  • I’ve never been into podcast but I love this podcast & am thankful I stumbled upon it.

    I stumbled upon this podcast during postpartum after having my baby & falling completely in love with all things pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. I am an aspiring doula & have been encouraged by these tips offered on this podcast. I love listening & cannot wait for the next episode.

  • The Reason I Am Still Going!

    Wow! This podcast is hands down the only reason I am still motivated to continue working on my business. I just quit my 9-5 job to stay home with my kids and I’ve been freaking out. This show has given me the information and motivation I need to get my holistic nutrition and doula business off the ground and to really run with it. The information provided is unreal. THANK YOU

  • Love it!

    This podcast goes over so many things that I hadn’t even begun to think about when I became a birth doula. It’s so helpful to have access to so much information when just starting out. Excited to implement a lot of these ideas and suggestions with my own small business to grow!
