Dr. Sara Edwards has devoted her 35-year career to transforming nurse-midwifery
research, education, and clinical practice caring for women before, during and after pregnancy and birth. She is also a nurse researcher examining how the mother’s gut microbiome health impacts fetal and maternal health. Over her career, caring for tens of thousands of women and delivering 3000 babies, she noticed that women have frequent issues which she also experienced during her two pregnancies. Issues such as poor sleep, exhaustion, brain fog, rapid weight gain, poor digestion, heightened stress at work and at home, often lead to or coexist with anxiety and depressed mood. She sought to understand this all better, so she began her pioneering research of the maternal brain-gut axis and gestational weight gain in the perinatal population most atrisk, Black women and their infants. This NIH-funded and published research has the power to improve the lives of millions, particularly Black women, who are 3.5 times more
likely to suffer perinatal complications and death compared to U.S. White women.
Throughout 20 years as a clinical professor at Emory University, her work extended to research protocols, educational programs, and multidisciplinary practices worldwide, enhancing the global visibility of nursing science. Her extensive clinical leadership in various practice settings, including as a founding midwife of the Atlanta Birth Center and now in solo practice at Pregnancy and Wellness Maui, together with her academic acumen have informed her work at the state, national and international levels. In Spring 2024, she launched a free preeclampsia screening app she co-designed called Materna BP, available for iOS and android phones. Today, Sara is CEO and founder of Sara Edwards Wellness, an online perinatal health coaching business for women wanting evidence-based support and guidance for an empowered pregnancy, strong baby, and a transformative labor and birth. What she has learned is that the fundamentals are key to robust health and these truths are largely ignored, if not undermined, by healthcare practitioners today. High tech interventions are not what promotes health or saves lives in most cases, rather the time-honored truths of eating and living well lead to the greatest degree of flourishing. She looks forward to sharing these truths which form the basis of her signature program, The Pregnancy Protocol.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
