    96. From Plan A to Purpose: The Real Doula Story Behind The NICU Translator with Mary Farrelly

    This conversation is about what happens when your life doesn’t go the way you planned, and who you become because of it. Mary Farrelly is a Level IV NICU nurse, doula, and nurse educator, and the founder of The NICU Translator and NICU Doula Academy. Through her work, she helps bridge the gap between the NICU and home by equipping families and support professionals with evidence-based education and compassionate, trauma-informed support. Mary is passionate about redefining the NICU experience and building a network of NICU-informed doulas who can walk alongside families before, during, and after a NICU stay. Tune in to hear Mary share her inspiring story. We talk about the grief of the dream that didn’t happen…  The identity shifts no one prepares you for…  The emotional weight of working in the NICU…  And what it really looks like to build something meaningful while navigating doubt, visibility, and the pressure of being “the one” people look to for support. This is one of those conversations that will make you reflect on your own path, your own voice, and the things you might be holding back. And if you’re a doula sitting there wondering why your business isn’t growing the way you thought it would… I want you to hear this: It’s not because you’re not good enough. There’s a reason you’re stuck...and we need to look at it honestly.

    95. Overcoming The Imposter Syndrome Showing Up In Your Doula Business

    Imposter syndrome doesn’t disappear as you grow your doula business- it evolves. In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own experience with imposter syndrome, especially after making a bold shift in my business on January 15th. From the outside, it looked confident and intentional… but internally? I’ve been questioning my own results, my proof, and whether I can keep this momentum going, every single month since. I’m also sharing the story of my very first job as a personal trainer, when I wasn’t even certified, and how that experience shaped everything I now believe about confidence, sales, and what it actually takes to book clients. If you’re a doula or service provider struggling with self-doubt, feeling like a fraud, or holding yourself back from showing up and selling your services, this episode will help you understand what’s really going on, and how to move through it. Inside this episode, I break down: Why imposter syndrome shows up in your doula businessHow self-doubt impacts your sales, consults, and visibilityThe evolution of imposter syndrome at every level of business growthWhy certifications don’t equal confidence (or clients)How to build confidence through action, not perfectionIf you want to grow your doula business, sign more clients, and show up with confidence, even when you don’t feel ready...take my Free Doula Reveneue Bottleneck Assessment now.

    93. Doula Journal Entry: When Everything Is Working… Except the One Thing I Want Most

    Before you listen, please know this conversation includes pregnancy loss, miscarriage, and the emotional realities that come with it. If you’re in a tender place, protect your heart first. You can come back to this when you’re ready. I’ve been a bit quiet for a reason. Not because I didn’t have anything to say…but because I was in the middle of something I couldn’t rush to make sense of. In the last year, I’ve experienced two missed miscarriages. The first came with waiting...waiting for answers, waiting for my body to catch up, waiting in this space between fear and trust while making decisions I never thought I’d have to face. The second… was different. I knew. Before the ultrasound. Before anyone said a word. There was a quiet, undeniable instinct in my body that something wasn’t right, and I tried to override it. This episode is about that knowing. The grief. The jealousy, guilt, and thoughts I didn’t want to admit out loud. The experience of moving through a system that felt cold and disconnected from something so deeply human. And the identity shift that comes when you can’t “fix” or control the one thing you want most. This isn’t a lesson. There’s no neat takeaway. No polished ending. This is me… in it. Processing what it means to hold both abundance and devastation at the same time. To build a life and business that’s expanding, while navigating something that feels completely out of your hands. To trust your body again… and to become someone who can hold more, even when it hurts. If you’ve experienced loss… If you’re in a season that doesn’t make sense… If you’ve ever felt alone in thoughts you didn’t think you were allowed to have.. you’re not alone in this. And you don’t have to rush your way out of it. Thank you for being here. 3 Struggling to grow your doula business? Tired of chasing pregnant mothers online?

    91. From Loss to Leadership: The Story Behind the Doula Collective with Amy Silva

    This conversation is going to stay with you. Because this isn’t just about doula work… This is about what it means to be a human holding other humans through the most life-altering moments they’ll ever experience. Today, I’m sitting down with Amy Silva, founder of the Collaborative Doula Collective and the Collaborative Doula Conference, and we go far beyond surface-level conversations about birth work. We go into the why behind it all. The kind of why that’s born from lived experience. From her grief. From her love. From life cracking her open and asking her to become someone new. Amy shares the deeply personal season that shaped everything she’s building today. A story about grief and new life. Side by side- and what that taught her about what doulas are really holding space for. We talk about:  – What doulas carry that no one talks about  – The emotional weight of supporting others while living your own story  – Why this work is bigger than business… and requires community to sustain it  – And how to hold space without losing yourself in the process It’s the kind of conversation that reminds you: You don’t get to separate the work from the woman. And maybe… you’re not meant to. If you’ve ever felt the weight of this work… If you’ve ever craved a space where you can be supported too, This is for you. ***And if you’re feeling the pull to be in a room where these conversations are happening in real life: The Collaborative Doula Conference is happening May 25–27 (and I'll be speaking and craving hugs IRL!!)

    90. How to Keep Going When Your Doula Business Isn’t Working (And You’re Ready to Quit)

    What do you do when your business isn’t working… and you’re this close to giving up? In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my own entrepreneurial journey, back to the season where nothing was clicking. No consistent clients. No predictable income. No proof that any of this was going to work. Just doubt, pressure, and the constant question: “Is this even meant for me?” Because here’s the truth no one talks about: The hardest part of building a business isn’t strategy.  It’s continuing when there’s no evidence yet. But what’s even more surprising? That’s not the only hard season. Because eventually… it does start working. And then the question shifts from: “How do I keep going when nothing is working?”  to  “How do I keep going… and still love my life?” In this episode, we’re diving into both. I’m sharing:  The mindset shift that kept me from quitting in the early days  Why most entrepreneurs give up in the “messy middle”  What actually wasn’t working in my business (and how I fixed it)  The difference between building a business that drains you vs supports your life  How to create a business as a present mom, devoted partner, and powerful leader If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right but nothing is working…  or you’re building momentum but starting to feel stretched thin… This episode will hit. Because you don’t just need to keep going. You need to build this in a way that actually holds.
