      The Power of In-Person Events for Doulas - Retreats, Summits, and Putting Yourself in the Room with Doula Darcy & Jodi Congdon
      Feb 21 2026
      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.

    • "Must Be Nice" - A Mindset Shift That Changed Everything

      "Must Be Nice" - A Mindset Shift That Changed Everything
      Jan 19 2026

      In this episode, I'm coming to you from sunny Clearwater, Florida a few days ahead of The Birthworker Retreat. I share the behind-the-scenes of how I intentionally designed this event (and my life!) to match my personal needs and seasonal rhythms. From walks on the beach and hotel massages to the mindset shifts that took me from burnt-out martyr to thriving doula business owner, I walk you through how this lifestyle didn't happen by accident. It happened by methodical design.

      I'm breaking down how you, too, can start aligning your business with the life you truly want, starting with small, sacred decisions.

      What You'll Learn:

      • Why I intentionally arrive early to events I host (and how it changes everything)

      • How I turned my desire for winter sunshine into a business opportunity

      • The key mindset shift that helped me move from martyrdom to empowerment

      • Tiny ways to care for yourself as a business owner and mom

      • How every "yes" is also a "no" - and how to choose wisely

      • Encouragement to stop resenting others and start building what you want
