How I did it
It made me
Divorced. 
How I did it: Counseling made it seem like we had a very healthy marriage. We were getting along great, having great sex, and relying on each other and giving each other space in a healthy balance. If it weren't for the infidelity, lies, deception, and the subsequent feeling that the whole marriage had been an illusion, I'm quite sure we made it to a place where being married was a joy and not a fight.

Femiphorous! 
How I did it: First, my ovaries released an egg. Then that egg met up with a sperm which had an X chromosome. Next, after the sperm and egg fertilized, it rolled and swooped down my fallopian tube and nestled snugly in my uterus. After much fanfare, growth, and amazing interaction with my body, my daughter was born into her father's hands in water at home to the surprised cheers of family everywhere after more than 20 boys were born i… Read how I did it…

I love my job. I love working with women and families, and I really love seeing the difference between women I’ve worked with and the general population. I own my own business, have as much or as little work as I choose, and I have a huge network of like-minded women whom I’ve worked with over the last few years. Go for it, do it. Make sure you have childcare, and honestly, it is much easier to be a doula if you have had children, and most women like knowing that you’ve been through birth before.
