The Six-Figure Doula: For career birth workers building sustainable, high-income businesses
For the doula or perinatal pro who knows this work changes lives and deserves to pay well.
For the woman who’s done undercharging, overgiving, and second-guessing herself.
For the one who’s ready to build a sustainable, profitable business without selling her soul or burning herself out.
On The Six Figure Doula Podcast, we talk about the conversations most doulas avoid:
- Money, pricing, and premium offers
- Sales without pressure, manipulation, or bro-marketing
- Building visibility & magnetic marketing that actually attracts aligned clients
- Leadership, identity, and the mindset shifts required to grow
- Simplifying your business instead of piling on more noise
This isn’t a podcast about doing more.
It’s about doing less- better.
You won’t find hustle culture here.
You won’t find watered-down social media advice or “try this trend” strategies.
And you definitely won’t find permission to stay small.
You’ll find honest reflections, real sales strategy, and direct conversations about what it actually takes to become a booked-out, confident, well-paid doula.
This podcast is for you if:
- You want premium clients who respect your work
- You’re ready to sell with integrity and certainty
- You’re done explaining or justifying your prices
- You want freedom, not chaos disguised as “passion”
- You’re all-in on building something that lasts
If you’re looking for comfort, this isn’t it.
If you’re looking for clarity, conviction, and a business that supports your life-
you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The Six Figure Doula Podcast.
Let’s build something real.

83. What Doula Training Leaves Out (and Families Pay For) with Krystil Hofsky
What happens when your own birth cracks you wide open...and you can’t unsee the system ever again?
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Krystil Hofsky, founder of Innerbloom Doula Institute, to talk about the moments that fundamentally changed how she trusted herself, how she mothered, and how she understood power inside birth spaces.
Krystil shares how her son’s birth rerouted her entire life, pulling her out of corporate sales and into a deeper reckoning with autonomy, consent, responsibility, and what advocacy actually demands of doulas. We go there: the uncomfortable truths about modern birth, the gaps in traditional doula training, and why being “well-intentioned” is no longer enough.
We talk about:
- How motherhood forces identity death, and why resisting it keeps women stuck
- Why the doula role has to evolve right now if outcomes are going to change
- The internal skills that separate competent doulas from exceptional ones
- What most doula trainings miss when it comes to discernment, authority, and leadership
- Why Krystil built the training she wished existed, and who it’s really for
This conversation is honest, confronting, and deeply validating for anyone who’s felt the quiet tension between what they were taught and what they know in their body.
If you’re a doula, birth worker, or woman who feels the weight of responsibility and wants to rise to it, this episode will hit.
