Community Calls are your space to slow down, breathe, and feel genuinely supported by doulas who understand the emotional, physical, and practical layers of pregnancy, birth and early parenting. Held online each month, these online-group sessions offer connection and care from the same collective who walk beside you in person. Whether you are preparing for birth, navigating decisions, unpacking emotions, or seeking grounded postpartum wisdom, Radiant Community Calls are here to hold you.

July 24 @ 11am│Community Call Topic is Why preparing for postpartum is so important

Josie will be joined by Ali, mothers and doulas; lived and learned experience of navigating the wild and wonderful territory that is motherhood, that is parenthood.

Preparing for postpartum isn't just practical; it's emotional, relational and identity-shaping too. And yet so much of the focus in pregnancy goes to the birth itself, leaving the weeks and months that follow feeling like uncharted territory.

We will talk about why it’s so important to think about postpartum, to set some intentions and put in place supports. Not because we can control it, but because when we understand more about it, we can identify our needs in the context of our own unique lives and approach it feeling more prepared and supported.

What Community Calls Offer

Come as you are. Each session is gentle, spacious and guided with intention. You’ll be welcomed into a circle of mothers, parents and doulas who honour honesty, vulnerability and real conversation. We may invite special guests that offer care in the maternal and parental support spaces.

When you join us, you’re supported by multiple doulas with diverse experience. You receive a rich tapestry of perspectives. Our approach blends:

  • current peer-reviewed research

  • embodied knowledge from doula work

  • traditional practices centred on rest, rhythm, community and nourishment

  • space for your own intuition and wisdom

Who Are They For?

These are perfect for you if you’re:

  • pregnant (any stage)

  • preparing for birth in any model of care

  • seeking continuity of emotional support

  • wanting a grounded understanding of your options

  • planning for a gentle postpartum

  • wanting to feel empowered, informed and not alone

  • living regionally or juggling schedules that make in-person support difficult

  • wanting the warmth of a doula without committing to a full doula package

Sessions run for 50 minutes and are held via Zoom.

A Written Session Summary is provided the next day.

Video Replays are available where possible.

May 20 │Birth after caesarean and VBAC

This month’s Community Call brought together both lived experience of birth after caesarean and doulas supporting birth after caesarean. To explore and share what it can look like to approach birth again after a caesarean.

Together, they’ll explore the emotional layers, the questions that often arise, and the process of rebuilding trust in your body and your choices. We’ll speak to the realities — the hopes, the fears, the unknowns — and create space for a more nuanced and compassionate understanding of BAC / VBAC.

Not as a fixed outcome, but as a journey of informed decision-making, support, and connection to yourself.

May 1 │Sometimes everything feels like a lot, because it is.

This month’s Community Call with Georgie is a chat about and for those who feel the world deeply and how that can intensify through pregnancy, postpartum and motherhood. In this call, Georgie and I will explore what it means to be a highly sensitive person (HSP) and sensory overwhelm in motherhood. Around 1 in 5 people have a highly sensitive nervous system.

These kinds of people naturally take in more, notice more, and feel more. And in motherhood, this sensitivity often heightens even further, as your body and brain attune to care for your baby. You might find yourself more affected by noise, touch, smells, or the emotional tone of a room. You might feel overwhelmed more quickly, or like your system is constantly “on”. You might notice everything and feel it too.
