Welcome to Season 2: Stability Over Perfection — A Gentle Reset for Parents
Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies and the Battle for Sleep
Welcome back to Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies, and the Battle for Sleep!
In this Season 2 opener, Deb invites you into a calmer, more compassionate approach to postpartum life. Instead of chasing perfect sleep, perfect feeding, or perfect routines, this season is all about building steadier ground for you and your baby.
Because parents aren’t struggling due to lack of effort.
They’re struggling because postpartum is a massive transition with far too little support.
In this episode, we talk about:
- the invisible mental load of early parenthood
- why nervous system regulation matters more than perfection
- realistic expectations for newborn sleep and postpartum recovery
- the heart behind Season 2: stability over perfection
This is a season for letting go of shame, softening unrealistic expectations, and remembering that your needs matter too.
You don’t need to do this alone.
You’re already doing incredibly meaningful work.
If this episode supports you: Share it with a parent who needs reassurance or leave a review so more families can find gentle, evidence-informed support.
Looking for deeper help? You’ll find links in the show notes for postpartum doula care, sleep support, and additional resources for the first year.
Take a breath. Relax your shoulders.
You’re welcome here, exactly as you are.
Welcome to Season 2.
Thank you for listening! Tune in next time for more insights and support on your parenting journey.
