In this episode of Hot + Brave, Bianca breaks down the essential (but often overlooked) topic of backup doulas: how to choose one, how to be one, and why this role is a vital part of building a sustainable, ethical doula practice.

We’re covering:

• What makes a great backup doula
• How to prep your clients without fear
• Setting clear agreements, payment terms, and expectations
• Why having a backup isn’t flaky—it’s professional care
• How to build trust inside your doula community

This episode is perfect for birth doulas, postpartum doulas, and students in doula training who want to feel more prepared, connected, and supported in their work.

In this episode of Hot + Brave, we’re joined by Anna Lundqvist of Sacred Birth International (www.sacredbirthinternational.com) to explore one of the most profound and often overlooked shifts in a woman’s life: the transition from maiden to mother. Anna shares how birth can be reclaimed as a sacred rite of passage, what gets lost in our over-medicalized systems, and how we can honor the deep emotional, spiritual, and personal transformation that comes with becoming a mother.

Whether you’re pregnant, postpartum, or walking alongside others as a birth worker, this conversation is an invitation to slow down, remember, and reconnect to your own rites of becoming.
