In this minisode, Jennifer explores the idea of midwifing collapse—inspired by writer Josie Plaut's reflection on the difference between prolonging what is dying and creating space for what wants to be born. Drawing from her story of doctors intervening in her father's final days while a nurse quietly held space for truth, this conversation invites us to look at our own impulse to "doctor" failing systems, roles, and identities. What if our task is not to fix, but to practice engaged surrender, presence, and trust in what's emerging? Through this lens, the minisode explores how collapse can be a generative season, where letting go becomes an act of creation.
