If you are wondering if you can even say “yes” to birth work when you have small children, first listen to Part 1 of this 2-part series, then come back!

If you are looking for the nuts & bolts of how to be a doula, childbirth educator, birthkeeper, or midwife as a mama, this episode is for you!

What is it like to take your work home with such a unique job/calling? What does a “freedom lens” or a “creative family economy” mean? Brooke & Lauren discuss these topics in depth, and how that practically looks like in your life.

Brooke & Lauren also discuss what it looks like for birthwork to be seasonal, sharing examples from their own lives. They go through different forms of birthwork that you can start today (even with small children!) that you may have thought doesn’t “count” as birthwork.

How can you begin with the talent & skills God has already put into your hands?

Brooke ends with a prayer for listeners who are wondering & wrestling with the call to birth service while they have small children.
