I'm so happy to bring you this great conversation with Christine Cassella, a birthworker and herbalist who helps us uncover three things: 1) the content we should be teaching in our classrooms to help better prepare people for life! 2) the parallels we can draw between birthwork and ed work, and what we can learn as humans working within extractive systems to try to change them, and 3) some helpful stuff about taking control of our own health! Okay, it's not related necessarily to education, but this is important stuff, folks!    About Christine:
