Hearing the call

To become a doula

Can I tell you something about becoming a doula? Sometimes the call doesn't sound like a voice telling you what to do. Sometimes it just won't leave you alone.

If becoming a doula keeps coming back into your mind, maybe stop asking yourself whether it's practical for a minute. Ask yourself why you keep coming back to it.

In this episode I discuss the many calls that people get. Maybe one of them is yours? Thy include:

You keep thinking about becoming a doula

You were “the doula” before you knew what a doula was

You can't stop talking about birth

Someone tells you, “You'd make a great doula.” - and it lands differently for you than other things people say

You have your own birth story that propels you

You want work that actually matters

You don't think you're “doula material” even though you feel the draw to the work

You keep finding yourself in rooms where women need support

You feel jealous when someone else says they're becoming a doula

You think it's too late (or too early!)

You think you need to know everything first

The moment you realise this doula thing isn't just an interest

You keep returning to it. You keep researching. You keep imagining yourself doing it. At some point, you have to ask yourself why.
