Finding your purpose and combating the Black maternal health crisis with Mirror instructor and doula, Rachel Nicks

This week on #MomGoals we have some real talk. We chatted with fitness guru, founding Mirror instructor, doula and Black maternal health advocate Rachel Nicks about how she found her purpose with a vision she had turned into reality. The stars aligned and she created Birth Queen to help other moms during the Black maternal health crisis. She shared some valuable tips on how to advocate for yourself when it comes to maternal health, and how to improve postpartum health—even with the best sex positions, and how moving to the ‘burbs during the pandemic shifted her mindset. She shuts down mom guilt and multitasking, but manages to juggle it all with grace (even her inbox is overflowing).
