Balancing Acts: From Web Code to Comfort Measures- A Career Transition to Doula Support

Birth and postpartum workers are often multi-passionate and multi-talented and while society often promotes the narrative that “you can do it all,” the reality is that it is not feasible to manage everything simultaneously without risking burnout. In this presentation, Lauren McClain, who has navigated a career transition, will share her experiences and strategies for managing multiple roles.

After this session, participants will have strategies to examine their calendars and job responsibilities and assess how much they can realistically balance without compromising their well-being. Lauren will cover how to effectively communicate and make decisions when the demands of one career begin to outweigh another.

This session aims to provide practical tools and insights for maintaining a healthy balance in professional lives.
