She is! And this week, she's sharing encouragement and practical tips for introverted doulas. She explains how introverts recharge alone, why she books her own hotel room at events to decompress and rest early, and how learning about introversion (including the book Quiet) reduced her guilt and helped her plan downtime. Drawing on early career networking at Chamber of Commerce events and later building her postpartum doula business, she emphasizes that networking and marketing become easier when you lean into your passion for doula work, schedule quiet breaks (even 15 minutes), and let passion override fear. She invites introvert doulas to reach out and notes introvert challenges in postpartum and birth settings.

With her team of postpartum doulas handling the day-to-day in person clients, Darcy spends her time and energy helping other doulas grow & scale their businesses with a focus on sustainability and not burning themselves out. Prior to having her own 3 children and becoming doula, Darcy worked for 10 years in the advertising and marketing world. She was able to replace her corporate income quicker than most new doulas because of her previous career & expertise. Darcy now uses this experience to help other doulas build their own thriving practices.
