Join us for a joy-filled episode of the Doula Darcy Podcast, recorded live from the Maine Doula Retreat hosted exclusively for members of My Doula Village.

Doulas from across the country share what it’s like to step away from daily responsibilities and immerse themselves in three rejuvenating days by the ocean in Maine. Hear candid reflections on burnout, sisterhood, business breakthroughs, and the magic that happens when like-minded caregivers gather in person.

Whether you're a doula, a birth worker, or a solo entrepreneur, this episode will inspire you to prioritize rest, connection, and real support in your professional journey. Get a glimpse of the clarity, creativity, and soul-fueling energy that only retreats like this can provide.

In This Episode, You'll Hear:

• What it's really like to retreat with your doula colleagues

• Why community is essential to avoiding burnout

• How in-person connections amplify business growth
