An update on midwifery Regulation in Hawai'i & an unpacking of the pros and cons of regulating midwives and mandatory licensure.

And to grow compassion so we can grow as a diverse community. Hawai'i Home Birth Task Force report: https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/search/isysquery/6df7becf-e862-4996-a2d1-a1f399b1da5d/1/doc/#hit1
