What if success wasn't measured by titles, status, or income alone?What if true success was measured by fulfillment, purpose, compassion, presence, and the impact we leave on others?In this special Doulagivers Graduate Spotlight episode, we are honored to introduce Yasmeen Fatima—author, Certified Doulagiver, and a beautiful example of what becomes possible when we follow the quiet calling of the heart.Yasmeen completed her Doulagivers training in 2020 and has since dedicated her work to one of the most tender and sacred spaces imaginable: supporting children and families facing grief, loss, and end-of-life experiences.Suzanne recently had the opportunity to meet Yasmin in person while speaking at a conference in Guatemala, and the connection was a powerful reminder that this work transcends borders, languages, and cultures. It is a universal calling to show up for one another in our most vulnerable moments.In this heartfelt conversation, Yasmeen shares how the Doulagivers training transformed not only her professional path, but her life itself. She speaks about the courage it takes to follow your purpose, the unexpected gifts that emerge when you do, and why supporting children through grief is some of the most meaningful work she has ever known.As an author, Yasmeen has also created beautiful resources to support families navigating loss, including her book Heaven Starts Here: A Children's Guide to Grief—a compassionate and much-needed guide that helps children understand, process, and move through grief with love and support.This episode is part of our ongoing Doulagivers Graduate Spotlight Series, where we celebrate graduates who are bringing the teachings of compassion, community care, sacred dying, sacred grieving, and sacred living into the world in unique and powerful ways.Because success today is being redefined.Success is living in alignment with your values.Success is sharing your gifts.Success is answering the call to serve.Success is leaving the world a little better than you found it.And Yasmeen Fatima is doing exactly that.In This Episode:Yasmeen's journey into the Doulagivers training in 2020How following her heart changed the direction of her lifeThe sacred work of supporting children and families through griefWhy pediatric grief support is so deeply needed todayThe impact of compassionate end-of-life and grief educationYasmeen's books and resources for children experiencing lossWhat true success means in a world hungry for purpose and connectionHow one person's calling can create a ripple effect of healing for countless othersAbout Yasmeen FatimaYasmeen Fatima is a Certified Doulagiver, author, and compassionate advocate for children and families navigating grief and loss.
