Today I have spent a lot of time in personal reflection about what the midwifery path BEHIND me has looked like and what the path ahead might have in store for me. This is partly because we are smack in the final days before a new cohort of midwifery school students begins, and with that, […]

I was so blessed to record this conversation with Hannah Penaluna that was a long time coming!
