In this inspiring episode, Stacey sits down with Danyale Washington, founder of Sweet Pea Solutions, postpartum doula trainer with ProDoula, and passionate advocate for families in the early years of parenting. Based just outside of Chicago, Danyale shares how her journey from early childhood educator and nanny evolved into full-spectrum postpartum support — and how her heart for families drives everything she does.

Together, Stacey and Danyale explore:

• The core philosophy behind Danyale’s postpartum support
• How doulas can build confidence in parents without “doing it all”
• What’s actually in a postpartum doula’s tool bag (hint: it’s not diapers)
• Why supporting the dyad (parent + baby) matters most
• How to grow as a doula, support more families, and train the next generation of caregivers

Whether you're a doula, a new parent, or someone passionate about strengthening families, this conversation is full of warmth, wisdom, and practical tools you can carry with you.
