Kelly shares her story of following her calling to become a midwife in her teens. Despite her desire to serve women, Kelly found herself unable to do so, in a system set up to hurt and control.

Even though she continued to seek out models of care outside the hospital, she found over time, they kept moving towards medicalisation and betrayal, and led to her burnout.

This eventually culminated in her leaving the system, to unlearn decades of indoctrination and arrive in a place of caring for women how she'd always envisioned.
