In this episode, Darcy invites you behind the scenes for a candid, inspiring look at how she blends her life and her business — and why it’s essential for every doula (and entrepreneur) to stop separating the two.

She shares her recent experiences at a transformative mastermind retreat and live event with her business coach, the power of stepping away to work on your business (not just in it), and the profound impact of treating yourself with care and respect.

Darcy reminds us that self-care isn’t selfish — it’s strategic. Whether it’s savoring your morning coffee, booking a massage, or committing to a business retreat, these investments in yourself ripple into every corner of your life and work. She challenges you to schedule micro and macro moments of care, joy, and reflection into your calendar — because when you thrive, your business thrives.

Darcy also shares details about upcoming opportunities to join her, including the Maine Doula Retreat and the Birth Worker Retreat in Clearwater, Florida, in January 2026 — the ultimate chance to reset, recharge, and set powerful intentions for the new year.
