What qualities do you think are essential for success?
For me success requires a combo of faith and a dash of naivety. It’s a buddy system – faith is the steady, ‘we got this’ friend, and naivety is the adventurous pal saying, ‘give it a go!’ Faith keeps me on track when things get messy, and naivety is the sidekick pushing me to dive into uncharted waters. It’s not about being clueless but more like keeping that open, curious vibe. And staying confident that things will work out.

The Labour Dept.
I’m thrilled to be part of this campaign. Pregnancy and early parenthood continue to be an under supported group, I founded The Labour Dept to change that. Our Prepped to Parent program not only provides essential information but also builds community for soon to be parents. Equals’ inclusion of The Labour Dept in the campaign underscores the significance of our mission to build confidence and community during this critical time. Thank you for recognizing the importance of supporting individuals through pregnancy and early parenthood. Together, we can make a meaningful impact!
