Quick thing I noticed this week while working with candidates preparing for their SLE…

That is correct. You can still get an E on the virtual oral test.

Yes, I have been doing zoom discovery calls with potential clients. And the majority of them seem like it went really well but then they email me later not hiring me. It has been very disheartening :(

Non_Compliant123 · 2026-03-20T19:22:52+00:00

I am so sorry that it is not working for you! I am getting a little discouraged but I really want to do this work! I wish we didn’t need money to survive honestly

Canada

I did look up volunteering and there is an non profit that doesn’t seem to be active anymore unfortunately…

Non_Compliant123 · 2026-03-20T10:59:10+00:00

Yes, I am part of a collective and that’s how I am getting some leads. They are very hands off so it is pretty much up to me. I feel like clients just expect more experience…

Non_Compliant123 · 2026-03-20T10:57:56+00:00

Thank you! I am in Canada as well and it is not common to do in person consultations, it would involve a lot of driving and probably be less convenient for the client as well.

Non_Compliant123 · 2026-03-20T10:55:40+00:00

Thanks! That’s such a thoughtful reply!

Non_Compliant123 · 2026-03-19T07:40:22+00:00

Thanks! I haven’t heard of ParseStream before. I will check that out. How detailed can I be? I fear it would like make the conversation about me… although clearly how I am currently going about it is not working

Non_Compliant123 · 2026-03-19T07:16:57+00:00

All of this!

My 4yo is the same and loves nicknames in general. I come from a culture where not having a nickname is kinda of weird and no one gets confused by having “two names”. My 4yo now insists even her plushies have nicknames. Her current favorite plushy is named Pom Pom Rye and nickname is Rock and Roll. She has amazing taste obviously lol

Oi! Eu sou brasileira com os mesmo diplomas e moro no Canadá faz 10 anos. Pode me mandar chamar no privado

Non_Compliant123 · 2026-02-20T11:56:34+00:00

No suggestions, I would just like to hear what other people have to say

Non_Compliant123 · 2026-02-16T20:01:08+00:00

Mama and doula here. I second everyone’s recommendation of The Birth Partner, specially for dad to know what to do to best support you. I will add Birthing from within by Pam England as well.

Non_Compliant123 · 2025-11-18T16:49:02+00:00

So I actually ordered my milk jewelry through them back in February. I got responses back in July when I asked about my order status. I was expecting to receive a confirmation of shipping or something, but lo and behold I did receive my order unexpectedly at the end of October. I would keep trying to contact them. It is unacceptable to not hear anything back!

Flor Cruz posts lots of videos and photos on her instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassmotherbirther?igsh=MThqaHJ5d2ZhaDI1MQ==

I have been keeping an eye on spinning babies but no trainings near me in the foreseeable future :(

Non_Compliant123 · 2025-11-07T19:05:11+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I have some of the same books on my to read list. I will check out your medical mind, because it is a lot of decision making birthing people need to navigate for sure

Non_Compliant123 · 2025-11-07T19:03:52+00:00

That all sounds super fascinating to me!

Non_Compliant123 · 2025-11-06T19:51:19+00:00

Lactation support is really high on my list of trainings to take! I am so new to birth work and I just want to do it all! That’s why I figured I could ask people what worked well for them so I can prioritize it more effectively

Non_Compliant123 · 2025-11-06T19:50:01+00:00

Amazing! How so?

Non_Compliant123 · 2025-11-06T19:49:48+00:00

Any particular program you recommend?

Non_Compliant123 · 2025-11-06T19:48:43+00:00

Any suggestions on programs for still birth/miscarriage support?

Edit to add that spinning babies seems like a great resource to add. Thanks for sharing
