In this episode of podcast, we are continuing our examination of community.
Joined by guest Emily Edwards of The Good Birth Co, who is a nurse, birth worker and all around advocate for thinking and changing how we talk about birth, and how we address & prevent birth trauma. This episode will be really impactful or those of you who are also out here trying to figure out how we shift power in the birth space.
How do we call out issues when we see care, that is not care? When we see wrongdoing? When we see obstetrical violence? When we see folks not respecting patient autonomy? When we start to see the seeds planted that could lead someone to have a traumatic birth, that will leave someone feeling disempowered, and the unfortunate, unethical things that have become standard in a lot of birth care?
Dive in to:
~Moving beyond saviorship & the focus on birth outcome

~Stepping into power to prevent birth trauma
~Recognizing the community responsibility to change birthcare
