You feel more YOU from doing the work
This work is in direct alignment with your life purpose
Your main focus is not money, profit, clout or business
You cannot learn to be a birth worker, you are born one
-
You understand the nuances between politics, policy, and people power
Advocacy as an avenue to support your clients to exercise their agency
Intersectional lens: You understand the connection between social determinants and peoples experiences
Birth justice means all people are afforded informed consent always in all ways

Having the competency to support people through abortion, miscarriage & live birth
Induced abortion/termination is a valid, honorable, a fucking normal choice
Holistic Care: mental, physical, spiritual, emotional
Learning rituals, ceremonial practices, and culturally relative traditions each step of the way
-
Remembering traditions so we can release colonial practices
Honoring the legacy of the traditional midwife
Naming our teachers and never overstepping them
Naming where traditions derive from
Trusting our inner being to guide us
De-Whitewashing midwifery by reclaiming our “old ways”
-
Birth is an extension of the human sexual/erotic/kinky/sensual experience
The same body parts are being activated
The lack of informed consent being exercised is an extension of the rape culture we live in. (Obstetric rape)
Sexual trauma can be healed and/or triggered during birth & vice versa
The female anatomy needs the same thing during both orgasm and birth
-
We have the power to manifest and be deliberate co-creators of our reality
When this path is for us a way will be made
The seeds we plant are congruent with fruit it bares

Self care doesn't have to cost money
Having routine in your life balances out being on call and the input— output balance
