SUMMARY:Holding Space: An Online Mental Health Circle for Doulas
DESCRIPTION:Holding Space is an inclusive\, online mental health support circle created exclusively for doulas who give deeply and deserve to be held\, too. This dedicated gathering offers a space to pause\, exhale\, and tend to your own emotional and mental well-being—while in community with peers who truly understand the heart and complexity of birth work. \nFacilitated in a nurturing and affirming environment\, Holding Space invites doulas to share openly\, reflect honestly\, and reconnect with themselves beyond the role of caregiver. Together\, we explore the full spectrum of this work—burnout\, grief\, joy\, boundaries\, sustainability\, and everything in between—without judgment or expectation to “be strong.” \nThis circle is not about fixing or performing. It is about being witnessed\, supported\, and reminded that your care matters\, too. \nTime: 7:00-8:30 PM \nDate: Monthly\, Every third-Thursday\nSept 17\, 2026\nOct 15\, 2026\nNov 19\, 2026\nDec 17\, 2026\nJan 21\, 2027\nFeb 18\, 2027\nMar 18\, 2027\nApr 15\, 2027\nMay 20\, 2027\nInvestment: Free for Mama Glow Doulas \n$25.00 for everyone else \n  \nMeet Your Facilitator: Jamilla Jackson Kelly \nAs a wife and boy mom of 2\, Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor\, Birth and Postpartum Doula\, Jamillah Jackson Kelly enjoys supporting others on a variety of life paths.

When we all have room to show up holistically\, we can survive and heal from our worst days and thrive into creating our best days.

SUMMARY:Between Us: Intimacy Through the Fertility Journey - Co-Presented by: RMA New York & LOLA
DESCRIPTION:Between Us: Intimacy Through the Fertility Journey\nCo-Presented by: RMA New York & LOLA\nWednesday\, September 23 | 6:30–8:00 PM ET | Virtual \nFertility treatment can transform the way people experience their bodies\, relationships\, desire\, and sex. What once felt spontaneous or intimate can begin to feel scheduled\, clinical\, or closely tied to reproduction. “Between Us: Intimacy Through the Fertility Journey” is a virtual gathering centered on the emotional\, relational\, and sexual realities of moving through IVF and fertility care. \nFertility treatment is never only clinical. The experience can shape body image\, communication\, pleasure\, pelvic health\, partnership dynamics\, and the ways people relate to intimacy throughout the process. Between Us brings together leaders across reproductive medicine\, pelvic health\, sexual wellness\, and maternal health for an interdisciplinary conversation about what it takes to remain connected to yourself and to your partner while navigating fertility treatment. Together\, we’ll explore intimacy across the fertility journey: from the pressures of timed sex and medical intervention to changes in desire\, physical comfort\, emotional wellbeing\, communication\, and the possibility of reconnecting with pleasure beyond reproduction. \nWhat We’ll Explore: \n\nHow IVF and fertility treatment can affect sex\, desire\, and intimacy\nWhat happens when sex becomes scheduled\, medicalized\, or closely tied to conception\nChanges in body image\, identity\, and confidence throughout treatment\nPelvic health\, physical discomfort\, and sexual wellbeing\nCommunicating with a partner through stress\, uncertainty\, and treatment\nReconnecting with pleasure when reproduction has taken center stage\nThe role of emotional and relational support throughout the fertility journey\nHow individuals and couples can create space for intimacy that is not defined by fertility outcomes\n\nWe Will Be Joined By: \nDr. Tia Jackson-Bey\, MD\, MPH – Reproductive Endocrinology & Infertility Specialist\, RMA New York \nKimberly Huggins\, LCSW\, M.Ed.\, MPH\, PMH-C – Co-Founder\, KIMBRITIVE \nIsa Herrera\, MSPT\, CSCS – Founder\, PelvicPainRelief.com \nLatham Thomas – Founder\, Mama Glow
