The Dark Side of the Savior Complex - Midwives Gone Wild Episode 3
In this episode, we talk about midwifery, sacrifice and martyrdom and how we're building a new model of midwifery that prioritizes self-care and sets better boundaries.
During our chat, we explore the impact of the on-call lifestyle, technology, and constant contact on midwives' mental and physical health. We also touch on the importance of being a role model for clients and the need for midwives to take care of themselves in order to provide better care.
Hear us talk about the impact of trauma on midwives and the importance of addressing and healing our own trauma in order to be fully present and effective in our work.
