Ep. 267 - Postpartum Doulas - The Support Every New Parent Deserves with Heather Magill
Episode 267
Tuesday, 3 February, 2026
Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!Postpartum can feel overwhelming—not because something is wrong, but because no one prepares you for how much conflicting information you’ll receive after having a baby.In today’s guest episode, I’m joined by a Postpartum Doula and Matrescence Educator, Heather Magill who helps parents navigate one of the most vulnerable transitions of their lives with clarity, compassion, and zero pressure. We talk about how hard it can be to know what’s normal, what will pass, and when it might actually be time to ask for extra support.This conversation is especially important for parents who feel torn between advice from professionals, family members, social media, and their own instincts—and end up feeling confused or like they’re failing.In this episode, we cover:- What matrescence is- Why postpartum often feels like a problem even when it isn’t- How conflicting advice can create anxiety and self-doubt- The difference between helpful support and emotionally loaded pressure- How having a neutral, informed support person changes everything- Why trusting yourself again is a skill—not something you’re born withIf you’re planning to have kids, pregnant or in the postpartum season, this episode will help you feel less alone and more grounded in what actually matters.🎧 Listen now and share this with a parent who needs permission to stop questioning themselves.Connect with Heather:Website: www.infantconcierge.comIG: @infantconciergeCheck out her community - Untangling MotherhoodThanks for listening!Connect and send a message letting me know what you took away from this episode: @michellepurtacoachingIf you would like to support this show, please rate and review the show, and share it with people you know would love this show too!Ready to put a stop to the arguments in your marriage?
