The Six-Figure Doula: For career birth workers building sustainable, high-income businesses Tue, 10 Mar 2026 09:05:14 -0400 http://www.thelisavee.com en-us © 2026 The Six-Figure Doula: For career birth workers building sustainable, high-income businesses yes d7adc1c2-750a-5484-a064-321c0b180288 Lisa Villani episodic true For the doula or perinatal pro who knows this work changes lives and deserves to pay well.
 
For the woman who’s done undercharging, overgiving, and second-guessing herself.

For the one who’s ready to build a sustainable, profitable business without selling her soul or burning herself out.

On The Six Figure Doula Podcast, we talk about the conversations most doulas avoid:

  • Money, pricing, and premium offers
  • Sales without pressure, manipulation, or bro-marketing
  • Building visibility & magnetic marketing that actually attracts aligned clients
  • Leadership, identity, and the mindset shifts required to grow
  • Simplifying your business instead of piling on more noise

This isn’t a podcast about doing more.
It’s about doing less- better.

You won’t find hustle culture here.
You won’t find watered-down social media advice or “try this trend” strategies.
And you definitely won’t find permission to stay small.

You’ll find honest reflections, real sales strategy, and direct conversations about what it actually takes to become a booked-out, confident, well-paid doula.

This podcast is for you if:

  • You want premium clients who respect your work
  • You’re ready to sell with integrity and certainty
  • You’re done explaining or justifying your prices
  • You want freedom, not chaos disguised as “passion”
  • You’re all-in on building something that lasts

If you’re looking for comfort, this isn’t it.
If you’re looking for clarity, conviction, and a business that supports your life-
you’re in the right place.

Welcome to The Six Figure Doula Podcast.
Let’s build something real.

Why Your Doula Business Is Stuck Under 10K Months 88. Why Your Doula Business Is Stuck Under 10K Months There was a season in my doula business where I was stuck making about $2K a month… while working constantly.

Late nights.
 Weekend consults.
 Posting on Instagram.
 Networking in Facebook groups.
 Tweaking my website.
 Lowering my prices.

I was doing everything the industry said to do—and nothing was changing.

In this episode, I’m sharing the moment I realized I had completely misdiagnosed the problem in my business.

Because most doulas don’t actually have a lead problem.

They have a bottleneck problem.

Once I figured out where my business was truly stuck, everything shifted—and I went from $2K months to consistent $10K+ months as an in-person doula.

If you feel like you’re working incredibly hard but your income isn’t reflecting it, this episode will help you identify what’s really going on.

In This Episode

• The brutal math behind my $2K months
 • Why more information didn’t fix my business
 • The funnel rabbit hole that wasted months of time
 • The 4 doula business bottlenecks that keep people stuck

Take the Doula Revenue Bottleneck Analysis and find out exactly where your business is stuck.

More packages do NOT equal more sales.

More customization does NOT equal better service.

And line-iteming your support might be the exact reason your consults end with “We’ll think about it.”

If you’re walking into consults with three tiers, add-ons, and flexible pricing, you might be handing your clients the clipboard — when what they actually want is certainty.

Inside this episode, I break down:

  • Why multiple doula packages dilute authority
  • How decision fatigue quietly kills momentum
  • The difference between selling logistics vs. solving root emotional problems
  • How to structure consults that feel grounded, powerful, and aligned
  • The exact energy shift that makes your packages sell themselves

What Doula Training Leaves Out (and Families Pay For) with Krystil Hofsky 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 stuck
  • Why the doula role has to evolve right now if outcomes are going to change
  • The internal skills that separate competent doulas from exceptional ones
  • What most doula trainings miss when it comes to discernment, authority, and leadership
  • Why Krystil built the training she wished existed, and who it’s really for

This 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.

How to Price Your Doula Services Without Guilt or Burnout 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.

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 trust
  • Where doulas accidentally lose authority without realizing it
  • How over-educating creates confusion instead of safety
  • The simple consult structure that creates clarity, confidence, and decisions
  • How to ask for the yes without feeling awkward or salesy

If your consults feel emotionally rich but don’t convert, this episode will reframe everything.

You don’t need to become a different person.

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 this
  • What it’s like to carry responsibility for families and babies while still figuring yourself out
  • The complicated relationship with visibility and social media as a founder
  • The emotional weight of building something rooted in care and service
  • Where she sees the business, and herself, heading in 2026

If 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.

And you’re exactly where you need to be.

The Real AF Doula Sales Script That Actually Converts: What to Say to Book More Clients 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.

Because the truth is:
 Your REAL AF voice books more clients than your perfect one ever will.

Healing While Hustling: What It’s Really Like to Run a Doula Business Through Fear, Motherhood, and a Messy Middle 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.

And of course, HeHe shares about her current pregnancy journey, how it’s deepened her perspective as both a birth worker and a soon-to-be mom, and what this next chapter is teaching her about trust, surrender, and self-leadership.

