"We are cultivating community to support moms Bump & Beyond!" In this week's episode of the Sisters in Loss podcast, we are sitting down with the phenomenal Alexia Doumbouya (pronounced uh-LEK-see-uh DOOM-boy-yah). Alexia is the Founder and President of CocoLife (cocolife.black), an award-winning international speaker, certified Doula, and Childbirth Educator. With a Master's in Organizational Leadership and over 20 years of experience in Healthcare Administration and Public Health, Alexia is a true powerhouse and a leading voice in maternal health advocacy and doula workforce sustainability. Her life-changing work has been recognized by the CDC, March of Dimes, and CVS Health, and she has featured on major platforms including CNN, iHeart Media, and the US Department of Health and Human Services. Alexia's own path to motherhood with her two "Jr. Interns" (ages 14 and 6) was the catalyst for her life's work. Her eldest child was the exact reason she became a doula, and the heavy stories of maternal loss, mental health struggles, and obstetric systemic barriers she witnessed in her community became the driving force behind launching CocoLife. In this episode, Alexia shares how building a strong, faith-based village and growing in community allowed her to boldly walk into the purpose God called on her life. We discuss how she is actively bridging the gap between clinical healthcare and community-based doula support to save lives. In this episode, we discuss: Alexia's transition from public health administration to hands-on doula advocacy. How her 14-year-old inspired her to step into birth work. The birth of CocoLife and how it supports mothers from the "Bump & Beyond." The critical need for maternal health equity and sustainable doula workforces. The resources that keep her anchored, including Dr. Anita Phillips' The Garden Within, Dr. Cindy Trimm's Command Your Morning, and her indispensable village. If you are a birth worker, an advocate, or a mother looking to build a stronger village, Alexia's words will ignite your spirit and inspire you to walk boldly in your own calling.

Trauma therapist, pastor, and bestselling author Dr. Anita Phillips brings both clinical insight and biblical clarity to a conversation the Church desperately needs. Drawing from her book, ‘The Garden Within', she unpacks how God designed our inner world like a literal garden — where words become seeds, emotions shape the soil, thoughts grow like plants, and our lives bear fruit from whatever has taken root within us. Together, Dr. Anita and Rebecca explore why emotions are more than just feelings, how trauma rewires the brain and reshapes our beliefs, what scripture actually says about mental health, forgiveness, and why inner healing requires more than simply “thinking better thoughts.” This is a rich, eye-opening conversation for anyone longing to cultivate healing, wholeness, and emotional freedom in Christ.

Sis, what happens when God calls you to do the very thing you said you'd never do? In this heartfelt conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts and Dr. Anita Phillips get transparent about friendship, obedience, and the cost of saying yes when it changes everything. From unexpected callings to public pressure, they unpack what it means to follow God into unfamiliar territory, redefine identity after loss, and keep showing up when you feel fragile. It's funny, honest, and deeply spiritual—the kind of conversation that reminds you that obedience isn't about being perfect; it's about being dependent. So if you've been wrestling with God's instructions or trying to rebuild after a "yes" that shook your whole world, this one's for you.

When the pressure is on, do you shut down or shine up? In this powerful convo, Sarah Jakes Roberts sits with Dr. Sarah Elizabeth Lewis and Dr. Anita Phillips to talk creativity, the gift of failure, and how to separate your work from your worth. They unpack why dreaming can feel risky right now, how to handle pressure without losing your identity, and what it means to build on what broke. From "turning heat into light" to seeing art as a path toward justice, this episode will meet you where it hurts and remind you there is purpose in your process. If you've been grieving a job loss, navigating a creative dry spell, or questioning your next move, press play and get language, wisdom, and courage for the season you're in.

In “Seeds of Faith,” Dr. Anita Phillips teaches us a powerful truth: our hearts are soil, and both the seeds we receive and the seeds we plant in others matter deeply. When our hearts are ready to receive God's Word, the Word begins to shape how we see and respond to the world around us.  Fear isn't the real enemy of faith—sight is. What we see will always try to challenge what we know! When we obey God, we discover that He wants us to be active participants in creating the abundant life He is calling us to.  God never intended for us to be paralyzed by anxiety or stuck second-guessing His will. He wants us to live fully—bold, confident, and anchored in His Word! Thank you for partnering with Social Dallas!
