Thousands of women have contacted us over the years expressing their bone deep desire to be a midwife. BUT BUT BUT…they are afraid they will go to jail, be criminalized, or be put on trial. We have addressed their fear of persecution in lots of ways, but in this episode, I talk to Angee Hock, a midwife we have known for a long time now. She shares her story of…..you guessed it! Being criminalized, spending nights in jail, and being put on trial. Hear what she wants to share about her experience and what she would tell aspiring midwives today. She also talks about how she believes her PMA probably protected her (another question we get asked about all the time!). I’m so excited to share this with you, especially if you are one of these women who want to become a midwife “BUT”. The world doesn’t have time for more buts, and I hope you come away from this episode with a fresh and inspired perspective.
