Who am I to walk beside you?

In my sixth month of pregnancy, with no early warning signs, I experienced a stillbirth. That experience sent me on a long journey of exploration - of the body, of womanhood, of what happens to us when we pass through life's biggest gates without anyone truly listening.

Alongside it, my career continued. I'm a product manager - I worked at Facebook and Amazon and mentored product managers at the start of their careers. I still live in both worlds: the structured, fast world of tech, and the birth world, which asks for presence, slowness and listening.

When I trained in B.O.T (Birth Oriented Thinking), I understood what connected all the stops along the way: everywhere I have been - as a private math tutor, mentoring product managers, and now with pregnant women and new mothers - I have had the same ability to listen, to see deep into another person, and to help them find a new strength in themselves.

I'm a mother of four. I crossed the postpartum desert four times, and each time something new was born in me. That is the journey I now walk with other women.
