Birthing Purpose 💫 Oct 02, 2023

Show notes

Sometimes, the line of work you’re in, isn’t something you choose; it chooses you. For Shantel, this is her story! Six years ago when she was a military mom and wife, she became the “go-to” person for women that were pregnant. Through her selfless support of other military moms, she later officially became a doula and the rest is history. After a traumatic experience with a client, Tellie decided that she wanted to be more than just support throughout birth, but also provide the high quality, nurturing care that women need during such a sensitive process. Now, as a retired veteran, doula, student midwife, and single mommy of two, Shantel is juggling MANY hats; and doing so gracefully! Take a moment to listen to Shantel’s story. As you get a glimpse into her life and experiences, you’ll learn how they’ve shaped her expertise in the area of purpose work. Through community, her support system, and love for her children, Shantel is able to pursue her dreams as a mother on a mission to succeed! She’s educating herself, and others, and her work does NOT go unnoticed! We say thank you for all that you do, and it was an honor to have you on the show!

Because He Loves Me 🙏🏾🥹 Jul 31, 2023

Show notes

Growth has been the theme of my life lately, and while we believe it to be GRAND work, it’s really GROUND work. It’s been a process, and it’s been painful! However, as I change my perspective in the process I’m realizing that if God didn’t love me, He wouldn’t be preparing me. He’s preparing me to handle all that I’ve been praying for, just as a good Father would! If you’re GROWING through anything in this season, understand that He’s not punishing you, He’s preparing you and it’s because He loves you. Keep going & keep growing!
