Is the term ‘Doula’ new to you. It was for me.
Let’s find out more today! Here’s part ONE of the blog post today.
This video is simply a tidbit of what our interview included. Marcy McDonald shares her knowledge as one of only 40 Internationally accredited End of Life Doulas. She has the most amazing story of how this came to be. She even brought me to tears at the end.
Isn’t that a definition of knowing you’re in the right calling, following your PURPOSE, when telling your WHY impacts those listening?
More of the interview will be included in my 1st of the next month’s ‘Changing Lives with Hope & Health’ newsletter and all my interviews, in entirety, are archived on my Community Page.

Part TWO
Many of you know, I’ve been devoted to a ‘passion project’ for over a year now, ‘Compassion in Action’ learning and supporting those around me who are grieving, and then sharing those tools with you.
It’s to support those AROUND the grieving folks, so we can do a better job of serving these folks. More recently, I’ve been asked to be a speaker on a 5 day Speaking Series (Nov 7-11) called, Healing Through the Holidays After Suicide Loss. My segment is Nov 9th. If you know of anyone who is dreading the holidays because they or their family are experiencing this – please send them this link to attend for free. Marvelous help and amazing encouragement for all those who are dreading the holidays.
It’s a heavy topic so it is even more important to have helpful caring folks who can impart knowledge. Here’s the invite below, but I’d encourage registering right away to grab a seat.
***If you’re feeling sad and anxious about the upcoming Holidays, or you know folks who’ve lost a loved one to suicide then I encourage you to sign up for the Healing Through the Holidays After Suicide Loss interview series. My friend Caro Brookings handpicked 20+ top experts, authors and support providers from the suicide grief and loss space for this free interview series on how to get through the celebrations with peace and joy, create new traditions to honor your loved one and keep their memory alive. ***
