You’ve been preparing for the baby, BUT...
Insight #1:
You might not need more support...you might just need the right kind
If you’ve ever felt unseen even while “getting help,” this will hit home. There’s a reason why certain kinds of care leave you full, and others leave you frustrated.
Insight #2:
The way you’ve been taught to “get ready” might not work for how you’re wired
Some of us need a plan. Others need a pause. This quiz reveals what kind of preparation actually reduces stress—for you.
Insight #3:
What’s weighing on you isn’t random...it’s pointing to exactly what you need
Under the surface of overwhelm, there’s usually one thing asking to be named. This quiz helps you find it—so you can finally breathe.
MEEET Your GUIDE
Jen Ballew
Birth & Postpartum Doula
Founder of The Parenthood Project
Creator of The Threshold Program
I’m Jen Ballew. I’m a birth and postpartum doula, mother of two, and the creator of The Threshold Program and The Sanctuary Model. For over a decade, I’ve supported families through the full journey of becoming, from early pregnancy through the sacred swirl of postpartum.
My approach blends practical care with deep presence. I’m known for holding space with clarity and compassion, tending to both the emotional and logistical layers of this tender time. Whether I’m guiding a one-on-one session, offering postpartum planning, or facilitating a circle, I show up with the intention to create support that feels nourishing and real.
This path is personal. After experiencing both a traumatic birth and a healing VBAC, I came to this work through my own process of reclaiming trust and restoring agency. That lived experience shaped how I support others and how I advocate for systems of care that truly serve new parents.
Before stepping into doula work, I led teams in homeland security and intelligence. That background gave me a strong foundation in leadership, structure, and discernment—all of which now show up in how I design care that is both intuitive and effective.
Outside of birth work, I’m often on the trails in Orange County, enjoying slow meals with my kids, or showing up for reproductive justice in both digital and real-world spaces. I believe this work is sacred, and I’m honored to walk alongside those navigating the thresholds of parenthood.
Disclaimer - This quiz is a free offering created to help you explore what kind of postpartum support might truly feel nourishing for you. It’s not medical advice or a diagnostic tool, but a reflective starting point—one that can open new insight into what you need and how you want to be supported. After the quiz, you’ll have the option to learn more about how I work with clients, but there’s no pressure to take the next step. You’re invited to move at your own pace, in your own timing.
