The Pragmatic Doulas

This week, Stephanie takes us on a journey of discovery surrounding placenta encapsulation.  How it's done, why people do it, the research and the legal and safety issues surrounding it.  So join us as we tour the placenta, and all its glory. 

This week we are back to full strength and we chat about how many clients one can comfortably take without burning out or disappointing your clients.

Did you miss us? We missed you.  But we are back now with a new flow, awesome new topics, and great guests for the end of 2021. 

This week we will be chatting about our big business fails.  What didn't work for us and hopefully you will learn from our mistakes.  

Remember to rate us and we'd love to hear what business tips and tricks have worked for you.  Especially ones that may be out of the box. 

This week we have one last encore presentation for you.  An episode we did back in May 2019 with our dear friends and supporters Tanicia Reedon and Debbie Alleyne-Elie.  We will be back next week with all brand new episodes and new topics.  We can't wait for you to see the new and improved Pragmatic Doulas. 

This week The Doulas are taking some time to relax and have a good long look at the podcast and make some changes and do some revamping to keep it fresh and fun.  So in the meantime, enjoy this encore presentation of Episode 28 - "As I Creek My Way To The Car" an episode we did back in July 2019 with the incomparable Sam Leeson of BabyREADY.  You can catch her on TikTok as well for lots of great info on birth and pregnancy!!

This week The Doulas have as their special guest, Cheyenne Scarlett, @MotherOfScarlets on Instagram. 

Cheyenne has created a phenomenal workbook, "Deep Dive: A Self Reflection Workbook for Birth Workers" 

"This workbook is designed to help you take a deep dive into your inner thoughts, habits and beliefs.  Birth work is whole person work and how we view ourselves as well as others, can make an impact on how we work with clients."

This week, The Doulas discuss work life balance and how it is impossible to achieve, especially as a doula or a new parent.  Instead we strive for harmony in our life.  How about you? Are you shooting for balance? How's that going for you? 

This week we answer an email from one of our amazing listeners.  Missing Doula Steph, Kim and Suzanne dive into babies in the NICU and babies on schedules and how a doula is to navigate the differences between philosophies.  

This week The Doulas along with Carissa Marks Thomson review the book Expecting Better by Emily Oster.

See what how they feel about this extremely popular birth related book.

This week The Doulas dive into medical consent in the check in and discuss what classes/workshops they have been taking to assist in their birthing business.
