056: Own Your Glow with Latham Thomas

Are you leading the life that you dream of? So many people struggle to fully connect with and live out their life's purpose. In this episode, I brought on Latham Thomas, author and doula who aims to improve the labor and delivery experience for mothers. Latham and I chat about learning to trust yourself for guidance toward your purpose (and supporting your kids by letting them use their own guidance). She talks about the importance of having undisturbed time with yourself regularly and why you need to gift yourself with "glow getaways". We also chat about how to tap into your creativity, what she does as a doula and how she helps other doulas within their work.
