If you have spent any time listening to me and Jamie‘s podcast -Women on Fire❤️‍🔥-you’ll know that we are very passionate about Midwifery regulations and the big can of worms that can be. 🪱I’m really excited to release this episode interviewing Margo Blackstone- a midwife in Duluth Minnesota (@duluthmidwife ) and co-creator at @indiebirth.🌟 she shares about the voluntary-based licensure system in Minnesota that allows licensed midwives and traditional non-licensed midwives to coexist. A model we hope can inspire regulations in Hawai’i.🤍Go find the episode on Spotify. Apple podcasts. iTunes. Red circle. And anywhere else you listen to podcast. 💟 contact us at [email protected] 🔥
