Description

How do you go from spreadsheets to spinning babies, and end up on national perinatal boards? In this episode, Hillary sits down with LaToshia Rouse, a birth and postpartum doula, childbirth educator, and speaker who brings her whole self (and sometimes her whole family!) to the work of changing maternal care from the inside out.

We talk about:

  • Parenting triplets and how NICU life shaped LaToshia's why

  • How doulas can support clients without overextending themselves

  • What it really takes to build connections with hospital systems

  • Why flexibility, strong boundaries, and knowing your season are everything

You'll laugh, nod along, and walk away feeling like you've just made a new doula bestie.
