Doula Talk Blog & Podcast
Welcome. This is a space for thoughtful guidance, honest conversations, and practical insight for the postpartum period and first year.
Here you’ll find blog posts and podcast episodes that help you make sense of sleep, feeding, recovery, and the emotional load of early parenthood. My goal is not to give you more rules to follow, but to help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface so you can respond with clarity and confidence.
Whether you’re navigating sleep disruptions, feeding challenges, or simply trying to feel more steady in your role as a parent, these resources offer evidence-informed perspective, real-world context, and support you can return to whenever you need it.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

Before the Release: What Parents Need to Know Before Saying Yes (Guest: Carissa Guiley)
If you’ve recently had a baby and feeding has turned into a whole emotional roller coaster, first of all… I’m sending you the biggest, gentlest hug. Because when newborn feeding doesn’t go the way you thought it would, it can shake you to your core. Breastfeeding or bottle feeding is so much more than nutrition. It’s connection. Comfort. Safety. And when something feels “off” but you can’t quite fix it, that pressure builds fast.
So let’s talk about something that comes up constantly in postpartum support: tongue ties. And more importantly… what happens before a tongue tie release.

In fact, many parents find that the postpartum period can be even more challenging than they anticipated. Whether you're a first-time parent or adding a new member to your growing family, the reality of life after birth often comes with unexpected twists and turns.
