✊🏽Educational & Relatable💜

I just binged the first 5 episodes in 1 day!! I can’t get enough of the amazing conversations. I am a birth worker of color(birth doula/midwife assistant/former student midwife) and I learned so much from each episode on how to better support my clients as well as MYSELF!! I am looking forward to future episodes and listening to those that are part of the birth community (my community) in a different state. Hearing the voices and words of wisdom from Midwife Christine’s support network is supporting ME all the way over here in the Pacific Northwest/ Washington State. KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK! 💜✊🏽👏🏽🙌🏽💜
