The house is empty for once. No one needs the bathroom. No one is asking what's for dinner. The dishwasher isn't running, nobody's arguing about the TV, and for the first time all day the only sound in the house is the refrigerator humming to itself in the kitchen....

Not long ago, I was on a call with three women I've been working with. I said one word, trapeze, and all three went quiet. Not because it was dramatic. Because it was exactly right. One platform. One bar in your hand. The next platform has its own bar, waiting. To get...

For a long time, I believed my work and my identity were deeply intertwined. Not just connected. Entangled. I wasn’t simply a midwife. I was the founder. The leader. The safe place. The problem solver. The one holding everything together. For years, my birth centers...

There are conversations that expand you… and then there are conversations that fundamentally shift the way you see yourself.
My recent interview with Dr. Gertrude Lyons, founder of Rewrite the Mother Code™, was one of those conversations.

When was the last time you felt like yourself? Not just functioning, but truly you. This week on The Midwife Life podcast, I’m answering the questions you submitted: raw, honest, and straight from the heart. From postpartum healing to personal rebirth, this Listener...
