"Unsteady" by X Ambassadors

2.) What's the craziest thing you've ever done?

I eloped right out of college! We were going to do the full wedding thing a few months later, but it just started getting bigger and more expensive, and we'd always wanted something simple and intimate. Also one of the best things I've ever done!

3.) What is your biggest fear?

Heights and anything with more than 6 legs.

4.) What did you want to be when you were little?

A writer. I'll never really give that up, and a life as a doula and a writer would be my dream!

5.) What makes you laugh the most?

Rambling, hilarious stories made up on the spot.

6.) What makes you a great doula?

I had my husband answer this one: "Her deep and compassionate spirit, full of strength and tenderness, abundant with love and eager to serve.

7.) If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would you do?

Go on an in-depth ghost tour/hunt! Hands down.

8.) If you could master one skill you don't have right now, what would it be?

Is "finding the motivation to actually exercise" a skill?

9.) What's your favorite tv show or shows?

Oh my goodness, this is difficult. Charmed, Doctor Who, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Murder: She Wrote, Sherlock...

10.) What is the best part of your job or training?

That regardless of religion or lack thereof, birth is and should be a deeply spiritual, beautiful, and empowering experience.
