In this rich and inspiring conversation, I sit down with Victoria, a doula of sixteen years who is now walking the path of becoming a midwife through the apprenticeship model in the United States. Her story is a beautiful blend of self development, evolution, and sustained passion for birth work. We begin with what first drew her to birth work and how her calling ignited all those years ago. Victoria shares the unfolding of her journey as a doula, how the work shaped her and what it taught her. She shares about her decision to pursue midwifery through apprenticeship and we dive into the birth business side of her story, exploring how she started her business, what those early years were like, and how her offerings have evolved over time. Victoria speaks candidly about her biggest lessons as birth worker and an entrepreneur, and the turning points that helped her refine herself as birth worker and business woman. She shares what she offers today, both in person and online, how her husband became part of her birth business during her postpartum years. This episode is full of grounded wisdom for anyone curious about becoming a doula or midwife and about how to make birth work a long-term, thriving career. Curious about Victoria?
