Episode Summary:
In this inspiring episode of The Doula Darcy Podcast, I sit down with Christine Rogers of Draw Near Doula in Alaska. Christine started her doula business as a side hustle while managing her family's bakery, never imagining it could become her full-time career—let alone a six-figure business. But through confidence-building, strategic growth, and the support of My Doula Village, she has transformed her passion into a thriving business.
We dive into:
✅ Christine’s journey from charging $500 per birth to $2,600 per birth
✅ Overcoming the fear of raising prices and recognizing her worth
✅ How community and coaching helped her push past self-doubt
✅ The power of networking, consistency, and taking action—even when unsure
✅ How building her business has impacted her family, inspiring her kids to pursue their own entrepreneurial dreams
If you've ever wondered whether your doula business could be more than a side gig, this episode will give you the motivation (and the roadmap) to make it happen!
