Today I’m excited to share my interview with Megan Gross!   Megan is not only a nurse midwife, she is a one-woman show running her own practice in Dubuque, Iowa. She specializes in hormone health and loves helping women through different stages of life: Pre-fertility, postpartum, and menopause.   So in addition to being totally brilliant in her field, she also does all of the work of a small business owner! Megan is also mom to three littles ages 8, 5, and 2 1/2. She’s definitely in a busy season and loves her community. Key Takeaways:

• Megan started off studying pre-med, then switched to nursing, then studied to be a nurse midwife. Her husband’s job took them to Dubuque, Iowa where she currently has an independent practice.
• Megan has always been an independent practitioner and has adjusted her business along with her life. Being on call 24/7 for home births just doesn’t work with kids at home!
• Megan focuses now on regulating women’s hormones and shares so much interesting information! Did you realize that our society is set to men’s circadian rhythm? Or that hormonal birth control completely changes women’s hormones?
• Megan says it is so important to be open about struggles and seeking help. Nothing is TMI or shameful in her office!
• The Tend and Befriend theory was so cool! Some animals, including humans, regulated stress by leaning on community. 
• Megan mentions some of her favorites: Girls, Goals, and Gong Shows on Instagram, the Office Ladies podcast, Taylor Swift, and Mines of Spain in Dubuque.
