Big News from My Heart 🧡

For the last two years, Denise Bolds and I have been quietly manifesting something that feels both necessary and deeply aligned… and today, we finally get to share it.

We are officially co-hosting the Rooted & Rising Birth Work Conference — a small, powerful, joy-filled gathering for birth workers who want to continue this work healthy, grounded, and connected.

Between the two of us, we’ve been in this game for more than two decades. We’ve seen the beauty, the burnout, the brilliance, and the barriers. And we also know what so many of us need in order to keep going:

✨ Community that actually feels like community
✨ Skills and wisdom that deepen your craft
✨ Space to reconnect with your “why”
✨ Joy, rest, and real care
✨ A circle that holds you, too

That’s what Rooted & Rising is.
A joint venture born from experience, intention, and love for this work and the people who do it.

Only 50 seats.
Intimate on purpose.
Atlanta, March 27-29, 2026.

If your spirit has been asking for a place to land, learn, breathe, and rise — we built this for you.

More details and registration here:
RootedRisingBirthWork.com

We can’t wait to welcome you into this space.

We’re Ready. And We’re Saving You a Seat.

Birth work is sacred work — but it can also be isolating, exhausting, and far too often done alone.
So many of us are holding families, holding communities, holding entire systems… while longing for a space that can hold us.

Rooted & Rising was created for that exact reason.

This is not just a conference.
It’s a circle.
A gathering of people who want to practice birth work with depth, skill, integrity, and a grounded sense of self.

If you’ve been craving:

🌱 Community that feels like family
🌱 Learning that strengthens your craft — not just your résumé
🌱 Connection that continues long after the event ends
🌱 A room where Black birth workers feel seen, centered, and supported
🌱 A chance to breathe, remember who you are, and realign with your purpose

…then this was built with you in mind.

We’re keeping this intimate — only 50 seats — so every conversation, every workshop, and every moment actually matters.

If you’re ready for a birth worker experience that nourishes you as much as it teaches you…
If you’re ready to gather with people who share your fire and your commitment…
If you’re ready for a space where your brilliance is assumed, not explained…

Then we’d love to welcome you into the room.

Registration is officially open.
Come be part of something rooted, restorative, and rising — together.

💛 Join us in Atlanta.
Join us in community.
Join us in your next chapter.

Positive Reflection:

Despite uncertainties, there are so many rewarding aspects of being a birth worker.

💫 What’s one thing you love about this work that keeps you coming back?

Let’s remind ourselves of the positives that fuel our dedication.

Birth work often demands resilience, especially in uncertain times.

💫 What’s a mantra, quote, or piece of advice that helps you stay motivated and centered when facing challenges?

Let’s lift each other up with words that inspire strength.

Let’s have a some real talk:

💫 What are some of your biggest fears or concerns about the future of birth work and healthcare?

💫 How do you plan to address these concerns in your own practice?

Real Talk Post:

With the recent election behind us, we may see changes on the horizon in healthcare and birth practices across the U.S. Change can be a positive force—especially when improvements are desperately needed—but it can also bring uncertainty, particularly when we think about how inequities may be impacted. Now more than ever, our role as birth workers is critical. ❤️

Let’s stay informed, connected, and ready to advocate for a birth environment that serves all families with equity and compassion. 🔗

Together, we can navigate this evolving landscape and continue to make a difference. 💕
