What does it actually take to be available when a client goes into labor at 2 a.m., on a holiday, or three weeks before her due date?

In this episode of Made for Birth, I’m joined by Annie Hill, doula trainer and former homebirth midwife, to talk about the side of doula work most people never see.

We’re getting into the LOGISTICS—being on call, managing family life and childcare, creating backup systems, setting boundaries, structuring your business, and building a life that actually allows you to show up fully for the families you serve.

Because loving birth and wanting to support women is one thing. Building a sustainable career that allows you to keep doing it? That takes a whole different level of intention.

If you’re considering hiring a doula, this conversation will give you a new perspective on everything happening behind the scenes to make that support possible. And if you’re considering becoming a doula—or already doing this work—Annie and I are talking about what it really takes to make doula work sustainable for the long haul.
