The Lessons of Jaundice: Vivian's 3 Sons
Today on the show, I'm talking with my friend Vivian about birth as a catalyst for deep maturation. With her first baby, Vivian had a medicalized birth, and although she freebirthed her second son, she brought him into the hospital two days postpartum. She left (eleven days later) with a commitment to do things differently the next time around. Vivian's third birth was powerful and glorious, and she speaks about how it even healed her relationship with her own mother.

In this episode, we talk about the modern day witch-hunt of traditional midwives by the medical industry, what it looks like to serve women in integrity, and how women like Kemi are reclaiming the word "midwife" all over the world.
