FM Weekly is out!

The first newsletter is out! Available publicly here. I'm having some technical difficulties merging the subscriber list from the blog to Substack, it would mean the world to me if you please sign up separately to receive the newsletter!

In each newsletter I will include a section called "Flipping the Script," meant to help patients and providers navigate conversations with each other. To that I say - how great is this comment I've included in the image here?!? Someone sent this to me directly (thank you!!!). If in my writing and in my work around consent and trauma, I can remind even the best of the best that when an individual (patient / client / human) says the word "no," someone else (healthcare providers / partners / humans) cannot / should not then continue to persuade. "No" is a complete sentence. I loved including a script for both sides of that conversation in the first newsletter, and getting feedback. Send your comments via email or at the end of the newsletter itself!

Happy Saturday to you. I'm in a coffee shop busily thinking about the next newsletter, which will include some resources for people considering midwifery as a profession or as their care providers. Join me!
