Advertise on podcast: The Six-Figure Doula: For career birth workers building sustainable, high-income businesses

This is me officially saying goodbye to my fancy freakin’ funnel. Not because funnels don’t work, but because this one never really fit. In this episode, I share how I actually built a six-figure, in-person doula business long before launches, ads, or automation, and why letting go of systems that looked good on paper but felt heavy in my body changed everything. If your business feels harder than it should… If you’re doing everything “right” but still feel disconnected… This is an alignment and self-trust conversation you’ll want to hear. Because sometimes scaling isn’t about building something bigger. It’s about building something that actually holds you. If you're ready to move away from complicated funnels and constant content creation, and get back to real conversations with real families, book a CLARITY call today!

What happens when your own birth cracks you wide open...and you can’t unsee the system ever again? In this episode, I’m sitting down with Krystil Hofsky, founder of Innerbloom Doula Institute, to talk about the moments that fundamentally changed how she trusted herself, how she mothered, and how she understood power inside birth spaces. Krystil shares how her son’s birth rerouted her entire life, pulling her out of corporate sales and into a deeper reckoning with autonomy, consent, responsibility, and what advocacy actually demands of doulas. We go there: the uncomfortable truths about modern birth, the gaps in traditional doula training, and why being “well-intentioned” is no longer enough. We talk about: How motherhood forces identity death, and why resisting it keeps women stuckWhy the doula role has to evolve right now if outcomes are going to changeThe internal skills that separate competent doulas from exceptional onesWhat most doula trainings miss when it comes to discernment, authority, and leadershipWhy Krystil built the training she wished existed, and who it’s really forThis conversation is honest, confronting, and deeply validating for anyone who’s felt the quiet tension between what they were taught and what they know in their body. If you’re a doula, birth worker, or woman who feels the weight of responsibility and wants to rise to it, this episode will hit.  ✨ Join Innerbloom Doula Institute and step into the kind of leadership birth actually requires.

In this episode, we’re unpacking the real psychology behind premium pricing for doulas and why pricing that actually reflects your worth isn’t greedy, unethical, or out of alignment… it’s leadership. We talk about the invisible costs no one teaches you to factor in: The emotional labor. The mental load. The constant availability. The opportunity cost of saying yes to one client and no to everything else. We’ll name the real problem with undercharging, not just financially, but energetically, and how low prices don’t create safety, trust, or access… they create resentment, burnout, and shaky boundaries. This conversation goes deeper than numbers.  It’s about money guilt, identity, and the quiet belief that being “a good woman” means making yourself smaller so others can feel comfortable. If you’ve ever said: “I just want this to be accessible”“I don’t feel right charging that much”“Who am I to ask for that?”This episode is for you. We’re reframing pricing as clarity.  Money as communication.  And premium prices as a container that holds transformation, not a barrier to it. Because accessibility without sustainability isn’t service.  And pricing that drains you isn’t generous, it’s self-abandonment. 🎧 Press play if you’re ready to stop apologizing for your value and start leading with it.

Your doula consults feel good. They’re emotional. Connected. Even meaningful. And then… nothing happens. If you’re getting ghosted after long, heartfelt consults, I want you to hear this clearly: it’s not your likability, your warmth, or your ability to connect. It’s your structure. In this episode, I share a moment that genuinely humbled me- despite selling nearly $5 million in my career, I found myself struggling on sales calls.  When I brought it to my coach, I expected a small tweak. Instead, he challenged the foundation and reminded me of something every successful business owner eventually learns: Sales calls are always the biggest needle mover. You’ll learn: Why long consults don’t actually build trustWhere doulas accidentally lose authority without realizing itHow over-educating creates confusion instead of safetyThe simple consult structure that creates clarity, confidence, and decisionsHow to ask for the yes without feeling awkward or salesyIf your consults feel emotionally rich but don’t convert, this episode will reframe everything. You don’t need to become a different person.  You need a structure that holds the room. 🎧 Press play. Struggling to grow your doula business? Tired of chasing pregnant mothers online?

