In this International Women’s Day edition of Hot Wombs & Cool Minds, we spotlight two women whose work centres care, presence, and representation. Doula Trusha Solankee shares reflections on supporting families through birth and early parenthood, while photographer Leesha Williams, founder of ONYX Branding Co. and Kindred by Leesha, explores creativity, identity, and the importance of being truly seen.

A love letter to mothers in the thick of it — you’re already enough, messy, magical, and rising. Stop being so hard on yourself and start seeing the woman you’re becoming.

Find out why more mums — from first-timers to those recovering from birth trauma — are choosing doulas for smarter, soulful support during pregnancy and postpartum.
