In Episode 9 of Awakened Living, host Yali Giovanni welcomes doulas Tammy and Toya for a raw and heartfelt conversation about the cycles of life, birth and death.
They open up about their own experiences of childbirth and loss, revealing how doulas serve not only as birth companions but also as guides through grief and transition. The episode beautifully explores how presence, listening, and compassion can bring healing where words sometimes cannot.
From advocating for informed choices during labor to holding space for mothers in mourning, Yali, Tammy, and Toya remind us that doulas do more than assist births; they nurture the soul through life’s most powerful passages.
It’s a tender, honest reflection on what it means to show up, with empathy, strength, and grace, for the sacred beginnings and endings of life.
