In this validating and heart-centered episode of Doula Talk: Postpartum, Babies, and the Battle for Sleep, postpartum and sleep doula Deb dives into one of the most emotionally loaded topics for new families: how to survive the holidays without sacrificing your sanity, sleep, or boundaries.
If this is your baby's first holiday and you're feeling pulled in a dozen directions, this episode is your permission slip to slow down and do things differently. Deb breaks down why the holidays often feel so overwhelming after having a baby (hint: you’re not imagining it) and offers deeply supportive, real-life tools to help you navigate the holidays on your terms.
With her signature blend of empathy and real talk, Deb shares scripts for boundary-setting, doula-approved travel tips, and why overstimulation matters so much in the early weeks and months. If you’ve ever felt like you’re trying to keep your baby asleep while fielding awkward questions at a family dinner, this one’s for you.
