I have always loved supporting women become mothers. I started attending births as a midwifery student at the age of 18. I do not lack passion! I was a midwife for 13 years and left what I like doing because I could no longer support recommendations that lack evidence and where my heart knows they could be harmful. We see systems as superior and must be right and adhered to for safety. The opposite can be true. This podcast is to help you advocate for yourself and your family by giving you lots of resources and expansion. I want you to feel confident in your decisions.

Ep. 51 - Staying curious in a divided world with Christopher Balkaran

Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Christopher Balkaran, host of the Open Minds podcast, where he speaks with guests whose knowledge and perspectives often challenge the mainstream narrative.

How does Christopher speak publicly about politically charged topics while working in the public sector? How does he hold space for people with opposing views—and why does he do it?

This episode is both inspiring and thought-provoking. It highlights the value of curiosity and the importance of not letting ourselves be narrowly defined by political views.

Christopher also shares updates on gender identity laws in New Brunswick schools and offers a clear summary of what’s currently happening with Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) in Canada—including how it relates to children.
