A Hybrid Business Model for Doulas with Darcy Sauers

On this episode of the Becoming a Sleep Consultant Podcast, I’m joined by Doula Darcy, who helps birth and postpartum professionals build sustainable, freedom-filled businesses they truly love. I was inspired to record this conversation with Darcy after I came across a post she shared online that said:“Being a doula is heart-centered work, but it shouldn’t cost you your health, family time, or financial stability.” That message stopped me in my tracks because I see it all the time — doulas who adore their work but are exhausted by the long hours and the unpredictable on-call lifestyle. In this conversation, Darcy explains why the traditional, in-person-only model just isn’t sustainable long term, and how her Hybrid Doula Business Model is helping doulas earn more, work less, and find balance again. We discussed: ✨ Why only taking in-person clients can lead to burnout ✨ How sleep consulting fits perfectly into the hybrid business model for doulas ✨ The mindset shifts needed to create more freedom and stability ✨ Darcy’s best advice for doulas who want to make a change If you’ve been looking for a way to continue supporting families while creating a bit more balance and freedom in your work, you’ll really enjoy this episode.
