Episode 112- How do patriarchal medical systems affect women at their most vulnerable during pregnancy and childbirth? How can we better honor the deep intuitive wisdom of the mama during this transformational period? In this episode, we discuss all aspects of this topic with Molly Mitchell-Hardt who just finished her thesis entitled, "Pregnancy and the Patriarchy," written while she was pregnant with her first born son. We discuss the way the patriarchy forms "the soup we swim in" and how we can fight back with informed empowerment. Hear all about Molly's home birth and how she stood up to institutional fear in order to follow her body's wisdom.
