The Power of Storytelling in Birth Work with Clancy McCarty
My guest today is extra special to me. Clancy McCarty is a registered nurse, and student-nurse midwife who spent over a decade as a documentary film producer with Every Mother Counts, the maternal health advocacy non-profit founded by Christy Turlington Burns that aims to make pregnancy and childbirth safe globally. Prior to becoming a student nurse-midwife, Clancy completed her doula training with Debra. She is the co-founder of Pregnancy Pathways, a consulting company providing education, resources, and guidance on how to find birth teams and settings for expecting parents in Los Angeles. She most recently became a mom, giving birth at home surrounded by midwives. She is here to talk with us about

“Because as everybody knows, it takes a village to give birth.” - Clancy McCarty
“Your birth and postpartum, it isn't just so straightforward as your vital signs look good and your baby's growing and then you're off. It is an all-encompassing, holistic experience that you're going through, and so if there's other things in your life that are causing some difficulty, it is very worth it to address those other areas.” - Clancy McCarty
