Dearest Doula with Nathalie Saenz
On Dearest Doula we will learn about a host of birth related topics from top professionals in our field, and connect with doulas and other birth workers so they can share their wisdom with you. Our topic based shows are chock-full of knowledge bombs, tips and resources that you can arm yourself with and add to your doula arsenal of awesomeness. Our birth worker features are all near and dear to my heart, and I invite you to let their journey light your path. Listening to their struggles, their “Movie moments”, and their successes can help you to avoid some mistakes, remind you to keep moving forward, and ultimately inspire you to become a better birth worker. Whether you are listening in the comfort of your home, at they gym, or even on your way to or from a birth, Dearest Doula is the podcast that is designed to help you feel connected, educated, and empowered.
