Today I'm joined by Lizzie Bolliger (aka Fierce Lizzie), founder of Unmedicated Academy , to talk about what it really takes to build an online offer as a birth worker. We cover: How Lizzie went from high school math teacher to full-time online childbirth educator The truth about \"passive income\" (and why marketing never stops) Why most doulas never finish the digital course they start The burnout that comes from only trading hours for dollars And a done-for-you way to add childbirth education to your business Lizzie now works about 15 hours a week, homeschools her 3 kids, earns what she used to as a full-time teacher, and helps doulas license her comprehensive childbirth curriculum instead of building their own from scratch. If you're craving a hybrid doula business model, one that gives you more freedom, flexibility, and income, this conversation will open your eyes to what's possible. 👉 Grab Lizzie's free curriculum licensing guide here .
