Doulas, are you turning away clients because you're booked solid?

It’s a great problem to have… until it starts feeling like those referrals you're passing along are a missed opportunity for you.

If you’re passing client referrals along to other doulas (without getting anything in return) but can’t imagine starting an agency because it feels too big, too complicated, or just too much—this episode is for you.

I sit down with Juanita Harris of Southern Charm Doula, who was booked 9+ months out, constantly saying no to new inquiries, and exhausted. She thought running an agency was too much work… until she realized she was already doing half the work for free.

🎙️ In this episode, Juanita shares:

✅ Why she resisted starting an agency for so long
✅ The breaking point that made her say, “I have to do this NOW”
✅ How she launched her agency in one week—without the overwhelm
✅ The biggest myths about starting an agency (and what’s actually true!)
✅ How she now supports more families, makes more money, and has more control of her schedule

If you're feeling stuck, scared, or unsure about taking the next step towards opening a doula agency, this episode will open your eyes to what’s possible.

The average doula burns out within 2-5 years. But not Allison Coleman. She's been thriving for 26 years! What’s her secret? Boundaries. Crystal clear, unapologetic boundaries.

From charging premium rates to setting expectations with clients upfront—Allison shares it all on this week’s podcast episode.

Are you struggling to find the right words to connect with potential clients? Do you feel like your website and social media posts don’t truly reflect who you are as a doula?

In this episode, I sit down with Jillian Anderson, an expert copywriter (and former abdominal massage therapist!) who helps entrepreneurs craft compelling, authentic messaging that converts.

We dive into:

✅ Why copywriting is the key to booking more doula clients
✅ How to write in a way that sounds like you and feels natural
✅ The biggest mistake doulas make in their websites and social media posts
✅ The connection between pricing, self-worth, and marketing confidence

PLUS—Jillian shares how her free birth experience shaped her perspective on postpartum support and why she hired a postpartum doula even after an undisturbed birth.

If you’re ready to refine your message, attract more clients, and make marketing easier (without the sleazy sales tactics), this episode is for you!
