I’ve been talking to some really cool midwives lately, and this episode is no exception. Jessica, affectionately known as the Combat Midwife, tells us about her origin story, her work teaching birth skills to military medics, and midwifing in a refugee camp. Her energy is contagious! I was so excited to explore some unique ways that being a midwife can look in the world, and Jessica did not disappoint. We need more smart midwives in the world doing their thing and bringing this wisdom to all different parts of our culture in order to make a change. I hope that Jessica inspires you to do that.
