Birth and motherhood should NOT be a root of fear, doubt, nor trauma yet these experiences are often the norm in our culture. In this chat with Jana Johnston, CPM and founder of Global Education of the Midwife, we shed light on the process of reworking our identities as Mother.  And guess what?  It’s an ongoing process that lasts the rest of our lives.

·      3 purposeful prayers that lead Jana into Midwifery and why she chose midwifery over obstetrics

·      The most important quality to look for in a care provider
·      The biggest challenge we face with hospital birth
·      How birth can cause an Identity Crisis, and how to hold space for women
·      Why we are so emotional during pregnancy-  Yes, hormones, but why spiritually?
·      Emotional processing activities to help with big shifts in who we are
·      Negative self talk and getting out of your head
·      The importance of being present with and feeling pain emotionally and physically
