Ever wondered what a postpartum doula actually does—and how they can make early motherhood easier?

In this episode, I sit down with Kristin Revere, founder of Gold Coast Doulas, co-author of Supported: Your Guide to Birth and Baby, and host of Ask the Doulas. Kristin shares what doulas do (beyond labor support), the difference between birth and postpartum doulas, and how they provide emotional, physical, and educational care for new moms.

We cover what to expect when hiring a doula, how to find one in your area, and even ways families can budget or use employer benefits to make postpartum support more accessible.

If you’re preparing for birth—or in the thick of postpartum life—this conversation will help you feel seen, supported, and better equipped for the journey ahead.

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
