Chatty Doulas

A quick, practical rundown of newborn basics, including feeding, sleep, diapering, and umbilical cord care.

An honest look at postpartum mood disorders and the importance of compassion, awareness, and community in recovery.

We’re getting real about the postpartum season because it’s so much more than baby snuggles and sleepless nights. In this episode, we talk about what really happens after birth: bleeding, lactation, healing, nutrition, and how relationships shift in those early weeks. Whether you’re preparing for postpartum or reflecting on your own journey, this one’s for you.

In this episode, we talk about how your mindset can shape your birth experience. From the stories we carry to the thoughts we repeat, the way we think has a direct impact on how our bodies respond in labor. We share why mindset matters, how it can support you, and some simple tools to help you prepare mentally and emotionally for birth.

In this episode, we dive into the fear–tension–pain cycle, a powerful pattern that can shape the way our bodies experience labor. We talk about what it is, how it affects both mind and body, and simple ways to ease it so birth can feel more manageable and supported.

In this episode we break down early labor, what it feels like, how long it might last, and simple comfort and distraction techniques to help you through those first hours.

In this episode we talk about the big question of who to bring into your birthing space. From moms and in-laws to besties and even pets, we share ways to decide who belongs. Your space is sacred, and protecting it is imperative for birth to unfold.

This episode is all about what doula training didn’t prepare us for and the surprises you only discover on the job. We share our own learning curves and offer insights that are just as useful for birthworkers as they are for parents.

Our first episode is short and sweet, just three doulas chatting about who we are, why we’re here, and probably oversharing a little already. Think of it as a coffee date intro before we dive into the real talk.