This one’s heartfelt, unfiltered, and packed with wisdom for anyone building a life, business, or birth practice rooted in realness.

I’ll share how I went from trying to control everything to learning to trust my own rhythm, and why real confidence isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. 

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing it all wrong, this episode will remind you that you’re not behind, you’re becoming.

The Confidence Price Tag: What Raising Your Doula Rates Really Teaches You With Kaely Harrod Raising your doula rates...oh my!

When you decide to charge more, you’re declaring: I believe in my value. I trust my impact. I’m ready to lead with confidence. And that shift is just as important as the numbers in your birth business bank account.

In this episode of Loudmouth Lisa, I interview Kaely Harrod, and we dive deep into the money mindset that keeps doulas undercharging and overworking, and the transformation that happens when you finally own your worth. 

You’ll learn:

  • Why pricing is about identity, not math
  • The myths that keep doulas stuck (and how to bust them)
  • How raising your rates actually makes you a stronger leader and advocate
  • The ripple effect sustainable pricing creates for your business and the families you serve
  • The power of building packages around your unique gifts, not what “everyone else” is doing

Because here’s the truth: raising your rates isn’t greedy, it’s leadership. It’s sustainability. It’s the difference between burnout and building a business that actually lasts.

❤️ If you’re ready to step into the CEO version of yourself and confidently charge what you’re worth, listen in.

 ✨ Sales skills that feel like advocacy, not pressure
 ✨ A mapped-out client journey that creates repeat income and referrals
 ✨ Simple, repeatable messaging that books clients on autopilot

The doulas you see crushing it—booking dream clients, stacking their income with virtual offers, and still having energy left for their families? They’re not luckier, more certified, or magically special. The only difference is… they’ve mastered sales.

And now it’s your turn.

We’ll talk about why posting carousels on the stages of labor isn’t enough, how to shift from textbook teaching to emotional connection, and how to use content pillars so you never have to wonder what to post again.

You’ll learn:

  • Why likes and support from peers don’t equal paying clients
  • The exact types of content that attract pregnant women and new moms who are ready to hire you
  • How to share your values, process, and client transformations so mothers see themselves in your care
  • Why storytelling and myth-busting posts make you the go-to doula in your area
  • How to confidently invite clients to book with you (without feeling pushy)

If you’re putting in the effort but still not booking clients, there’s a disconnect—and we’re going to fix it. Because doula marketing is about more than visibility. It’s about connection, conviction, and conversion.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the 3 silent booking killers that keep doulas stuck:

  • Inspiration without invitation (posting pretty content that doesn’t invite a response)
  • Talking to everyone instead of your one (blending in instead of standing out)
  • Hiding your sales process like it’s a secret (confusing clients into doing nothing)

We’ll talk about how to fix each of these mistakes, how to use your content to spark genuine conversations, and why those conversations are the gold standard when it comes to booking clients.

If you’ve been posting consistently and still wondering why no one is saying yes, this episode is your wake-up call, and your roadmap to turning posts into DMs, DMs into consults, and consults into paying clients.

And if your consultations feel like the missing link, grab my life-changing doula resource: 3 Must-Ask Questions To Book Yourself Out

Doula Sales Secrets: How to Follow Up Without Feeling Pushy You know that gut-punch feeling when a consult feels like magic — she’s nodding, laughing, vibing with you — and then… silence. 

No text, no email, just crickets.

If you’ve ever replayed a consult in your head like a crime scene, wondering if you said something wrong or if it was “the price,” this episode is for you.

We’re breaking down why ghosting after a consult hurts so much for doulas (hint: it’s personal, not just business), how to reframe silence so it doesn’t wreck your confidence, and the simple shift that makes following up feel natural instead of desperate.

Because here’s the truth: the real magic of follow-up starts way before the consult ever happens. 

And when you learn how to do it with curiosity and care, it turns ghosting into genuine connection — and connection into clients.

Let It Be Personal: How Sally Hayes Built a Birth Worker Movement by Owning Her Magic {BONUS Episode} The truth? You can have the best offer, the slickest brand, and a killer Instagram feed, but without real relationships, your birth business will feel like pushing a boulder uphill.

In this episode I’m joined by Sally Hayes, founder of Matrikas, to talk about the power of connection in business and birth work, and why competition is the fastest way to burn yourself out.

Sally’s story is a masterclass in building a movement by:

 🤝 Networking without the ick—and turning colleagues into collaborators 

🙌 Lifting as you climb—bringing other women with you instead of guarding the ladder 

💬 Honoring the mentors who believed in you before you believed in yourself 

🌎 Creating impact that ripples far beyond your immediate circle 

💡 Shifting from “me” to “we”—and watching your influence (and client list) explode

We’ll dive into how Sally built Matrikas into a global network by leaning on relationships, celebrating the gifts of other women, and refusing to see anyone as “competition.”

