Episode 17: Authentic Listening, Empowered Birth & Building a Purpose-Driven Business with Ursula

In this episode of the Six Figure Chicks Podcast, host Mel C sits down with fellow Six Figure Chick Ursula Sabia Sukinik, founder of Birth You Desire, for a powerful, no-fluff conversation about advocacy, authenticity, and building a business rooted in deep care.

Ursula is a birth worker supporting families through fertility, pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum—and her company, Birth You Desire, is a multi-state doula collaborative serving clients nationally and internationally with evidence-based, compassionate care.

In this condensed 15-minute episode, Mel and Ursula explore:

• How COVID reshaped the birth world and the role of doulas
• Re-establishing trust with healthcare systems during crisis
• Why authentic listening is the most important business skill
• Using social media to educate, demystify birth, and amplify client voices
• Turning lived challenges into deeper empathy and leadership

Ursula also shares her experience as a contributing author in the Six Figure Chicks collaboration, the confidence she gained through publishing, and why waiting for the “perfect time” often holds women back from their next level.

This episode is a reminder that powerful businesses are built through presence, passion, and the courage to show up imperfectly—but authentically.

Tune in for real talk, big purpose, and inspiration that goes far beyond strategy.
