Today, Jessica Henman, owner of Primrose Midwifery joins me on the podcast and did an incredible job explaining to us what midwifery is really all about. She begins by telling us the origins of her profession and quotes her favorite verse in Exodus chapter one, "So God was kind to the midwives and the people increased and became even more numerous."  Jessica shares her incredible wisdom and helps break down some of the common misunderstandings about midwives, versus obstetricians, versus doulas.

Listen, learn, and share all with all of your friends. I know that everyone can learn a thing or two from this conversation with Jessic. Please check out her website listed below for more details on this topic. Please continue to share the mission and passion of this platform as we work towards breaking down the stigma with mental health issues in motherhood and find the perfect resources that make the most sense for you.