If you’ve ever felt isolated in your business… if you’ve been side-eyeing other birth workers instead of introducing yourself… or if you’re craving a circle of women who pull you higher—this episode will show you exactly what’s possible when you stop going it alone.

Because the real strategy? It’s not algorithms. It’s sisterhood.

🎧 Listen in, then go call that doula, coach, or colleague you’ve been meaning to connect with, you never know what movement you might start together.

  • What most birthworkers get wrong when opening a sales call—and how to fix it today

But if your dream client can’t clearly answer “How do I work with her?”—she won’t.

This final episode in the Booked Out Energy series is a gut-punch of truth—and exactly what you need if mamas keep cheering you on but not hiring you.

We’re talking about The Clarity Gap—the sneaky but destructive sales killer hiding in plain sight in your doula business.
It’s what causes potential clients to love your vibe but scroll right past your offers.
It’s what keeps your doula marketing inspirational… but not profitable.

  • What the clarity gap actually is—and how it shows up in your content, captions, and consults
  • Why your audience might be confused (or overwhelmed) by your offer, even if they love your message
  • How to shift from vague energy into bold, clear doula business messaging that converts
  • Tangible examples of high-converting CTAs, bios, and offer pitches that work without being salesy
  • How to turn your doula Instagram strategy from “educational and admired” to “booked and banked”

Because here’s the deal: clients don’t hire doulas they admire. They hire doulas they understand.

No reply. No payment. No client. Just… silence.

Yeah, we’re going there today. Because chances are, your last consult didn’t flop because of your price, your packages, or your personality.

 It flopped because no one ever taught you how to lead a sales conversation like the powerful, heart-led guide you actually are.

In this spicy breakdown, I’m walking you through the real reasons doulas get ghosted—and more importantly, how to shift into a confident, grounded, and high-converting consult flow that books dream clients on the spot (without feeling fake, pushy, or like you’re begging for the sale).

We’ll cover:

✅ Why your doula content and DMs should pre-sell your value before the consult even happens

 ✅ A simple, soulful consult framework that builds trust and invites a “hell yes”

 ✅ How to confidently ask for the sale without crossing your own boundaries

 ✅ The #1 phrase you need to stop saying that’s costing you clients

If you’re ready to turn consults into contracts, this episode is a must-listen.

🎧 And don’t miss this: I’m going even deeper inside my Booked AF Doula Toolkit 👇

It’s the exact system I teach my coaching clients to go from consult to client with clarity and confidence.

Coming Home: The Messy, Beautiful Evolution of My Brand, My Mission, and My Voice Question for you doula: Ever felt like you’re constantly pivoting, shifting, second-guessing- wondering if you’re evolving… or just unraveling?

In this raw, unfiltered episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the identity crisis so many birth workers and mompreneurs face, but rarely talk about. 

This isn’t a step-by-step branding chat, it’s a reckoning. A reckoning with the pressure to keep up, the fear of confusing your audience, and the shame of not having it all figured out.

If you’ve ever felt like you’ve lost yourself in the noise of shoulds, gurus, and “faster paths to success,” this one’s for you, doula.

This episode is about coming home. To your values. Your voice. Your why.

And if you’ve been wondering what direction the Lisa Vee brand is heading next... this is where it all gets real.

In this candid episode, I tackle the ins and outs of the ARRIVE trial, a groundbreaking study that explored whether inducing labor at 39 weeks reduces complications for both mom and baby.

I break down the findings, debunk common misconceptions, and discuss why a one-size-fits-all approach to induction is never the best choice for every woman.

Learn about the potential benefits and drawbacks of early induction, why the study's results might be misleading, and what other factors can significantly impact birth outcomes.

If you are a pregnant mama who wants to avoid induction, this episode is for you. Understanding the ARRIVE trial will arm you with the knowledge to confidently advocate for your preference against induction.

If this topic gets you pumped up, pretty please rate & review the show on Apple podcast, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

After you review the show, take a screen shot and upload it here. As a thank you I will send you some goodies in the mail (that's snail mail- because how fun!!).

This episode of the Empowered Birth Project tackles the question: What happens when your baby arrives after your estimated due date?

I get into the science behind due dates, revealing why they're more like "guess dates" and how pregnancy timelines can vary.

Here's what you'll learn:

  • How the traditional due date calculation might not be as accurate as you think.
  • The different stages of full-term pregnancy.
  • Factors that can influence how long your pregnancy lasts.
  • The potential risks and benefits of going past your due date.
  • How to have an informed conversation with your healthcare provider about induction and your birthing preferences.
  • Tips for staying calm and positive if your pregnancy extends past your guess date.

**This episode mentions stillbirth in the context of absolute risk and due dates. If you are coping with or healing from loss, my heart is with you. Text SHARE to 741741 if you need support.

You can also find support and compassion here.

Is your pregnancy to-do list a mile long and growing? Are you feeling overwhelmed at the amount you need to get done before baby arrives? I've got you covered. DM me EMPOWERED on Instagram and let's tackle those tasks- FAST!
