In this heartfelt and empowering episode of Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies, and the Battle for Sleep, Deb Jimenez—beloved doula, certified sleep coach, and postpartum ride-or-die—dives deep into one of the most underrated tools for new families: monthly doula calls.
Deb pulls back the curtain on what these calls actually look like (spoiler: it’s not a checklist), how they build confidence brick by brick, and why they’re a lifeline for exhausted, overwhelmed, and over-Googled parents in the first year.
Listeners will hear:
- Why support after birth is just as vital as during it
- How monthly check-ins can gently guide families through sleep struggles, feeding questions, and the emotional rollercoaster of new parenthood
- The confidence-boosting power of having someone in your corner who truly gets it
- Real-life examples of what parents talk about on these calls—from baby nap chaos to partner dynamics to that working-parent guilt
- A call to ditch the Pinterest-perfect expectations and embrace real, human connection
Deb reminds listeners that it truly does take a village—but in today’s world, sometimes that village looks like a recurring Zoom call with your favorite doula. And that’s more than okay—it’s powerful.
