As we are examining community throughout the season, thinking more deeply about what it means to be joining into this community of birth.

How does it feel to be coming into something that is in some ways already established, but also something that is constantly growing and changing?

I am very excited to have one of our original listeners to the podcast who has been with us through our whole journey.  Erin Heacock is a passionate birth advocate who recently started as a nurse in the perinatal space.  She will be sharing reflections on what she has learned and how she wants to grow in this space. 

We are inviting all of you to think about how we all have things to learn and how often we end up putting people up on pedestals.
How do you decide who is the authority?
How do we become more open to new ideas?
How do we appreciate and support those who are coming after us?

Join us as we explore:
~Appreciating our role and the vulnerable spaces we are invited into
~Challenging unit norms and "the way we've always done things"
~Comparing physiologic birth with the reality of typical hospital birthcare
~Learning how to question authority and bring in diverse viewpoints
~The power of fresh perspective and creating welcoming communities
~The pursuit of lifelong learning
~Ensuring the folks we care for are centered in our community building

Learn more about Erin and connect more.
