In this episode of The Female Blueprint Podcast, Dr. Courtney sits down with Tracy, a certified midwife and women’s health advocate, to explore what modern midwifery really looks like and why it’s so much more than “delivering babies."

From her early experiences supporting her sister through a teen pregnancy to her years working in obstetrics, Tracy has seen firsthand how the healthcare system can both help and fail women.
Her story is one of transformation, purpose, and deep belief in the power of preventative care, education, and true informed consent.

Together, Dr. Courtney and Tracy unpack the heart of midwifery and what it means to care for women before, during, and after birth.

You’ll learn:

• How Tracy’s personal experiences shaped her path into midwifery

• The difference between the midwifery model and the obstetric model of care

• Why preventative healthcare is key to healthier pregnancies and fewer complications

• The importance of empowerment and informed consent during birth

• How trauma, spirituality, and surrender play a role in the birthing process

• What every woman should know about epidurals, breech births, and trusting her body

• Why continuity of care and relationship-building are essential to women’s health outcomes

Tracy reminds us that birth is not meant to be manipulated; it’s meant to be supported.
Her approach to care centers around trust, communication, and the belief that women deserve to feel safe, seen, and informed in every part of their healthcare journey.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that women’s health isn’t just about intervention...it’s about empowerment.
