I'm going to be hiking with them and I'm going to be enjoying the time away knowing that this is coming to you on time just like it should be even though I am not in town and it is glorious it is a lovely beautiful wonderful place to be in that if you had told me even two and a half years ago this is where I would be I would not believe you but I am I am here and it's not because I'm magical it's because I've put in the work I've done the slow grind of getting to this point and you can do that too you can do that too this is not something that is that is special and unique in me it is something that every business can tap into and you have the opportunity to do that and the space and the the desire and the the passion to do it right like you're passionate about serving your people and helping parents know how to navigate the birth space better you can do that on a larger scale in your business in the future and that is something to start considering start thinking about start planning start dreaming about now okay so I just want to say hi from the Pacific Northwest and I want to say I wish you a glorious beginning to July get excited for some awesome content this month we are talking about planning your second half of your year some strategy stuff it was going to be a whole month of guests but that has been pushed to the fall so we're actually going to talk through a lot of business planning stuff strategizing for the next six months in your business and what that can look like and what you want it to look like and evaluating the last six months so we have a sense of where we are and what needs to shift so that we're making intentional steps not just shooting in the dark because we know that's not our thing anymore right um and so that's what you have to look forward to for the rest of July I cannot wait to walk that out with you I'm honestly so excited about it because I think we have some awesome stuff coming so I will see you in the next episode and until then I want you to relax and figure out some ways to make your life easier my friend all right talk soon Thanks for joining us for this episode of the doula tips and tits podcast.
