Raising your doula rates isn’t just about charging more. It’s about confidence, boundaries, and stepping into your worth. Learn how pricing your doula services with confidence transforms both your business and your identity.

Discover the three keys to building a sustainable doula business: sales skills, a mapped-out client journey, and simple messaging that converts. Learn how to book dream clients and grow your birth business with confidence.

Struggling to book doula clients? Learn why consults aren’t job interviews, how to stand out authentically, and the 3 must-ask questions that turn conversations into signed contracts.

Most doulas are treating consults like job interviews...asking surface-level questions that check boxes but don’t build trust. 

The result? Ghosting, awkward goodbyes, and “we went with someone else” messages that sting.

In this episode, I’m breaking down the swaps that change everything: the exact questions that turn consults from polite to powerful. You’ll hear how to shift from logistics to emotion, from proving yourself to actually being chosen, and from uncertainty to confident closes.

But here’s the truth: this is just one slice of what I teach. Inside Sell to Serve, I walk you through my full 8-week framework for consults, objections, DMs, follow-ups, and the exact sales psychology that took me from fumbling to fully booked.

And right now? The doors are open—but only until Monday 9/29 at midnight. After that, they slam shut. If you’ve been nodding along thinking, “I need this,” don’t wait. This is your moment to finally stop guessing, stop second-guessing, and start booking dream clients on repeat.

Are you posting your heart out on Instagram, only to hear crickets when it comes to actual inquiries? You’re not alone. 

In this episode of Loudmouth Lisa, I’m breaking down why so many doulas get stuck in the hamster wheel of “show up daily or disappear” — and why that doesn’t book you clients.

You’ll learn the exact reframe that shifted everything for me, the 3 C’s of sales-driven content that actually move moms from scrolling to saying yes, and how to turn your posts from educational noise into powerful, story-driven connection that builds trust.

If you’ve ever felt like your IG feed is full but your calendar is empty, this one’s for you. 

Are you a birth worker who's pouring your hearts into consults—only to hear crickets after? 

You show up, connect, listen, and feel that deep spark of this is why I became a doula… but then silence. Or worse, a polite “we went with another doula.”

In this episode of Loudmouth Lisa, I’m breaking down exactly why ghosting doesn’t start after the consult—it starts before. 

You’ll learn how to set the tone before a consultation, how to lead (not linger) during the call, and how to keep her engaged afterward so she feels safe, guided, and ready to say yes.

Because ghosting isn’t rejection—it’s a leadership gap. And once you close that gap? You’ll start closing clients and turning inquiries into contracts.

Learn how to confidently handle doula price objections, stop losing clients at consults, and book dream clients with ease in this Loudmouth Lisa episode for Birth Workers.

Are you tired of posting doula content that only gets likes from other birth workers instead of inquiries from pregnant and postpartum clients? 

You’re showing up, posting, and trying to stay consistent—but the only people hyping you up in the comments are other doulas. And let’s be real: doulas don’t pay your bills.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to create doula content that actually converts followers into clients. 

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.

You’re showing up. You’re posting every day. You’ve got the passion, the energy, the captions, the reels… and yet...your calendar is still wide open.

Sound familiar?

Here’s the hard truth: consistency without clarity just makes you the unpaid educator of Instagram. Your content might inspire, but if it’s not starting conversations, it’s not converting.

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.

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.

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.

You’re posting. You’re showing up with heart. You know your support changes lives.

So why aren’t the mamas watching you on Instagram actually hiring you?

Here’s the uncomfortable truth most doulas don’t want to hear:
 It’s not your content.
 It’s not your heart.
 It’s that you’re not actually asking for the sale.

This episode is your gentle (but firm) doula kick in the birthy booty to stop dancing around your offers and start confidently inviting clients in. We’re diving deep into:

– The 3 biggest content mistakes keeping your dream clients stuck in lurker-land
 – How to lead like a pro (without sounding pushy or weird)
 – The simple phrases you need to practice out loud today to finally close the gap between “I love your vibe” and “Where do I sign?”

Plus—if you’re listening in real time—I’ve got a 🔥 live workshop coming up where we’ll practice it together. I’ll drop all the details at the end.

Your voice matters. Your offer is powerful. Let’s make sure your people know how to say yes.

Have you ever wondered why that consult felt amazing… but still didn’t lead to a yes?

Here’s the truth most doulas never hear:
 You’re not losing the sale at the end of the call.
 You’re losing it in the first two minutes.

In this episode, we’re cracking open the real reason your doula consultations might be falling flat—before you even get to your pricing, your packages, or your process.

Because while you’re asking, “Sooo… tell me about your pregnancy?”
 She’s already deciding whether she trusts you—or whether she’s bouncing.

Here’s what we’re covering:

• Why the first few minutes of a consult determine the outcome of the entire conversation

• The 3-question warm-up script that sets you up as the confident guide (without sounding like a robot)

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

• How to shift from small talk to leadership in a way that feels natural, not pushy

• Why most doulas accidentally make the call feel like therapy (and how to create safety without spiraling into her life story)

This is the consult warm-up strategy that’ll change your entire doula sales game.

The episode that reveals why mamas admire you, but don't hire you...

You’re showing up. You’re posting consistently. You’ve got the passion, the presence, the energy.

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.
And it’s costing you inquiries, bookings, and income every single day.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• 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.

So if you’re tired of watching your content inspire people without getting you paid… this episode is your moment.

You’re showing up. You’re kind. You’re encouraging. Everyone loves your vibe.

You vanish.

• How heart-led doulas accidentally confuse silence with respect
