in this episode, cam talks to chaney, @theintersectionaldoula, about midwifery school, boundary setting, and healing using all the tools.

from discussing how to protect your energy and set boundaries online and in real life, we segue into a conversation about healing our own bullshit before stepping into our callings. as midwifery students and future midwives, we remind one another how important it is to ground yourself on the daily so that you can show up to each and every birth renewed and refreshed, ready to assist all birthing people during their most vulnerable experiences.

once we talk about our pasts, we move into the importance of therapy in all forms to better provide services to the people in our communities. chaney talks about their experiences in eMDR therapy and how they uses tarot cards to ground theirself during dissociation-inducing situations.

chaney also discusses the importance of their name and how their ancestors show up in everything they do, including harnessing the strength of those that came before them when approaching tough situations like their PCOS diagnosis and showing up in the world aligned with their queer identity.

join us on this journey as chaney and i FINALLY get to talk after a couple years of internet relations and discuss all the things that make our own journeys so wyldly magickal.
