Jaden’s goodbye note & message: This is the last episode of “Birth Warrior Podcast” (and possibly/more then likely my last episode as the host) for the foreseeable future. It has been such an absolute honor and pleasure over the past two and a half years to sit with all of the women that have to so generously allowed me to record the stories of their most intimate, sacred moments, their vulnerable and sometimes painful truths, as well as their small and big victories, moments of raw power, and their immense joys – and, in turn, allowing me to share their stories with all of you. I have learned so much from every single woman that has been a guest, and while, during our conversations, I prefer to keep the focus mainly on them, the storyteller, each of their stories has helped foster personal growth within – as a mother, as a woman, and undoubtedly, as a midwifery student, and hopeful, aspiring midwife, as each of these conversations were a major invitation for sitting on my hands and knees, and really, deeply listening, and doing this work, it’s made me realize that at least 1/3 of a midwife’s work is listening.
