Doula Talk is a podcast for parents navigating the real, often messy middle of postpartum and early parenthood.
Hosted by Doula Deb, a birth, postpartum, and sleep doula with over 15 years of experience, this show offers compassionate guidance, honest conversation, and practical support for the first year and beyond. We talk about postpartum recovery, newborn care, sleep, nervous system regulation, and the emotional load that so many parents carry quietly.
This isn’t about quick fixes or perfect routines. It’s about understanding what’s happening beneath the surface and building steady, supportive foundations that help both parents and babies feel more regulated over time.
Through solo episodes and thoughtful conversations with trusted experts, Doula Talk helps you make sense of sleep struggles, feeding questions, recovery, and the constant mental load of early parenthood, without shame, pressure, or panic.
If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or deep in the exhaustion of caring for a baby, this is a place to slow down, feel less alone, and remember that you’re not doing this wrong.
In this conversation, Deb discusses the complexities of the newborn phase, emphasizing the unpredictability of sleep and feeding patterns. She encourages parents to focus on understanding their baby's rhythms rather than adhering to strict schedules. By recognizing sleepy cues and the dynamic nature of newborn development, parents can reduce stress and foster a more responsive caregiving approach. Deb highlights the importance of flexibility and support during this challenging time, reassuring parents that they are not alone in navigating these early weeks.
