Gold Soul Podcast with Jessie Rockwell

The Intersection of Motherhood and Midwifery (with Sarah Waldron, CNM)


Listen Later

In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by my dear friend and colleague, Sarah Waldron, Certified Nurse Midwife, for a raw and tender conversation about what it really means to walk the path of midwifery while mothering.

We share the deeply personal roots of our journeys into birth work, and reflect on how becoming mothers ourselves reshaped our practices from the inside out. From the emotional weight of on-call life to the sacred privilege of attending births—we dive into the beauty, the burnout, and the boundaries we’ve learned to hold with care.

We also talk openly about the differences between Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs) and Licensed Midwives (LMs)—why both roles matter, how we complement each other, and the powerful opportunity that comes when we choose to collaborate instead of compete.

✨ And yes… we make a very special announcement about the next chapter of Gold Soul Midwifery—one rooted in sustainability, community support, and shared vision.
