Doula availability is a topic that can cause some anxiety. Being on-call 24/7 is a significant challenge, and adapting to this lifestyle requires careful planning and boundary-setting.

Your phone is an essential lifeline to both your family and your clients. Feeling overwhelmed by the need to be available at a moment's notice is common, but there are effective ways to leverage technology to help you manage this demand. From smart scheduling apps to automated responses, we'll discuss tools that can help you set and maintain healthy boundaries.

We also explore the availability needs of labor doulas versus postpartum doulas, recognizing that each role demands a unique approach. Whether you're navigating the intense on-call nature of labor support or finding a balance in postpartum care, this episode offers practical advice and strategies to help you thrive in your doula practice.

Tune in to gain insights, tips, and support to manage your availability effectively while maintaining your well-being and providing exceptional care to your clients.
