Burned at the Stake Podcast
For midwives, by midwives
Join us in a revolution. A midwife revolution. Where we take back the feminine power that once belonged solely to us. Before misogyny and the patriarchy. Gather with us as we take an intimate look into all things midlife and midwife.
Midwives. Gatekeepers. Birth workers. Holders of the sacred space.
The time is now to bring a paradigm shift to midwife culture. Together, we can be the change. By empowerment, connection and inspiration. By acknowledging our fears, the tears, the trauma we live through and our resiliency.
Yes, we are going to build a powerful, passionate community of midwives. One podcast at a time.
