WHEW, y’all have no idea!

I quit my job three years ago and had no idea what was next. We had just gotten a bonus, the day we got it was my last day there, I hated it that much. And these past three years have been stretched wayyyyyy thin….somebody told me while I was out here fighting for Black mamas and babies I needed to be fighting for me and my then only child. We’ve survived these past 2.5 yrs on 1.25 incomes (lil hint, I was the .25), and there’s been plenty of times where I was 👌🏾 close to going back to a 9-5. A few things kept me from doing that, plus I just knew that there was a unicorn of a position out in the universe just waiting on me. I applied for what I thought was it last year and didn’t get it….then, this was one came about.

Let me be very clear, I worked my ass off for this here. Even when I didn’t know what I was working toward the universe was curating this especially for me, no nepotism was at play here folks. I interviewed the first time, felt good about it, waited for the second interview, got anxious, scheduled the second interview, procrastinated preparing for it cause you know…imposter syndrome, did my MF THANG in the second interview and felt good asf about it, waited, got nervous as hell a few days before I was supposed to find out, worried one of my friends ear off about how nervous I was and shed a few tears when my dream came true. LITERALLY…

This here is three years in the making…a blessing to me, a blessing to my family, and a blessing to the community! And guess what, it’s only the beginning! I’m so honored to carry out this heart work with such a beautiful and authentic person, y’all stay tuned for this magic that’s about to happen ✨

FYI: I woke up out my sleep to write this at 3:17am, so y’all know it’s real.

Anyway, this long asf. Thanks for coming to my TYRE Talk.

FUN FACT FRIDAY ABOUT MILK-MAKING. Did you know you grow more milk-making cells in your breasts with each pregnancy? So the more pregnancies you have, the more grapes (erhm.. I mean milk-making cells) you’ll have! 🍇
Were you a first time mom struggling with milk supply like me? I don’t think a day went by where I didn’t think about ways to at least keep up my supply.
Second time around? A BOUNTIFUL supply! Now there are many factors for this, but one is because the hormone changes that you go through in pregnancy help your body make more milk-making cells. So in addition to the ones you had from your last pregnancy, you’ll have some more!
Pretty neat huh? So if your breastfeeding journey didn’t work out the way you wanted to your first time, it likely won’t be the same the second time around (for many reasons, having more milk-making cells being one of them!) 🙌🏻
I’ll have way more information like this on my website, where the launch is coming in March. Be the first to know! Link in the bio or go to breastfeedingdietitian.com 🤱

Each and every birth I attend hold a special place in my heart

Then there are some that just elevate you to another level in your practice

This was one of those experiences for me

I witnessed such strength and resilience that I am still in awe of how powerful this Mama is

Things changed a bit from what her initial plan was

But that’s the thing with plans right, they’re bound to evolve

And even when it doesn’t unravel exactly how we expect

We can always find solace in the fact that everything is always happening for our greater good

What a marvelous thing to know✨
