Beyond the Birth: A Doula & Therapist on Self-Care for Moms of Color
Motherhood is life-changing—but it’s easy to lose yourself in the process. From the constant caretaking to the pressure to "bounce back," many moms, especially women of color, are running on empty.
In a powerful Instagram Live, therapist Shirria McCullough and doula Ste’Keira Shepperson of Triangle Doulas of Color come together for a heart-centered conversation about what moms truly need to feel whole again.
The topic?
Real self-care. Identity. And the importance of having a support system that doesn’t disappear after the baby arrives.
They dive into:
What happens to your identity after becoming a mom
Why culturally competent support is essential for Black moms
The doula’s role in your wellness beyond birth
Common myths about self-care and how to shift your mindset
The importance of building community and reclaiming joy
Whether you’re newly postpartum or years into motherhood, this chat will remind you: you’re still you—and you’re still worthy of care.
