S1 E07 :: Rachel's Story

Welcome back to Stories from South Place! Today I'm joined by my neighbor and friend, Rachel Sims!

season 1, episode 7.png

Rachel and I met a few years ago when our oldest children were in the same Parents Day Out class! She and her husband, Eric, and two boys, Holcomb and Elliot, live behind us and it's been so fun to raise kids the same ages literally in each other's backyards! On this episode, Rachel and I talk about how fun it is to be neighbors, what we love about our neighborhood, her journey of becoming a doula, and we finish the episode by talking about our absolute most favorite Birmingham consignment sale, Kids Market & Mom!

I do want to be sensitive to anyone who's listening and let you know up front that Rachel and I talk a lot about her business, Dearly Doula, which means we talk quite a bit about pregnancy and birth. I know from experience that there are seasons for me that it was really hard to listen to people talk about pregnancy, and so I want to be upfront that we talk about that topic quite a bit in this episode. If that's a hard conversation for you, I have been there and totally understand! However, we do talk about the different struggles that women walk through, and I hope that if it's difficult subject for you, you'll find some encouragement through knowing you're not alone. 


We only have ONE episode left of the first season of Stories from South Place! After next week, Jason and I will be releasing a mini-series called, Stories from Quarantine! We'll be interviewing people who are a part of different segments that are up a community and find out how they're effected by the COVID-19 quarantine that we're currently under. These episodes will be shorter, about 15-20 minutes, and will be releasing twice per week! If you already subscribe to Stories from South Place, this mini-series will come straight to wherever you listen to podcasts!
