I like to take vacation during the spring, summer, and winter, but honestly there’s never a perfect time to step away from the operations of running a small business — but I do it anyway.

As a small business owner, taking a vacation can feel impossible — there’s always something to do, someone to support, or a “better time” to step away. But the truth is, there’s no perfect moment.

Rest matters. Recharging matters. You matter. No matter when or for how long.

Give yourself permission to pause when needed. Your business will be better for it, and so will you.

When do you like to schedule your vacation? Do you prefer to jet away or stay local?

✨POSTPARTUM TWIN SUPPORT✨

I recently had a conversation with a group of doula colleagues in Ottawa about whether postpartum doulas should charge a higher hourly rate for twin support.

It might be a hot topic, and I may be in the minority, but here’s where I stand:

🤍I don’t believe twin parents should pay more for postpartum care. Families welcoming multiples already face increased expenses — adding an extra fee for doula support simply because they had two (or more) babies at once doesn’t sit right with me.

🤍I believe doula care should be equitable, flexible, and accessible.

🤍At Turquoise Compass Wellness, we do not charge more for twin support. Our rates are our rates — and we’re honoured to support your family exactly as you are.

I’d love to hear your thoughts:

Should doulas charge more for postpartum twin support?

Say hello 👋 to Jae, our newest team member. Turquoise Compass Wellness is growing and thriving with a vibrant community of experienced and compassionate practitioners. It’s an honour to welcome Jae to the team.

Jae Marcella Day, CD, MSP, CRSP, is a birth and postpartum doula who provides lactation support and maternal health support. As a 17-year veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces, Jae brings the same discipline, empathy, and leadership she honed in uniform to her work supporting families through birth and the postpartum journey.

Jae provides trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and family-centered care for parents from all walks of life. Her practice specializes in NICU support, Malay Postpartum Healing, BIPOC family care, birth recovery, and lactation education helping families navigate early parenthood with confidence and compassion.

During her military service, Jae became a groundbreaking advocate for mothers in uniform, leading the implementation of nursing rooms across CAF bases, breast pump coverage, combat nursing shirts, and access to midwifery, pelvic floor therapy, and prenatal/postnatal programs. Her efforts continue to shape national conversations around equitable, family-centered care in the military and beyond.

Today, Jae continues her mission to build villages of support for parents bridging her experiences as a veteran, mother of four, and maternal health professional to ensure no family faces the early days alone. Her work reflects a lifelong commitment to compassion, service, and systems that truly hold mothers and families.

Sometimes you just need to celebrate!

We were gifted a ✨ ✨ bottle of vintage 2010 champagne 🍾 by the buyers of the house we sold in Nova Scotia in 2020. Initial thoughts were… let’s save this for a really special occasion.

5 years later, it was still sitting in our cupboard waiting for that perfect occasion. It was just sitting there, gathering dust, and we were waiting for a “very special” occasion, that would likely never come. How long should we wait for something big worth celebrating?

Over the weekend I had an epiphany — let’s open the bottle and celebrate! Why not? We have so much to celebrate now. Why wait any longer when we can revel in all that we have accomplished thus far. So cheers 🥂 to all that we were, all that we are, and all that’s to come. Let’s celebrate:

✨ Traveling to 34 countries
✨ 15 years since meeting the love of my life
✨ 10 year wedding anniversary
✨ 7 years of doing doula work
✨ 2 successful cycles of IVF
✨ Growing our family to include two little boys
✨ Becoming a mother
✨ 3 years living in Ontario
✨ Corey’s birthday

And so much more. The list could go on and on and on. I have so much to be thankful for. This is a good reminder to not waste another moment, but to celebrate “just because”.

Life isn’t perfect and society conditions us to wait for “what’s next” or to hold off for something better (aka something worth celebrating). Don’t listen.

Life is worth celebrating NOW, for any reason. The big, the small, and the hard moments. For the just because reasons. Just celebrate. You are worth it.

What are you celebrating this week?
