In this episode I sit down with a friend to talk through her birth story and the years it took to really make sense of it. We talk about the powerful influence of Free Birth Society teachings, the pressure and dogma that can exist in birth spaces, and what it was like for her to […]
In my dorky and continued studied of women and human development, I came across a passage that felt like it was written about me, and about so many of the women I know and love. Erik Erikson (what a name) wrote about a type of person he called the homo religiosus. Not religious in the […]
Margo and I created something new! Listen in on the how, when and why we created this new version of our 8 year old midwifery school. We are open for enrollment for our first cohort beginning September 22, 2025. Learn more here.
