Birthing Businesses are Booming with Doula Agency Owner, Jodi Cogdon

Author: Katie Grimes October 15, 2025 Duration: 56:22

For every woman who's ever wondered if she could build a business around her passion and scale it beyond what she thought was possible.

I'm joined by Jodi Condjon, founder of a thriving doula agency and a business coach helping other birth professionals do the same.

We dive into how Jodi grew not just one but two booming businesses, the challenges she's faced along the way, and how she's redefining what's possible in the birth and business world.

We talk about the mindset, strategy, and soul work behind building a purpose-driven business and how Jodi balances entrepreneurship with the deeply personal work of birth support.

We cover:

  • How Jodi built a successful doula agency from the ground up — and why it's thriving.

  • What inspired her to launch a second business coaching other birth professionals.

  • The biggest mindset shifts that helped her go from burnout to booming.

  • How to scale a business in a deeply personal, service-based industry.

  • Her best advice for women ready to grow a business rooted in purpose and impact.

Whether you're a doula, a coach, or just dreaming of starting something new, this episode is packed with wisdom and encouragement for building a business that booms without burning out.
