Going into my fifth year of being a birth doula, I am very proud of this fact. But I also don’t leave it to chance- I track this data and make adjustments as needed. If your booking rate is inconsistent from month to month, it might be time to think about how you’re showing up, where you’re showing up. This what we do inside Spark Mentorship. And you’re welcome here.

Summer hit my nervous system hard. I don’t know about the rest of you, but here, this wasn’t the easiest summer we’ve ever had. A few days ago I was thinking about how burnout shows up in sneaky ways first and remembering what I KNOW I need to do to care for my nervous system when I’m getting there. If you’re new here- hi, I’m Ash. this was me first thing in the morning rambling about nerdy nervous system things because everything I care about- , and - all rely on the nervous system. This is what we do here. I hope you’ll hang out a while 💚

Imagine if every recommendation came with this kind of conversation.
No pressure.
No fear.
No rushing.
Just information, questions, and space to make a decision that feels right for you.
If you’ve ever been told, “We should induce,” what do you wish had been explained better?

The goal has never been to make every parent choose the same birth.
The goal is to help every parent make a decision they understand, feel confident in, and can look back on with peace.
Whether your labor begins spontaneously or your care team recommends an induction, you deserve more than opinions.
You deserve a framework for making the little decisions before you ever have to make one of the biggest decisions of your pregnancy.
If you’ve ever wondered, “My care team is talking induction... now what?” keep an eye out. I think the conversation here is going to change the way parents approach birth.

The comments on my induction post are fascinating.

Because some people immediately wanted to debate whether induction is good or bad.

Meanwhile, over 1,000 moms were busy answering a completely different question.

They were telling us what it felt like.

Interesting, isn’t it?

How quickly birth conversations become about policies, protocols, and opinions…

when moms are still trying to tell us about their actual experience.

I’m listening. I want to know: what do you remember most about your birth?

I asked moms about induction.

I expected opinions.

I got stories.

More than 1,000 comments later, what stands out most isn’t whether someone loved or hated their induction.

It’s how vividly they remember it.

Birth stories don’t expire.

Women shared experiences from decades ago.
Some shared their mothers’ stories.
Some shared stories they may have never had space to tell before.

The biggest lesson?

The same intervention can create completely different experiences.

Because what many moms remember isn’t just what happened.

It’s whether they felt informed.
Supported.
Respected.
Seen.

As a doula, that’s the work that matters to me.

Not telling people what decision to make.

Helping them feel supported while they make it.

I’d love to know:

What do you wish more people understood about your birth experience? 💛

The average pregnant woman receives thousands of pieces of advice before her baby is born.

From providers.

From friends.

From family.

From social media.

From strangers in the grocery store 😅

The problem isn’t a lack of information.

It’s knowing what to do with it.

That’s exactly why I created the Birth Literacy Workbook.

Not to tell you what decisions to make.

Not to convince you to have a certain kind of birth.

But to help you understand your options, clarify your values, and build confidence in your ability to navigate the decisions that come with pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

Because empowered birth doesn’t come from having the “perfect” birth plan.

It comes from understanding what matters to you before you’re trying to make decisions in the middle of labor.

This workbook will help you:

✨ Organize the information coming at you from every direction

✨ Understand the decisions that shape your birth experience

✨ Clarify your preferences before you’re under pressure

✨ Build trust in your own intuition

✨ Become an active participant in your care

My goal has never been to tell women what to think.

My goal is to help them think clearly enough to hear themselves.

That’s Birth Literacy.

Comment LITERACY and I’ll send you the details. 💛
