You're Our Taylor Swift
A note from Jordan & Amy-
Well, hi!
This is one of the first blog posts we wrote before we officially launched Indiana Birth & Parenting- way back in 2019! The massive success of The Eras Tour inspired us to make a few updates and add new photos from when we went over the summer!
“I think it’s important that you know that I will never change. But I’ll never stay the same either.”
~Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift. An iconic person with a heart of gold and an impressive fan base ranging from ages 2-102. She’s recognizable wherever she goes which means her private moments are never spontaneous. Every monotonous task must be carefully crafted and executed with precision. Without exception, her life is spent in direct contact with another human being at all times.
She’s never, ever alone.
LIKE EVER.
Thankfully, Taylor Swift knows she needs reinforcements. Back when she was starting out, she hired a team that surrounds her and jumps with her when she falls. A team she trusts. Of course they physically protect her, but like most celebs, Swift also has a team backing her that puts her emotional well-being first. It’s the only way she feels like a normal person amongst the mayhem swirling around her. Her team fosters an environment which allows her to feel like she’s in a peaceful sanctuary of solitude, even when the whole world is watching her every move.
They treat her delicately, in all the best ways.
So what does Taylor Swift have to do with Indiana Birth & Parenting? Over here we’re #TeamTaylor- forever & always. Our goal is for every single one of our clients to feel like they are treated in similar ways Swift’s personal and security teams treat her.
You are our priority.
We care about the people you cherish most.
We anticipate your needs.
We cushion your surroundings so you feel safe amongst the chaos.
We enrich your environment allowing you to flourish at your own pace, and create private space for you when you feel like a crumpled piece of paper lying there.
We know your intimate moments are your own to cherish, not ours.
We respect you and your decisions.
We assist you in filtering out the unsolicited noise when asked.
We hold up the microphone for you so those in the back can hear what you have to say.
When that baby bump starts bumpin’ and pregnancy is obvious, the public (along with those close to you) feel like it’s their duty to share what THEY know and what THEY value about all things baby related. It’s exhausting and overwhelming. It can feel offensive- even when it’s delivered with the best intentions.
This time in your life requires a massive filter for taking in useful information and expelling advice that won’t work for you and your family. We’ve been there ourselves. Running on a hamster wheel of advice and criticism alone isn’t sustainable. Our ability to help you sift through advice is one of our best tools, so lean on us.
As your pregnancy support team, your birth + postpartum doulas, and your parenting confidants, YOU are OUR Taylor Swift. You can trust us- your team. We’ll be there, quietly, always cheering you on and supporting you from the wings when you want to take center stage. And we’ll offer our strong presence when you desire to turn down the noise and focus on your quiet, private moments. We’re masters of being situationally aware. You’re our client, and it’s our privilege and honor to be part of your birth and parenting team.
Your pregnancy is the concert’s opening act.
Your birth is the main event.
Your 4th trimester is the grand finale.
And you can count on the dynamic Indiana Birth & Parenting team showing up for you every step of the way.
