Inside this episode I spill the tea on 5 of the clauses that I see or hear about doulas adding to their contracts that I would NOT add to mine.

I dive into WHY I would not add these things to my contract, why they don't make sense, are in disservice to the client, or are even out of integrity.

I DO however understand the intention behind having these in the contract and that doulas are simply attempting to set and hold boundaries to keep themselves from burning out.

There is always nuance and of course I bring that to this conversation.

I recorded a part 2 adding in my solutions/alternatives to these clauses that are both very supportive of the client AND allow the doula to uphold boundaries that support their lifestyle needs.

Stay tuned for part 2, and in the meantime head over to IG and let me know what you thought of this episode- even if you disagree! I want to chat about it! Maybe even record a part 3 if needed!

This is a continuation from the last episode "5 things I would never put in my contract part 1", so go listen to that one 1st if you have not already. It will add needed context to this episode.

In this episode, I shift the conversation from WHAT I would not put in my contract and WHY, to what to actually put there instead if you are wanting to uphold a similar boundary.

There is a fine line between REALLY GOOD business boundaries, and falling out of service or integrity to your clients. This episode will make that line more clear and touch on the nuances.

After listening in, head to my IG, be sure to give me a follow, and let me know what you think:)

I read a comment on a doula facebook page that sparked the importance for this nuanced conversation.

I am typically in the camp of charging for all the births you attend! Even as a newbie and YES even for your certifying births.

That said, I wanted to bring some nuance to the conversations because there is duality to everything and nothing in business or life is black and white.

The ENERGY behind WHY you are doing births for fee or not matters more than anything else.

In this episode I talk about why charging MAY BE the best option and why doing a birth or 2 for free MAY ALSO be a better option for you.

It all goes back to it being an equal energy exchange and I dig into examples of how this can look.

Regardless, it requires introspection and knowing yourself. You can't simply base your decisions or prices on what others are doing or based on what you're "supposed" to do.

My warning is to not let "imposter syndrome" or fear of not getting hired drive the car in this important decision!

Ask yourself: Why am I charging what I am charging? Why am I doing births for free? Check in with yourself and how it feels.
