Episode 170: Navigating Partner Differences


Listen Later

It is common for partners to have different opinions about pregnancy, birth, or parenting.

These differences can create tension, especially when decisions need to be made. As doulas, we play a vital role in navigating these situations with professionalism and care.

It is important that we equip ourselves with strategies to support both individuals without taking sides. We can more effectively help them communicate by asking questions that invite open communication and help uncover the underlying values or fears behind each perspective.

Understanding where each person is coming from creates space for empathy and problem-solving. Guiding partners toward common ground by encouraging collaboration and fostering mutual respect is critical. By remaining neutral and supportive, doulas can help families approach these challenges as a team rather than opponents.

Join us for a practical conversation on how to maintain balance, build trust, and support healthy communication when clients and their partners see things differently.
