Podcast Insights
Content Themes
The podcast covers a range of topics relevant to new and expectant parents, including postpartum recovery, sleep coaching, nutrition during the postpartum period, and the role of doulas.

Doula Talk is a podcast for parents in the real, often messy middle of pregnancy, postpartum, and the first year of parenting.
Hosted by Doula Deb, a birth, postpartum, and sleep doula who has supported families for almost 20 years, this show offers compassionate guidance, honest conversation, and practical support. We talk about birth preparation, postpartum recovery, newborn care, feeding, baby sleep, postpartum anxiety, and the mental and emotional load so many parents carry quietly.
This isn’t about quick fixes or perfect schedules. The guiding idea here is understanding before fixing: figuring out what’s actually happening with your baby and your family before you change anything, so you can build routines that are steady, flexible, and sustainable.
Through solo episodes and conversations with trusted experts, Doula Talk helps you make sense of sleep struggles, feeding questions, recovery, and decision overload, without shame, pressure, or panic.
The podcast is currently on a break, but more than 60 episodes are waiting for you. You don’t need to listen in order. Find the season you’re in and start there. Every episode has a matching blog post, and a guide to the full archive, organized by topic, is on the blog at douladeb.com/blog.
Doula Deb is still working with families on sleep, feeding, and postpartum support. Book a discovery call at douladeb.com/contact.
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 special episode of Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies, and the Battle for Sleep, birth, postpartum, and sleep doula Deb Jimenez shares an announcement: the podcast is taking a break. Nothing dramatic is happening. Deb is simply practicing what she preaches, because none of us have unlimited capacity.
This isn’t goodbye. With more than 60 episodes in the archive, Deb walks you through exactly where to start based on the season you’re in right now, whether you’re pregnant and preparing for birth, in the fourth trimester, working through feeding challenges, trying to make sense of baby sleep, feeling mentally overloaded, navigating postpartum anxiety, or just trying to keep the peace at home at 2 a.m.
Deb also shares what she’s working on while the mic is off: a better-organized resource library built around what you need help with, not the format she happened to create it in.
And while the podcast is pausing, her support for families is not. Deb is still taking consultations for sleep, feeding, postpartum, and those “I don’t even know what to do next” parenting questions.
If you’ve ever Googled baby questions at 2 a.m., this episode will point you to the right place to start.
