After a busy week and a much-needed break, Sarah and I discuss the emotional labour we do as Birth Workers, how that can impact our mental health/wellness, Doula burnout, and how to set healthy boundaries and expectations with our clients and other folks we work with! Included in his conversation:

• How our training brings up our trauma
• Do you need to be emotionally “healed” or trauma free before working with clients?
• Working with clients – The unexpected load of holding space
• Signs and symptoms of burnout
• Strategies for managing emotional labour and stress – Putting your own mask on first

Thanks for listening!