I recorded this episode to talk honestly about what building a six-figure doula business actually requires- beyond certifications, long hours, or trying to be everything to everyone. I share what shifted my own doula business and what I see consistently in doulas who build profitable, sustainable doula businesses: leadership in conversations, visibility that does the heavy lifting, and learning how to sell your services without feeling pushy or fake. This episode is a grounded look at why so many doulas feel stuck doing meaningful work without consistent income, and what changes when you lead differently. 👉 DM me AUDIT on Instagram @thelisavee if you want support getting clearer, more visible, and more booked.

In this year-end reflection, I’m sharing the doula-truths I didn’t want to admit, but couldn’t ignore anymore. This episode is about slowing down, exercising restraint, and making changes that feel uncomfortable but necessary to grow a sustainable doula business. I talk candidly about hiding in momentum, receiving hard feedback from my coach, and realizing that doing more was actually diluting my impact. You’ll hear why I’m creating less content, launching less, narrowing my focus, offering deeper private support sooner than planned, and choosing rooms, and mentors, where expansion is normal. This isn’t a strategy episode. It’s a leadership one. A real one. If you’re feeling called to simplify, refine, and trust yourself at a deeper level in your business, this conversation will land. And if you’re ready for your next chapter to feel calmer, clearer, and more aligned, this episode is for you (and so is this podcast uplevel)!

This episode is for women building something meaningful…  and quietly wondering why it feels so hard. Building a mission-driven business isn’t just about strategy or growth. It’s emotional.  It’s heavy at times.  And it often asks more of you than anyone prepares you for. In this episode, I’m sitting down with Kelly Cox, founder of Share The Drop, an app connecting families with screened donor breastmilk to increase access to human milk support for babies who need it most. But this isn’t a conversation about features or tech. It’s about the woman behind the work. We talk honestly about: The moments Kelly doubted herself and questioned whether she was the right person to build thisWhat it’s like to carry responsibility for families and babies while still figuring yourself outThe complicated relationship with visibility and social media as a founderThe emotional weight of building something rooted in care and serviceWhere she sees the business, and herself, heading in 2026If you’ve ever thought, “I believe in this, but I’m not sure I’m built for the weight of it,” you’re not alone.

Sales conversations feel vulnerable. Raw. Exposed. It’s not your certifications or your follower count or the fact that you don’t have the “perfect” line to say. It’s that somewhere along the way, you started performing. Polishing yourself.  Shrinking your edges.  Trying to sound like the “ideal doula” instead of the real you. And polished?  Polished doesn’t convert. In this episode, we’re throwing out the performative BS and getting back to what actually books clients: ✨ Your presence  ✨ Your intuition  ✨ Your human-to-human connection  ✨ Your ability to hold emotional space—not just in labor, but on the consult too I’m breaking down: 🔥 Why most doulas THINK they need a script (and why it makes them sound staged) 🔥 Why scripts fall flat when they’re built around the words instead of the woman saying them 🔥 Why a REAL script, the right framework, can actually set you free (when it’s built from your tone, your story, your philosophy around birth) 🔥 What to actually SAY to open someone up, connect deeply, and lead like the guide you already are This episode will crack you wide open in the best way.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on something I’ve never really said out loud: for a long time, I felt like a complete imposter teaching anything related to social media. I didn’t have a huge following. I wasn’t “aesthetically perfect.” I didn’t look like the typical content coach. And yet… my clients were getting results.  Big results.  Sales. Confidence. Clarity. Freedom. This episode walks you through the exact moment I realized my approach to visibility wasn’t actually about social media, it was about sales psychology, emotional connection, and helping doulas feel safe enough to take up space online. We talk about letting go of comparison, tapping into your natural gifts, turning your story into your strategy, and why standing out online isn’t about trends… it’s about truth. If you’ve ever questioned whether you’re “qualified enough” to teach, lead, show up online, or sell your offers, this one will matter. You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of why your voice is your most powerful sales tool and how embracing your uniqueness is the key to signing more clients.
