I recorded a new podcast for birth workers and on it, I talk about at least 3 good reasons I see to address your own need for REST.
Once upon a time, maybe, it was rockstarish to be a strung out on coffee and adrenaline midwife; up for the last 5 days straight for 3 births and a transport!
I see no glory in any of that, other than the heart for service (yes!) and the witnessing of babies coming earthside.
I see glory in the RESTED and sane midwife; who takes the very unsexy, unrockstarish route of repair and mending her own exhaustion.
I wish someone had shared things like this with me years ago.
But now I get to share them with you, and help this next generation be healthier than I was.
And join me in September in the cool kids club; the Catch Your Breath Club, for tired and exhausted women.
Love you!!
