When “Just Showing Up” Isn’t Enough: Silent Doula Sales Killer #3

You’ve got the certifications. The passion. The experience. The heart.
You know you’re a damn good doula.

This episode is for the birthworker who's tired of playing small online.
The postpartum doula who’s done watching less-experienced peers book out while she hides in plain sight.
The passionate doula business owner who’s ready to be seen—but afraid of being “too much.”

Let’s change that.

Inside this powerful conversation, we break down:

💥 What quiet confidence looks like in your doula content strategy (and how it might be sabotaging your growth)
💥 Why “staying humble” keeps you invisible to your ideal clients
💥 How to embody leadership energy that builds trust and converts without being salesy
💥 Real talk on what it actually means to show up boldly in your doula marketing
💥 4 tangible ways to make your presence magnetic online—starting this week

Whether you're struggling with visibility, pricing, or how to get doula clients on Instagram… this episode will light a fire in you.

Because here’s the truth:

👉 Clients don’t hire who knows the most. They hire who they feel the most.

And if your quiet brilliance isn’t being felt?
It’s not your fault—but it is your responsibility to shift.

If you’ve been showing up, doing the “right” things, and still feeling like nothing is clicking—this episode is for you.

Why That Doula Consult Flopped—And What to Do Differently Next Time

Ever finish a doula consult thinking, “That went amazing!”—only to get ghosted?

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.
