    The average doula burns out within 2-5 years. But not Allison Coleman. She's been thriving for 26 years! What’s her secret? Boundaries. Crystal clear, unapologetic boundaries.

They also delve into the importance of clear boundaries for sustainable and fulfilling doula careers. The episode emphasizes that having well-defined boundaries enhances both client satisfaction and doula well-being. 00:45 Meet Alison Coleman 01:55 The Importance of Boundaries in Doula Work 03:20 Running a Successful Doula Agency 04:54 Setting Client Expectations and Boundaries 08:53 The Application Process for Clients 16:29 Ensuring a Good Fit: The Interview Process 21:32 Onboarding and Invoicing Process 21:55 Training and Mentorship for Doulas 23:42 Compensation Structure 25:09 Handling Client Issues 26:46 Setting Boundaries with Doulas 30:35 Training Programs and Workshops 33:52 Final Thoughts and Contact Information
