Celebrating World Doula Week! 'BRAIN' is a simple acronym that I share with my clients in order to help them sort through their decision-making process and empower them to make informed choices. The BRAIN acronym stands for: benefits, risks, alternatives, intuition, nothing Benefits What are the benefits of making this decision? Risks What are the risks associated with this decision? Alternatives Are there alternatives? If so, what are they? Intuition What does my gut say? Nothing What if I do nothing or wait it out? BRAIN is a tool for life. I use it a lot!!!
