Doulas Of The Roundtable

When thinking about entering birth work, there are many different paths to consider. In this doula byte we discuss the many paths available to supporting growing families, and the considerations that an individual may take when choosing the path that is right for them.

In the birth community there seems to be two sides when it comes to the idea of competition and collaboration. Some believe that collaboration should always trump competition. And others believe that competition is healthy and pushes us to do better. In this Doula Byte we discuss the idea of collaboration over competition and share our ideas, beliefs, and viewpoints on this divided topic.

Welcome to our Doula Byte Session. These mini sessions are snippets of discussions we have behind the scenes. We wanted to give you some insight into the conversations that we have that may or may not result in a full episode, but are a important, controversial or funny none the less. This is the first episode in this mini series and our topic is Birth Bags. There's a lot of discussion amongst doulas about what to pack in their birth bags. We explore why doulas feel the need to carry a birth bag, common items that are carried and explore the idea that clients should be encouraged to build their own bag.

In Episode 0, we explore who we are, why we created this podcast, and a bit of information on our launch episode which will be released on March 22nd 2019! Grab a seat and let us explain why we are so excited to bring this podcast to you!

Welcome to Doulas of the Round Table! We are so glad you are here and we look forward to having you along for the journey. Our podcast was born through a series of late-night talks between two doulas on opposite ends of the experience spectrum. Through a series of discussions while searching for the perfect title for our podcast “Doulas of the Round Table” was born. A play on the Arthurian “knights of the round table concept”. A place where each seat at the table has an equal voice. This is a place for open discussions on the topics that impact us as birth workers. A place where all opinions are equal, knowledge is shared and hard topics are talked about. Our late night chat sessions helped us to discover that we came into this field from two totally different perspectives. As a result, many interesting, inspiring and hard conversations were born. Conversations that we wanted to share and engage in with a larger audience. We are so glad you are here. When you’re ready, pull up your chair and let’s get star
