In this final episode of The Slow Postpartum Podcast for 2025, I’m sharing a gentle end-of-year reflection and an update from me. It’s been a longer pause between episodes than I’d planned, and in this conversation, I speak honestly about why. The last few months have been deeply full — caring for mothers and babies back to back — and alongside that, it’s been a year that’s asked a lot emotionally…

In this solo episode, I’m giving you a peek behind the curtain at what I actually do as a postpartum doula.

Come with me through a typical (but never quite the same) day in my life as a postpartum doula here in the…
