In this episode, Quay shares some of the struggles she has kept low from social media and many of her friends and family. She mentions financial issues caused by her job, friendship strife, and familial reconnection.

This episode comes five months late in true Quay fashion but as an attempt to get her podcast on the map and in the streets with more episodes, guest speakers, and more consistency.

The research says television isn't our children's friend. The research does not say what works for you and your family. I'm here to talk about that! Choose what works for you and yours and when you're ready, if you're ever ready, I have a list of shows to start with. Make sure you have something close to jot down a few. 

This audible blog post will include ad-libs and real-time comments from the Hibiscus Healing doula herself,  but that keeps it fun and exciting.

Summary of the episode/blog: This blog's intention was to share the list of educational shows I gave to my doula families when they asked.

In my attempts to be an inclusive person, I have decided that I will take the time to create an audible experience for every (almost every) blog post that I publish. That way those who cannot or simply don't want to engage with the written blog can still join in the discussion.

Summary of episode/blog: This blog's inspired by the cultural saying around adulting and parenting being "ghetto" or "the ghetto". I talk slight trash while affirming our experiences and the choice of others to wait. Short, simple, and sweet. 

"Kids say the darnedest things," but what do you say in return? Let's dive into my inner monologue after having a discussion with my six-year-old about his absent father.

This could've been a long conversation and maybe one day, it will be through me, but not tuh-day! This was short, sweet, and definitely not simple, but honest. Chime in.
