Episode 37: Virtual Experience, From Doula Work to Doula Training

Episode Summary

We recorded this one from the comfort of our beds because we were both deep in the virtual work and committed to talking about it honestly. Hillary shares her experience as a birth doula working virtually with clients, and Robin shares the view from training new doulas and teaching childbirth education online.

We talk about what makes virtual work easier than expected, what makes it harder, and what we are each reading to support our mental health while the ground keeps shifting. Less polished than usual on purpose.

Useful for doulas, educators, and trainers who were also winging it that spring, and for anyone wondering how the pivot felt from the inside.
