The Rising Erica Arsenault

Élan Vital, a 20+ year birthing doula and founder of a non-profit maternity consumer advocacy organization, classically trained dancer and Broadway producer, opens a deep discussion on choices in childbirth. Élan helps expectant parents and birth workers consciously prepare for birth and welcomes each new life in the world with respect, humanity and joy. If you are planning to give birth or have given birth and want to process that experience, grab your cup of coffee or tea, and tune in. 

Birth is a "normal" every day thing.

Samantha Irvin and Jennifer Brannen, local Vero Beach mothers and business owners, dive into conversation around navigating the waters of motherhood and doing what works best for each family on a daily basis. There is no right or wrong way, labels are outdated and every mother is a working woman. 

"Can you have it all as a mother? No, but it's fine because there are so many things you don't even like."
