The Doula Darcy Podcast

When Doing "Nothing" Is Everything: Redefining Postpartum Doula Support


Listen Later

Postpartum doulas often equate their value with how much they do—laundry folded, dishes washed, bottles sterilized. But what if the most meaningful support has nothing to do with physical tasks? In this episode, Darcy challenges the productivity myth and highlights the profound impact of simply being present, listening, and validating a new mom's experience.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why postpartum doulas often undervalue emotional support

  • How our culture ties self-worth to productivity—and how to unlearn it

  • Real client stories that prove presence > performance

  • How to ask the right questions to uncover your client's real needs

  • Why virtual postpartum doula services can be just as impactful

Whether you're a seasoned doula or just getting started, this episode is your reminder that sometimes the most powerful support you can offer is simply showing up with love and presence.
