Join us on this enlightening episode of the Ask The Nurses Podcast as we welcome a remarkable guest who transitioned from an academic focus on midwifery legislation to becoming a passionate and practicing midwife. Our guest's journey began in graduate school, where she delved into the legislation surrounding midwifery and mothers' childbirth choices. As she immersed herself in the world of pregnancy and birth, she discovered the pervasive control exerted by the state and the medical establishment over these natural processes.

Driven by a desire to enact change, she embraced the 'birth bug' and teamed up with Maryn for various birth-related adventures starting in 2011, including two of her own home births. Since 2016, she has been dedicated to empowering women as a practicing midwife. Tune in to hear her inspiring story, the challenges she faced, and her insights on how we can reclaim the elemental forces of pregnancy and childbirth for a more empowering and autonomous birthing experience.

Don't miss this episode filled with passion, knowledge, and a call to action for all those advocating for better birth choices and maternal care!
