Are you Ever Going to Actually Use That Certification?
How many certifications do you have? Are you using them?? I say this with all the kindness in the world: STOP collecting certifications until you use the ones you have! Learn to perfect your work as doula and stop validating yourself with new teachings and certifications. Take a break, look at what you already do or can do well, and then lean into that before you pay for another training or certification.
Quote from the show:
“I recently found that the number of doulas I know who have some kind of amazing certification that they literally have never used is shocking to me, like truly shocking to me. And I think there's a couple of different reasons for this. And I totally understand if you get a certification and then you're like, hmm, I don't think I'm going to actually use that thing. Like that service I actually don't want to do, that makes sense, right? That I have a lot of compassion for. I have a lot of understanding for. If you have a certification and you're actually like, I don't use the certification because I just don't take the time to use it. Like I just haven't set up the slides or I haven't like set up the class structure. I haven't like put it out there for people to hire. That my friend is holding you back, holding your business back.”
