What exactly is a postpartum doula? On this episode of the Learn With Less podcast, Ayelet sits down with Kate Turza, a mother of three, a CAPPA certified postpartum doula, and co-host of the Mom Deconstructed podcast. Kate is passionate about normalizing the postpartum period, creating community to support new families, and pulling back the curtain of what “real” motherhood looks like. We spoke about Kate’s professional background, as well as her personal journey into becoming a doula. We discussed the roles of both the birth doula and postpartum doula (and why families might benefit from each), and we discussed various options for families who are more marginalized or who have fewer resources to pay for needed services like these. Most importantly, we covered Kate’s top tips and resources for families who are hoping to maximize the ways they can conserve energy, take care of themselves and their babies, and try to enjoy those early days and weeks after the arrival of a new baby.
