I'm completely okay with other people not liking me, so long as my client feels she had the support she needed 🤷♀️
One thing you learn very quickly as a newer doula is that sometimes your client needs someone willing to be the “bad guy.”
I’m okay with a provider thinking I’m annoying, difficult, bitchy, or asking too many questions if it means my client feels heard, represented, and supported.
Because 99% of the time, I’m not speaking for myself. I’m simply repeating and amplifying my client’s voice. That is literally my job.
None of it is personal. Birth is vulnerable, emotional, intense, and high stakes. My priority will always be making sure my client never feels alone in the room
