Todays show is all about advocacy in the birth room. While this episode is the third in our World Doula Week shows, I also don’t want to limit it just to doulas because parents will be using these skills in prenatal appointments and pediatric appointments for years to come! Traci Doula is my guest today, who will also be my guest in October when I host her doula training Keeping Your Power® Advocacy in Action Workshop here in San Diego. I want to mention her 2024 trainings in Denver(May), Spokane(July), Boston & Oregon(Sept), San Diego(Oct) and Calgary in November.

Traci has been in birth work for over 25 years. Our discussion goes into detail about what advocacy is, why many doulas don’t feel comfortable with it and how lack of communication around that with parents can unintentionally be causing harm to the families we serve.

One of the reasons I wanted to host Traci’s training in San Diego is because I know first hand that when doulas have the same background in training, they communicate differently, feel more supported and stay in the work longer and stay mentally healthier. Today’s show has a lot of somethings for everyone!

You can follow @TraciDoula on IG and @TraciDoula4 on Tiktok. And for one on one mentoring or Life Coaching – her website is TraciDoula.com. Sign up and we’ll see her in October!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
