Back to Episodes055: From Intervention to Independence: A Story of Healing, Restoration, and Deeper Faith (with Cursty Mae)
Description
When you hire a midwife you expect to get more holistic care than when you hire an OB/GYN, but when your midwife is part of a hospital medical system, that’s not always the case. So next time you hire a midwife at a birth center, but even then, you’re still handing your care and responsibility over to another system that may or may not have your best interest at heart. So what do you do after two traumatic birth experiences at the hands of others? You have a wild pregnancy and a free birth, but you do it in connection with and guidance from God, a pivotal piece of the puzzle, if not THE biggest piece of it all. This is only a glimmer of Cursty’s story, tune in as she shares all four of her birth experiences among other life events that dramatically affected them all. Grab the tissues, this episode is a tear-jerking treasure.
