In this episode of HER Side of the Story, we’re getting real about what it looks like to uplift yourself by finally stepping out of your delusional girl era. We’ve all had moments where we convinced ourselves things would magically fall into place — the relationship would fix itself, the job would suddenly feel fulfilling, the habits would “kick in” on Monday. But life isn’t an Easy-Bake Oven, and nothing transforms just because we hope it will.

Today, we’re breaking down how to reconnect with reality in a loving, honest, and empowered way. From calling yourself out gently, to rebuilding self-trust, to getting aligned with who you actually want to be — this episode gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward with intention, not illusion.

If you’re ready to stop glazing over red flags, stop romanticizing struggle, and start showing up for the real you, this conversation is your wake-up call — delivered with compassion, humor, and of course, HER perspective.

Birth is more than a moment—it’s a journey. And in this episode, we explore the hands and hearts that help guide it. We're joined by the amazing Leah Hairston, founder of Sweet Bee Services, who brings both expertise and compassion to every birth space she enters.

Leah is a certified birth and postpartum doula, lactation counselor, and fierce advocate for maternal wellness—especially for women of color. With years of experience serving families during their most intimate and transformative moments, she’s built her practice on nurturing, educating, and empowering birthing people through every phase of their journey.

Together, we explore:

• What exactly is a doula and what role do they play in the birth experience?
• The critical importance of having support during labor, delivery, and postpartum.
• The shocking statistics surrounding maternal mortality rates for Black women and other women of color—and what we can do about it.
• Why choosing a doula can be a radical act of self-care, advocacy, and survival.

This episode is for every woman who's ever given birth, is preparing to, or simply wants to understand the deeper layers of what birth work truly entails. It's about reclaiming power, restoring trust, and being fully supported—emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
