Mentorship, Shadowing & Peer Support: What Training Alone Can’t Teach Us
This week on the podcast, we’re digging into one of the most important (and sometimes uncomfortable) conversations in the doula world: Why do we spend thousands on training programs, yet hesitate to invest in mentorship, peer support or shadowing?
In our latest episode — “Why Doula Soend Thousands on Trainings But Still Feel Unprepared - And What Really Helps —we’re unpacking:
✨The difference between mentorship, shadowing, and peer support (and why each matters in its own way)
✨Why shadowing is a privilege, not an entitlement
✨How peer support builds resilience and community in this work
✨The entitlement conversation: why expecting free mentorship doesn’t honor the energy doulas give
✨How valuing mentorship and peer connection can transform your practice more than training alone
This one’s honest, thought-provoking, and packed with real talk doulas need to hear,
Because confidence doesn’t come from a certificate—it comes from community, connection, and guidance.
