Episode 19: Questions New Doulas Ask, the ABC Expo, and Changing Policy

Episode Summary

This is a road trip episode. Robin and Hillary are on the way to the Grand Canyon and decided to record while they had each other’s full attention, which means the laughs are real and the tangents earn their keep.

We cover the questions new doulas ask about life as a doula, what we picked up at the ABC Expo in Las Vegas, what changing policy actually looks like from the inside, and a stretch on triage and the doula’s role inside that piece of the labor unit. Practical answers to questions newer doulas tend to ask in private but rarely out loud.

Good listen for newer doulas, and for anyone who has wanted to hear what we sound like when we are not trying to sound polished.
