 The Power of In-Person Events for Doulas - Retreats, Summits, and Putting Yourself in the Room with Doula Darcy & Jodi Congdon We're trying something new and doing a joint podcast episode of The Doula Darcy Podcast and The Birth Boss Podcast today! In this episode, Darcy & Jodi discuss why in-person events are a powerful catalyst for business growth, mindset shifts, and community in the doula world. They share their first experiences attending doula conferences (including DONA International and CAPPA) and describe the motivation, connection, and expanded vision that comes from being face-to-face with others who share the same passion and/or who are achieving at a higher level. They talk about investing in yourself as an investment in your business, how even "bad" events offer valuable lessons, and why hosting events can be a core part of building a sustainable business. The conversation includes how they created the Birth Worker Retreat in Clearwater, Florida after realizing doulas needed marketing and business-focused gatherings, how the retreat evolved over the years, and the impact they've seen in returning attendees' progress. They also highlight the value of honest feedback from peers, built-in free time for deeper conversations (including "hot tub networking"), and the importance of doulas hosting local in-person meetups.
