Oni, an Atlanta-based postpartum doula and single, homeschooling mom to two daughters aged eight and ten reveals her methods for making her non-traditional lifestyle work for her rather than against her. We loved the gentle wisdom and powerful reminders woven into this interview and we hope they resonate just as much with you. 

We delve into concepts such as:

• the importance of veering away from the martyrdom mindset in motherhood
• Oni's abandonment of the feminist movement and her calling to homeschool her two girls
• how single motherhood does not have to pose a barrier to homeschooling and/or your career
• how we women need to lean on our local community in person, not just online, for holistic support
• the delicate balance of setting boundaries and showing up as her authentic self as a postpartum doula while also staying open-minded to clients' varying needs
• the debacle of the night shift as a postpartum doula— does it help or hinder the breastfeeding relationship within the mother-baby dyad?
• how we don't have to and should not try to be everything to everyone when serving clients in our business
• how to know when it's the right time to take an overnight trip without your little one
