Our longest episode to date… for good reason! Here we are going to talk about why authentic birth workers that show up to walk and sit with women in the true sense of the original meaning are worth their weight in gold. We discuss recent births that have taken a toll on us, what makes it worth it, what behind the scenes hardships and tedious tasks that our clients don’t even know that we deal with, how hard the birth community is and what weight we carry that goes unseen, including motherhood in the midst of mothering women. This is a lengthy but trail mix crunchy of an episode that is sure to hit a ton of points that many can relate with, or need to know before jumping into autonomous birth work.
