Being a new doula can make you feel a lot of imposter syndrome anyway, but when you feel the need to know absolutely everything that does NOT help! Everything is not something that anyone knows! A new doula or otherwise.

One key to remember is that you DO know more than you think you do! You also have credible resources from training and books and online resources. So there are strategies that make you feel a little less like you don’t know. I suggest saying things like “I’m going to look up the evidence on that and send it to you!” And then actually do that! That will help you grow and learn as well as helping your clients.

Key Takeaways:

• You do not know everything
• You do not NEED to know everything
• Learn from great books and resources
• Follow up with clients when you need to research before giving an answer
