Build resilience and sustainability while reducing burnout from on-call life. Ensure that your work has a positive impact on your family rather than a negative one.  Minimize the “parent guilt” of on-call birth worker life.

• Do you love your work as an on-call birth worker but you need more peace of mind knowing that you won’t miss important family events?  

• Are you worried about the impact of on-call life on your partner and family?  

  • Do you love your work as an on-call birth worker but you want to make sure that your partner and kids don’t feel hosed?

  • Do you want to feel assured that your on-call life is building your family’s resilience rather than tearing them down? 

  • Do you want to ensure that neither you nor your partner burn out?  

• Do you want the flexibility to occasionally go out of town without having to block off your time for weeks on either side?

Birth Worker Family Sustainability Blueprint is a comprehensive program to manage family life as a birth worker. 

You will learn communication tools and have opportunities to brainstorm important topics, including:

• Ways to feel more confident that your clients are being supported well, and that you won’t miss important family events either.

• Parenting hacks.  On-call family logistics systems such as childcare, transportation, family calendaring.

• Ways to manage and reduce long labors

• Preparing for a birth:  managing stress and anxiety, being present and having a life, “go plans”, balancing spontaneity and routines.

• Self-care during and after a birth. Focus on plans for eating and sleeping, and for managing long births, including resources to reduce them. Ideas for healthy eating on-the-go for you and for your family.  

• Relationship tools you can use in your personal and professional partnerships such as tools for teamwork and problem solving: expressing needs; strategies for getting to know each other; inexpensive ways to connect; conversations for reducing stress and for discussing the birth.

Outcomes:

• Having the flexibility to schedule things and go out of town

Who is this program for? 

This program is for on-call birth workers who want to make on-call life easier for themselves, their partner, and their children so that they can show up fully present for their own family and the families that they serve.  Personal partners are welcome but not required to attend.  Professional partners get a 50% discount on the class.   

Who is this program not for? 

This is not for people who want a step by step prescription of how to run their business.  This class will be a mixture of practical tips, mindset tools, and opportunities to share our victories and struggles with other birth workers.  It is not a quick fix. The goal is to help us to set ourselves up for success by being more prepared and more resilient, and it is not going to take away ALL of the challenges that come along with working on call.  

Logistics: 

5 weekly classes will be online through a mixture of Zoom and pre-recorded content to be scheduled at your convenience.
