Dr. Shermnae

Lately, I’ve been asking myself a hard question:
What’s the cost of constantly pouring out…when no one’s pouring back in?

And the answer I got was simple: too much.

So right now, my priority is me.
My peace. My health. My stability.

I’m allowed to rest.
I’m allowed to stop giving away my energy.
I’m allowed to go quiet when the noise stops feeling worth it.

This season is about pulling back, protecting what’s left of my energy, and pouring into the things that actually sustain me.

Hey beautiful souls - I’m Dr. Shermnae, The Destiny Doula™ 💙
This is your corner of the internet to pause, exhale, and remember who you are - beyond the burnout and the busy.

Here, we’ll talk about:
✨ Burnout recovery and nervous system resets
✨ Boundaries, breakthroughs, and building a softer life
✨ Real, unfiltered conversations about what it really takes to heal and thrive

This isn’t just a channel; it’s a space where you can share your wins, your struggles, and your questions. I’ll be posting behind-the-scenes reflections, journaling prompts, and bite-sized tools to help you keep choosing yourself - BEFORE the breakdown.

Drop a 👋🏾 in the comments and let me know:
What brought you here, and what do you most need right now?

Let’s grow this community together. 💗 You are Seen. You are Safe. You are Sovereign™.

You look fine - but you’re not.

Your makeup is done. Your inbox is under control. Your team thinks you’re a machine.

But last night, you cried in the shower so your family wouldn’t hear you.

This was me for years. I wore the mask of the “strong one” - the reliable one - the one who could hold it all together.

But behind the mask?

I was exhausted.
I was snapping at people I loved.
I was waking up every day with a knot in my chest and a pit in my stomach.

And still, I kept showing up. Smiling. Saying, “I’m fine.”

Here’s the truth:
Burnout doesn’t just magically go away.
Your body will FORCE you to stop…
if you won’t CHOOSE to stop yourself.

That’s why I created The Breakthrough Before the Breakdown™ and The Soft Rebirth™ - spaces where women like us can lay the weight down before it crushes us.

This past weekend, I held space for a room full of high-functioning women to do exactly that.

We journaled, we breathed, we told the truth we’d been carrying.
And by the end of three hours, the air felt lighter.

You deserve that too.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign that it’s time to reset, this is it.

My 4-week Soft Rebirth™ program is open now.
Use code BREAKTHROUGH to join at the special event rate through tonight at midnight.

You don’t have to wait until your body screams at you.
You can choose your breakthrough now.

If you’ve noticed I’ve been quieter than usual, it’s because I’ve been in creation mode.

Sometimes the real work doesn’t look like posts; it looks like spreadsheets, drafts, and strategy that no one sees until it’s ready to serve.

Momentum isn’t lost just because you pause to build. It’s multiplying in the background.

Stay tuned, the next wave is coming.

Do you ever feel like your quiet seasons are actually your most productive?

🗣️ A PSA from your friendly kid’s dentist/Destiny Doula™ (yes, pearls and all):

I know emotions are high after hearing about a child’s sedation issue at the dentist, and rightfully so — no parent ever wants to imagine something going wrong with their baby. But I need to say this LOUD and CLEAR:

PLEASE… let’s NOT normalize advice like:

“They’re baby teeth. Just let them fall out.”

Here’s why that’s dangerous:

Baby teeth don’t just fall out painlessly when they’re infected. They can become severely decayed. They can abscess. They can spread dangerous infections to a child’s brain, heart, or bloodstream. And yes… it can become FATAL. (RIP Deamonte Driver)

Dental treatment isn’t cosmetic. It’s not optional. It’s CRITICAL CARE.

And yes, sometimes that care has to happen under sedation — just like any other surgical procedure in a hospital. That’s why parents aren’t allowed in the back — the same way you’re not in the OR during your loved one’s surgery. It’s about sterile environments, safety, and reducing distractions for the team working to help your child.

Of course our hearts break for the family involved. But that doesn’t mean we throw out science, safety, or common sense. We don’t know the full medical details, and letting fear cause avoidance is dangerous. Please don’t leave an infected tooth untreated just because it’s “baby teeth.” Some baby molars stay in a child’s mouth until they’re 12 or 13 years old. That’s a LONG TIME to risk a hidden infection.

If you’re confused, scared, or unsure what to do — talk to your pediatric dentist. Ask all the questions. Advocate. But please don’t opt for silence, avoidance, or TikTok “tips” over real medical guidance.

Because prevention costs far less — emotionally and physically — than the consequences. Your child deserves full, safe care.

With love,
Dr. Shermnae
Dentist. Destiny Doula™.
Here to help you protect the life you’re raising.

I posted this today and couldn’t stop thinking about it:

“This is what healing can look like.”
Soft. Sovereign. Finally safe.

That photo? It wasn’t posed.
It wasn’t curated.
It was a moment — one where I wasn’t performing. I wasn’t trying to look strong.
I was just… me.

And for the first time in a long time, showing up like this — sharing my truth, building this brand, offering my work — it doesn’t feel like pressure.
It feels like freedom.

I may not be where I want to be just yet, but I know I’m on the way.
My presence is being felt.
And the more I post, the more I create, the more I share — the more I align.

It’s already done. I’m just tuning in to the frequency.

So if you’re a high-functioning woman who’s tired of pretending to be okay…
Come be soft with me.

A new card, a new season —
but the same sacred mission.

Helping high-functioning women birth the lives they forgot they deserved.
Holding space for your rebirth.
For your becoming.
For the version of you that’s always been whispering:

“There’s more for me than this.”

The rebirth continues. ✨ If you’ve been carrying worlds in silence, my space is for you.

💫 Today is my birthday. 🥳

My rebirth day.

The day God, the universe, my ancestors all decided the world needed me — to weave my soul into this timeline, into this body, into this season.

But it hits different this year. Because truthfully, there was a time not that long ago when I didn’t plan to still be here.

There was a time my mind was so clouded by exhaustion, depression, and the crushing weight of always being “the strong one,” that I nearly chose a checkout date. I was overextended, overworked, overlooked — carrying worlds I was never meant to hold up.

It was my daughter’s face that stopped me. It was God whispering, “Not yet, baby. There’s still more for you.”

So today feels like more than a birthday; it’s a celebration of survival. It’s a gentle honoring of the woman who almost didn’t make it. It’s an embrace of the woman I’ve become — safe, soft, sovereign — who’s learning to be led instead of endlessly pushing.

And it’s a promise to myself:
To keep choosing ease.
To keep allowing myself to be held.
To keep trusting that my destiny is unfolding exactly as it should.

So today, I’m not just blowing out candles and wishing.
I’m actively RECEIVING all the love, abundance, softness, and soul-aligned expansion this next year holds.

And if you’re reading this, know that I’m holding the vision for you, too. May we both live lives that feel as beautiful on the inside as they look on the outside.
May we both remember we’re worthy, simply because we exist.

Thank you for being here with me. 🤍
