In this bonus episode #08 -  I’m sharing part of a talk I gave at a local event in Ballarat ‘The Wisdom She weaves’ by the very inspiring Sarah from LOTS financial planning. The topic was What I Wish Women Knew — and in this episode, I’m sharing;

• What I wish women knew about Birth

• What I wish women knew about self advocacy & trusting your Gut (for birth & life!)

• I also share a bit about my own experience as a Midwife & learning to hold less tightly to what I couldn't control & to focus on my small circle of influence in a micro way - which might be helpful for my fellow Midwives:)

Next week, I’m chatting with Gemma — a mum of two — about her hospital and home births.
