In this episode I invite you to step behind the scenes and get an intimate look at the podcast and at my life as an entrepreneur. Aside from the polished and bubbly look you get to enjoy in my episodes, what else is brewing in my particular fire? What ingredients do I mix to prepare my signature "Wise Doula Podcast" sauce? Although it might seem glamorous, there is a lot of life and emotions happening around being your own boss. There's fear and doubt but also a lot of joy, and I think that is worth sharing with you, my listeners. How about you step inside and I tell you all about it?

In this week's episode, join me for a fun time and a good bit of storytelling, as I share with you my adventures attending a content creation festival for the first time. It was a physical journey but also a journey in my mind. I am not kidding, I almost told myself that I didn't belong there but in the end I told myself a big, resounding yes. I think all of us have that moment of doubt when we are about to tackle something new and scary. And many times we abandon ship before trying. But what if, we tell ourselves to try it anyway? I could have said no but I said a big yes. It was a really unique experience with lots of moments and tiny lightbulbs here and there. And I love to share with you the lessons and the pearls I discovered about life and business in this episode.

Get comfortable, grab your favorite drink and join me inside.

My guest today is Jill Kottmeier, registered nurse and thanatologist. Jill is the director of Well-being and Bereavement Services at Endeavor Health Northwest Community Hospital in Illinois. For more than 2 decades, Jill has been supporting families at her hospital and accompanying them through the difficult process of having to say goodbye to their baby too soon. Her mission is two-fold, to support parents experiencing the loss of their baby and to support hospital staff so they can better care for families going through loss. This is a support that starts as soon as they get the news that their baby is not alive, but continues well after families have left the hospital.

It is an honor to have her on the podcast today, and hear all the insights that she’s gonna bring to us, the learning experiences and the wisdom accumulated while working with hundreds of babies and families at their most difficult time. It is my hope that this interview gives you a deeper inside into the world of perinatal loss, and gives you effective tools on how to nurture and support family, friends or clients going through this experience.
