Join me, Jess, in a heartwarming conversation with my friend and birth education expert, Ashley Cooley, as she narrates her inspiring journey from mental health professional to founder of Birth Baby Sleep. Her story began with a transformative maternity leave experience, leading to the creation of much-needed prenatal classes in Nova Scotia, Canada. Ashley's dedication to supporting parents highlights the incredible growth of her business over nine years, fueled by community demand and a meaningful collaboration with a like-minded public health nurse.

Ashley's genuine experiences inspire a focus on self-acceptance and the magic within each of us. This episode is both an invitation and a celebration—embrace your true self, find strength in shared stories, and join us in uplifting one another on this journey.
