A Conversation with Mr. Mother Well

June 4, 2024/Victoria Wilson CD(DONA)/Doula Well

What's it like to be the partner of a doula?

My husband comes on the show as a special guest!

This show was a treat to record, and I hope it’ll be a treat to hear! In today’s episode, my husband joins me on the podcast. Affectionally known as ‘Mr. Mother Well’ in my community, my husband has supported my business before it even began! We talk about his experience as being the partner of a doula, and his perspectives on the doula community. (Psst! You’ll have to listen to the show for the real name reveal of Mr. Mother Well!)

Please note: My audio wasn’t the best for Mr. Mother Well’s vocals, so his voice will be at a noticeably quieter volume than mine. Earbuds or headphones may be the best listening experience for this one!
