Starting at the Ending: Death and Birth Doula Maggie Walker talks about the beauty of life and her journey from losing her mother to becoming a birth doula - and discovering what she’s truly meant to do.

I’m so happy you’re here with me. And I’m so darn happy to be back. It’s been a little while since I’ve been here with you but I promise it’s for a really really exciting reason. I’ve been traveling to Europe every month since November and will continue to do so for a while. And there are 2 very big reasons why that’s happening. And 2 very big reasons why this is good news for you. First I’m going to let you in on a secret. Dr William Li is a new friend of mine and one of the most incredible humans I’ve ever met. I know most of you know Dr. Li. He is changing the world by changing the way we understand food and how it affects our bodies from a scientific medical point of view…and he’s showing us how LOVING our food can change our health. In November I went to London to present to Dr. Li’s Angiogenesis Foundation about being an outlier and how food has been part of my life saving story.I am acting as an advocacy ambassador for the Angiogenesis Foundation which means I will be sharing brand new, top tier life saving information with you about what foods you add to your diet can fight and prevent disease. The second reason I’ve been going to Europe monthly is to see Dr. Saskia Biskup, my hero, and to get a new vaccine. This is a prophylactic vaccine like we all got as babies to prevent mumps and polio but it’s customized to prevent me from getting the other cancers that have been passed down to me in my genes. I’m so incredibly grateful to be getting a new dose of the superpower that I know is helping keep me alive. And to be the test person for this treatment that I truly believe will be the future of cancer treatment for all of you - in combination with lifestyle, a vaccine like this could actually prevent you or your kids from every getting cancer. You guys, I say cancer saved my life. And it did. I wasn’t truly living until I was told I was going to die. That’s why I’d never go back. I’d choose this bright, beautiful version of life, even if it’s scary, even if it’s shorter, than the one I was living before. And I want the same for all of you - but ideally without the cancer wake up call. I’m sure all of you have been touched by cancer in some way, either yourself or someone you love, but I am here to help you live BETTER and without fear and fully present and in love with your life. I can’t think of a better person to help demonstrate the beauty of living truly in the present than my guest today. Someone who lives in the Netherlands but now I get to see nearly every month! Maggie Walker is a Birth Doula Postpartum Doula and Death Doula. And she is love personified. Caregiving is the core of her existence and the way she holds space for those in that magical liminal space between the here an the infinite … is so moving. I know you’re going to be filled with awe and inspired to love your life after listening to this conversation.

I don’t know if you’re here because you’ve gotten a tough diagnosis or someone you love has - or if you just want to learn more about how to feel empowered to change your story and find purpose in your life. But I’m glad you’re here. If I can beat a universally deadly cancer and live a better, happier life, truly grateful for my cancer wake up call, I know the tools I’ve learned will help you too.
