Laura sits down with Erika Matkovich, AKA The Maternal Sidekick, to talk about what she offers as both a labour & birth plus postpartum doula, as well as a photographer. (Hint: She specializes in being a fly on the wall at “normal” everyday events, capturing moments so you can just enjoy yourself and not worry about stopping to take pictures.) They also chat about Erika’s experience with being a surrogate* two times (with a third one possibly in the works). AND, they talk about being the CEOs of their own businesses and how they balance that with being a mom of 3 kids each.
*The information given on surrogacy is purely in Erika’s experience and doesn’t necessarily represent what each person’s individual experience will be.
