No one births alone. Whether surrounded by loved ones, guided by trusted care, or held by a doula’s compassion, every birth story is woven with support.

When we honor birth as a sacred passage, we also honor the mother—her strength, her worth, her transformation.

Who made (or will make) you feel most supported during birth? Share below—we’d love to hear your story.

Postpartum is more than just sleepless nights and diaper changes.

Sometimes, the hardest part is realizing you might need more support than you thought.

Signs you could benefit from extra postpartum support:

• You feel overwhelmed most days.
• Rest doesn’t actually leave you feeling rested.
• Feeding challenges feel heavier than expected.
• You’re carrying the weight of recovery, baby care, and emotions—alone.
• You find yourself thinking, “I should be handling this better.”

The truth? You don’t need to “handle it better.”

You need support. And that’s not weakness.

That’s wisdom.

Whether it’s help with meals, a safe space to talk, or professional guidance, leaning on others can be the most loving choice for both you and your baby.

We prepare so carefully for birth… yet so little for death.

Through the Eyes of a Death Doula is a new documentary shining light on the end of life—through the voices of death doulas and the families they serve.

This film asks us to face what so often goes unspoken:

How do we want to live in our final days?
What choices do we have?
And how can dignity, love, and presence shape our last chapter?

It’s not just a film about death; it’s a call to reflect on how we live, love, and ultimately let go.

We’re proud to support this project because we believe that talking about death is not morbid—it’s deeply human.

The filmmakers need your help to bring this story to life.

Your contribution will help spread death literacy, honor the work of doulas, and remind us all that death, like birth, deserves care and compassion.

Donate today or share this post to be part of changing how we talk about—and experience—the end of life.

In this reel, the director of the Death Doula Documentary shares why Tari’s story is so powerful: her courage, her pride in all she had accomplished, and the presence of death doulas who walked beside her and her family at the end of life.

In her final days, Tari invited filmmakers into her home—not to focus on her dying, but to celebrate her living.

This film isn’t just about loss. It’s about dignity, love, and the kind of support that makes every moment matter.

We believe Tari’s story deserves to be told and believe whole heartedly in the producers of this film. Together we can make this documentary come to life!

We’re looking forward to your support by donating through the fundraiser link in in the comment section!

As we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Michel Odent (1930–2025), a French obstetrician who spent his life advocating for undisturbed, respectful birth, we reflect on his quote:

”Experiences have clearly shown that an approach which 'de-medicalizes' birth, restores dignity and humanity to the process of childbirth, and returns control to the mother is also the safest approach.”

He reminded the world that childbirth is not something to be managed, but something to be trusted — a sacred process where dignity, humanity, and a mother’s voice must come first. His pioneering work continues to inspire birth workers and families everywhere.

At Global Doula Project, we carry this vision forward — standing beside mothers, protecting their choices, and ensuring they never walk this journey alone.

We’re honored to be one of the proud sponsors of the Wombs of the World Summit happening this October 15–17 in Berlin. 🇩🇪

For three days, birthworkers, healers, and visionaries from across the globe will gather to:

❤️ Share ancestral knowledge and current best practices in birth support
❤️ Participate in healing ceremonies and workshops
❤️ Build meaningful connections across cultures and communities

This summit is more than a conference.

It’s a weaving together of wisdom, compassion, and the shared vision that every birthing person deserves sacred, informed, and loving support.

Will you be joining in Berlin?

Birth is sacred work and it was never designed to be carried on your shoulders alone.

Every person who shows up for you in that moment—whether it’s a partner who whispers “you’ve got this,” a doula who holds space for your strength, or a midwife who offers gentle guidance—makes a difference.

Your birth team isn’t just “extra help.”

They are reminders that you don’t have to do this by yourself.

We’d love to hear from you ⬇️
Who was (or who will be) the most supportive person on your birth team?

We’re building something new, and we need your input!

The Global Doula Training Directory is on its way. It’s a step toward visibility, equity, and long-overdue recognition for doula training in all its forms.

Born from conversations with our community, this digital tool will map doula training programs around the world. It will include everything from culturally specific grassroots efforts to established institutions. The goal is to help aspiring doulas find the path that fits them and to help funders, policymakers, and insurers recognize the full spectrum of quality doula training.

We are now in the planning stages and we want to hear from the people who know this work best!

🗓️ Join us for a series of stakeholder virtual listening sessions:

SESSION 1: September 15, 2025 at 12 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)
SESSION 2: October 15, 2025 at 12 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Your insight will help shape a directory that truly reflects the diversity, values, and needs of our doula community.

📌 We want to know:
- What would you want from a training directory?
- What features would make it useful, trustworthy, or inspiring?
- What gaps need to be named and navigated?

Leave a comment or DM us to get an invite.

You can also follow us for more updates! See you there!

The silent work of postpartum isn’t always visible.

But it’s felt—in every sleepless night, every tiny task, every sacrifice you carry quietly.

You don’t have to do it all alone.

Your unseen efforts are not small. They are love in action.

Share this to a parent who needs to hear it.

Support after loss is vital. Whether it’s a listening ear….

Loss changes more than the absence of a loved one.

It can shift your friendships, take away routines that once grounded you, and leave you searching for pieces of your identity.

These “secondary losses” are often invisible to others—but they are real, and they matter.

That’s why support after loss is so vital. Whether it’s a listening ear, a steady presence, or a community that understands, we can help carry what’s too heavy to hold alone.

If someone in your life is grieving, remember: they may be carrying more than you can see. Reach out. Stay close. Your support can be a lifeline.

What can the West learn about birth from cultures that face some of the highest rates of infant mortality in the world?

In this week’s episode, Doula Anne speaks with Charlotte Brielle, founder of Wombs of the World, about what she’s learned from working alongside birth workers in Tanzania, South Africa, and Ecuador.

It’s a conversation about loss, resilience, and the deep wisdom found in traditions that center women and community through birth and postpartum.

We talk about:

❤️ What matrescence means, and why supporting it benefits all of society
❤️ The power of rituals and cultural practices around birth
❤️ Tools for supporting families through perinatal loss
❤️ How global collaboration can strengthen maternal care everywhere

It’s tender, eye-opening, and a call to action for a more compassionate, culturally aware approach to maternal health.

Episode drops Thursday. Follow the podcast so you don’t miss it. Link in bio.

CONTENT WARNING: this episode contains extensive discussion of infant loss.
