The drive: What challenges have you overcome?
I have overcome the challenges of starting a new business from scratch and setting my classes apart from the hospital and doula classes that are out there.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
I love everything about it, but the only con is it is hard to separate work and family and set that time aside for the kids. I definitely need to focus more on putting work away and being 100% present with my family. The pros are that it gives me the flexibility to plan around my family, the ability to constantly change and improve as the research and education changes, and be present for all the kids’ milestones and school days that I wasn’t previously present for.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
I hope to expand One Mama Midwife Antenatal Classes to be in every state in Australia, so all families can have the best quality education for their birth and postpartum period.
