How do we prevent birth worker burnout?

This is one of the great topics we dive into this week with Martha Lerner, birth doula and photographer. 

Martha shares her wisdom with us around the following topics:

  • some of Martha’s memorable moments from home births she’s attended in the birth worker role
  • tips for those who want to get into birth work
  • best practices for staying in birthwork long term
  • how to balance/manage all the space holding as a birth worker and what the birth community collectively can do to support the birth workers out there
