In this episode, Bianca Sprague invites the birth world into a critical and overdue conversation: the end of the weekend doula training model.

The weekend era served an early purpose. It opened the door to formalized doula work, community support, and advocacy inside medical systems. Yet birth work has evolved, and the expectations placed on doulas have grown dramatically. Today’s doulas must be trauma informed, anti oppression grounded, consent focused, emotionally literate, and prepared to collaborate inside complex medical environments. A two day training cannot offer the depth this work now requires.

Bianca shares the history behind the weekend format, why it no longer serves doulas or birthing families, and her own experience entering the field through a weekend training that left her inspired but underprepared. She also speaks to the moment she realized many training models do not invest in long term success for their graduates, and how that shaped her commitment to comprehensive, justice based education.

This is not a call out. It is a call in. It is a respectful evolution rooted in care for doulas, for families, and for the integrity of birth work.

If you are a new or aspiring doula, this episode will help you understand what true preparation looks like. If you trained through a weekend model and still do not feel confident, you are not alone. And you do not have to start over. bebo mia offers a Certification Transfer Program to support doulas who want deeper skills, mentorship, and community.

Birth work deserves depth. Doulas deserve training that sustains them. Families deserve confident, skilled support. The weekend era opened the door. The future will fortify it.

You can be the best doula in the world, compassionate, skilled, and deeply dedicated, but if people don’t know you exist, they can’t hire you.

In this episode of Hot + Brave, Bianca dives into what she calls The Invisible Doula Problem - why so many incredible birthworkers struggle to get noticed, and how visibility can become an act of care instead of something that feels salesy or self-promotional.

You’ll learn how being seen is actually part of your advocacy, the small steps you can take today to start showing up more confidently, and why perfection isn’t the goal...connection is.

This conversation is packed with truth-telling, warmth, and practical insight for doulas who are ready to grow their businesses while staying grounded in their values.

If you’ve been feeling like the world doesn’t quite know you’re out there yet, this episode will remind you: your work deserves to be known, and your community deserves to find you.

And if you’re ready to finally become visible, confident, and booked-out, join us for the Get More Clients Challenge, a 5-day live business accelerator designed to help doulas and reproductive health professionals attract clients without burnout or busywork.
