Postpartum Doula Diaries - Episode 12 16.11.2025

Postpartum Doula Diaries – Episode 12 Last week was… a lot. We had a 24-hour vomit bug sweep through — thankfully it was just my littlest man — but it still meant a couple of reschedules and a big shift in plans. I went from four visits booked to only two completed, juggling mum life with doula life the best way I could. Behind the scenes, I’ve been getting ready to welcome a new team member (anno...

🎙️ Postpartum Doula Diaries – Episode 8 Balancing Mum Life and Business 💛 This week’s episode is a real-life look behind the scenes — balancing motherhood, work, and the beautiful chaos that comes with both.

Postpartum Doula Diaries - Episode 7 11.10.2025
