Legacy, Labor, and the Lineage That Made Me

Honoring My Parents as I Birth What’s Next

As May draws to a close, I find myself living at the crossroads of memory and manifestation.

This weekend, I honor the woman who gave me life—my mother, celebrating 75 years on this Earth. Seventy-five years of resilience, laughter, wisdom, sacrifice, and soul. She is the first womb I ever knew. The divine vessel through which I entered this world. Her choices, her prayers, her unconditional love—they laid the foundation for everything I’ve become.

At the same time, I hold space for the sacred memory of my father, who transitioned 28 years ago. Though his physical presence is no longer with me, his spirit is etched into the architecture of my life. My father didn’t just raise me—he rooted me. His voice, his vision, and his values still guide my every move. He gave me legacy, and I’ve been stewarding it ever since.

So here I am—standing between the womb and the wisdom. Between the ones who birthed me and the work I was born to do.

As June rises on the horizon, I am preparing to rebirth my business—The Coochie Coach 2.0. This is more than a launch; it’s a lineage-leveraged legacy. A reintroduction. A reclamation. I’m not just a doula of babies. I’m a Life Doula for women over 35 who are ready to birth books, businesses, breakthroughs, and billion-dollar visions. Women ready to alchemize their pain into purpose, their pleasure into power, their womb wisdom into wealth.

And I do this work deeply aware of where I come from. I come from strength. I come from survival. I come from soul. I was birthed by greatness. I was raised by it. I was shaped in its image. And now, I’m channeling it into everything I offer.

This isn’t just a new chapter. It’s a continuation of a story that started long before me—one written by the hands of my ancestors, inked in labor, love, and liberation.

To my mother, who carried me.
To my father, who continues to carry me.
To the women I serve, who are ready to carry the next era of their lives—

Let this be the season we honor the labor that made us and the legacy we’re here to leave.

May ends with reverence.
June begins with resurrection.
And I am ready.

With womb wisdom and worthiness,

When It’s Time to Pivot: 7 Sacred Tips for Shifting Your Path

1. Pause Before the Pivot
Give yourself a moment to breathe and reflect. Real change starts with presence, not panic.

2. Get Clear on Your ‘Why’
Don’t pivot just to escape — pivot to evolve. Know what you’re running toward, not just away from.

3. Give Yourself Permission to Change
You’re allowed to outgrow people, places, roles, and routines. Choosing yourself is a sacred act.

4. Listen to Your Body
Your nervous system is wise. If something feels heavy, draining, or tight — that’s intel. Trust the signals.

5. Start Small, Shift Big
A pivot doesn’t have to be drastic. A single boundary, a new belief, or a small brave act can realign your whole path.

6. Call in Your Future Self
Visualize the version of you who’s already made the shift. What did she leave behind? What did she lean into?

7. Embrace the Messy Middle
Transitions are rarely clean. Honor the wobble, the doubt, the stretch. You’re not broken — you’re becoming.
