From Vogue: “‘Our bodies are really the arbiters of safety, and when we’re not safe in the world, being honored in our humanity, or if our basic human needs aren’t being met, then we start to break downâspiritually, emotionally, physically,’ explains Latham Thomas, doula and founder of wellness platform Mama Glow. ‘The only pathway to move forward and stay strong is to be gentle with yourself and become acquainted with your vulnerabilities. For us to be able to do this work constantly and show up, we have to take care of ourselves, and how we do that is so hinged on us being able to have access and tools for self care.'”
