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.

From smart scheduling apps to automated responses, we'll discuss tools that can help you set and maintain healthy boundaries.
