Working out the Kinks with Tash the Doula
My name is Tash and I have many roles in life. I'm a doula. An herbalist. An advocate. I'm also a wife, sister, daughter, aunt, and friend. My goal is to have some real and honest conversations I just want people to know you're not alone. Personally, I went through different situations in life, feeling like I was the only one having bad thoughts, and when I finally started opening up, I realize I was one of many.

Working out the Kinks with Tash the Doula
The Trope of the 'Bad Mom'
Our moms discussed their expectations of parenting versus the reality of parenting. They all agreed that their expectations were not met and that their children had their own personalities, thoughts, processes, and influences.
My sister, Shonda (Abundant Mama), and friend, Brittany discussed the pressures of motherhood and how society sets women up to fail. They shared their experiences of trying to reclaim their identities outside of being a mother, and how they have to take time for themselves to do the things they love. Tonja discussed the difficulty of finding time for self-care as a parent and the importance of having a support system to help with self-care.
