A Conversation in The Circle

Amy Season 1 Episode 7

This episode isn’t about arriving at tidy conclusions. It’s about sitting together.

In A Conversation in the Circle, Amy and Delanie gather with four doulas from the Collaborative Doula Collective, Emily, Daphne, Taylor, and Halle, for a grounded, honest conversation rooted in community, connection, and collaboration. Christina sits this one out, making space for a different constellation of voices to come forward.

Guided gently by the board game Where Should We Begin? At Work by Esther Perel, the conversation unfolds with curiosity rather than certainty. We reflect on what it feels like to be held by our peers, to show up imperfectly, and to name the often invisible work that happens behind the scenes of care work and community building.

We talk about slowing down, listening deeply, and choosing collaboration even when it’s tender or messy. This episode is a reminder that community isn’t just something we talk about, it’s something we practice, again and again.

Pull up a chair. There’s room for you here.
