E111: Why I Love Being A Doula

Send us Fan Mail

We share an unscripted reflection on why doula work still moves us after thousands of births, from client connection to teamwork with nurses and midwives. The talk traces a path from personal beginnings to professional neutrality, and why value often lives beyond metrics.

• shifting from personal lens to professional neutrality
• building trust with clients across many styles of birth
• supporting partners with practical, tailored involvement
• finding community with doulas and birth workers
• witnessing human strength, fear and triumph in labor
• collaborating with nurses, midwives and physicians
• balancing awe for the body with hard realities
• making sense of value beyond outcomes and fees
• short vs long labors and staying adaptable
• widening purpose from one family to many

Oh, and please make a human connection. Hug someone, handshake someone, text someone, message them, ping them, make a connection with someone else. It is important. We need each other.
