Does the thought of navigating your own healthcare give you anxiety? Are there things you learned about your body as an adult that you feel you should have learned as a child? This week Dr. Brittany Dawson (DNP, APRN, CNM) joins us to share more about her journey as a midwife as well as to educate us on the things we all should know about navigating the healthcare system and advocating for our own bodies and well being. We discuss topics including negative experiences with doctors, fears surrounding childbirth and more. Resources Mentioned In This Episode: March Of Dimes Report Card JustBirth Enjoyed this episode?
