Reclaiming Autonomy: Thriving Beyond the System

Matriarchal Medicine

In this episode, I share why I ultimately decided to pivot from my desire to be a licensed practitioner to learning at the feet of wise elders and working exclusively outside of the system.

This is a conversation that could go on for hours easily, and I feel what is shared here is a great place to start this conversation.

Everyone on this planet can learn something from HERSTORY: WOMANIFESTO by Jane Hardwicke Collings Read HERE or listen here.

Medical Bondage: Race, Gender, and the Origins of American Gynecology - Deirdre Cooper Owens

If you are interested in going a similar route I went, I recommend talking with Angie Taylor (I'll have her on in an upcoming episode soon!)

If you want to work with a traditional birth attendant but are not sure how to find her - ask in your local mom groups, ask doulas in your area, other moms, etc. We are all over, you just have to ask around as some of us only work by word of mouth.
