Should you choose online doula training or in person doula training?

It's one of the most common questions aspiring doulas ask, but it might be the wrong question.

In this episode of Hot + Brave, Bianca Sprague explores what actually creates competent, confident doulas and why the quality of your doula certification depends far more on mentorship, community, practice, and reflection than whether you learn in a classroom or on Zoom.

Bianca shares the story of how bebo mia became one of the first organizations to move doula training online, the backlash they received, and what they've learned after training doulas in more than 50 countries.

If you're comparing birth doula training programs, wondering whether online learning is "good enough," or trying to choose the right full spectrum doula certification, this episode will help you know what questions to ask before you invest in your education.

In this episode, we cover:

• Online vs in person doula training
• What makes a high quality doula certification program
• Why mentorship and community matter more than the classroom
• The science of how adults learn best
• Why weekend doula trainings often leave new doulas underprepared
• The benefits of online learning for aspiring birth doulas
• How to choose the right doula training for your learning style and career goals

You're not alone.

In this episode of Hot + Brave, Bianca walks you through the process of becoming a doula, from deciding what type of doula work you're drawn to, to choosing a training program that aligns with your values and prepares you for the realities of supporting families.

Before diving into today's topic, Bianca also shares a recent birth experience that reignited her frustration with the medical system, medical coercion, and why the doula profession deserves better than outdated weekend training models.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why Bianca believes the weekend doula training model is failing both doulas and families
• What "full spectrum doula" actually means
• The differences between fertility, birth, postpartum, and loss doulas
• Why understanding the entire reproductive journey makes you a stronger practitioner, even if you specialize
• How to choose a doula training program that reflects your values
• Why mentorship and ongoing education matter more than collecting certificates
• The four practical steps to becoming a confident, ethical doula
