About this episode
Welcome to our inaugural episode of The Ordinary Doula Podcast.
The launch of this podcast marks a big milestone. Twenty years ago, this October, I formally trained as a doula. Boy oh boy how little I knew this would change my world.
Here are a few things we cover in this episode:
- The history of doulas in the United States.
- The birth of doula trainings.
- My pathway to becoming a doula.
- Comparing a sports team to a birth team.
