    99. From Invisible to Unforgettable: The Branding Mistake Making Your Doula Business Forgettable {Part 2}

    In this episode, I’m getting painfully honest about something I think so many women silently experience… what happens when you slowly start abandoning yourself in order to be easier to love. I’m sharing the deeper story behind why I care so much about visibility, branding, self-expression, and helping doulas stop watering themselves down online — because this work has never really just been about Instagram bios or marketing strategy for me. It’s about identity. It’s about the years I spent believing I was too much:  too emotional,  too loud,  too expressive,  too ambitious,  too visible. And how slowly — through relationships, conditioning, fear of judgment, and fear of rejection — I started shrinking myself without even realizing it. In this conversation, I open up about:  ✨ my first marriage and how I lost myself in tiny edits  ✨ the emotional cost of becoming “digestible”  ✨ why visibility feels unsafe for so many women  ✨ the surprising role dance played in helping me reclaim myself  ✨ how self-expression impacts business, confidence, and magnetism  ✨ why so many doulas struggle online even with “good strategy”  ✨ and why the goal of branding is not to remove yourself from your message… but reveal yourself more clearly If you’ve ever felt like you need to tone yourself down to be accepted…  If you’ve been hiding parts of yourself online…  If your content feels flat, filtered, or emotionally disconnected… this episode is for you. And if you want support making your brand feel more human, emotionally connective, and memorable… I do offer personalized Doula IG Bio Audits where I review your bio, messaging, positioning, and first impression so your page actually sounds like YOU.

    98. From Invisible to Unforgettable: 5 Birth Branding Lessons Every Doula Needs to Hear {Part 1}

    This episode kicks off a brand-new series on the Six Figure Doula Podcast all about visibility, personal branding, emotional connection, and what actually makes doulas unforgettable online. I’m breaking down why being the “best” doula doesn’t automatically make you visible... I’m talking about:  Why I think the doula industry has an “optimization addiction”  The reason some doulas are unforgettable online while others blend into the background  The moment I stopped trying to sound like my mentors and finally leaned into my own voice  How my background in dance, sales psychology, and storytelling shaped my brand  Why different creates emotional memory, and emotional memory creates clients This episode is vulnerable, bold, and probably a little uncomfortable at times… but it’s the conversation I think the birth world desperately needs. Because your future clients cannot choose the version of you they cannot clearly see. And they definitely cannot remember the version of you that sounds like everybody else. ✨ And if you want help figuring out how your brand is actually coming across online, I’m offering my  FREE IG Bio Audit where I personally review:  your positioning  your messaging  your clarity  and your first impression Spots are limited because I personally do these myself, so grab yours before they’re gone.

    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?
