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.
