Self-worth is contagious.

When you invest in yourself, you inspire your clients to do the same

As a seasoned doula, you’ve likely encountered this frustrating truth:

Too many women undervalue their own needs when it comes to hiring a doula. They hesitate to invest in the care and support that could transform their birth and or postpartum experience.

Why? Because deep down, many women struggle with feeling worthy enough to spend money on themselves.

In a society that glorifies self-sacrifice and martyrdom —especially for mothers—investing in their well-being can feel like an indulgence rather than a necessity.

These women often tell themselves:

“I can’t justify the expense; my family needs it more.”
“I should just tough it out like everyone else does.”
“It’s selfish to spend this kind of money on myself.”

But you and I both know the truth: hiring a doula is an investment in more than just a smooth birth or postpartum experience. It’s an investment in their peace of mind, their physical recovery, their emotional well-being, and ultimately, their ability to show up as the best version of themselves for their family.

The Doula Worthiness Dilemma

Here’s the part we don’t always talk about:

this same issue—this *struggle with worthiness**—shows up for us as doulas, too.*

How often have you hesitated to invest in your own growth?

Maybe you’ve told yourself you can’t afford to take that business course or hire a coach
Perhaps you’ve put off self-care, thinking your clients’ needs come first
Or maybe you’ve thought, “I’ll invest in myself later, once I’m earning more.”

If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. It’s the same worthiness struggle we see in our clients, but it’s playing out in our own lives and businesses.

And the truth is, it’s creating an energetic block.

Breaking the Cycle: The Energy of Worthiness

When we, as doulas, don’t feel worthy of investing in ourselves—our education, our growth, our well-being—we unconsciously send a message to potential clients.

Without even realizing it, we project our own hesitations and scarcity mindset, making it harder for clients to feel worthy of investing in themselves by hiring us.

It’s a cycle:

If we undervalue ourselves, clients undervalue our services.
If we hesitate to prioritize our own growth, clients hesitate to prioritize theirs.
If we don’t believe in our own worth, clients won’t believe in it either.

On the flip side, when you invest in yourself, you shift the energy in your business.

You lead by example, showing your clients that self-worth and self-care are not just luxuries—they’re essentials.

You inspire them to value themselves because you’re modeling that value every single day.

So the question is:

are you ready to break the cycle?

The Disconnect That’s Holding You Back

You’ve poured your heart and soul into this work. But now, you feel stuck—like no matter how much you give, you can’t quite break through to the next level in your doula business.

You’re not alone. Many seasoned doulas hit this wall.

Often, the missing piece is simple but profound: investing in yourself.

It could mean taking time for self-care so you can show up with more energy and joy.
It might mean working with a business coach to refine your strategy, expand your reach, and finally grow your income to match your value.
It could mean stepping out of your comfort zone to prioritize your needs just as you ask your clients to prioritize theirs.

Why It’s Time to Prioritize You

If you’re feeling stuck, the truth is this: what got you here won’t get you there.

Breaking through to the next level requires change—new skills, new strategies, and a renewed sense of clarity.

When you invest in yourself, you’re not just improving your life. You’re creating a ripple effect that touches every client you serve.

You’ll inspire confidence. Clients are drawn to doulas who embody self-worth and empowerment.
You’ll serve from abundance. When you care for yourself and refine your business, you avoid burnout and show up with your best energy.
You’ll lead by example. Your clients will see what it looks like to invest in what matters—and they’ll follow your lead.
