73: Burn, Slow, Listen, Move: What My Pilot Taught Me About Being Witnessed
from Midwife Life: Midwifing you through health, motherhood, and the sacred mess of life’s transformations with Diane Ortega · host Diane Ortega of Willow Birth Center
For four weeks, every woman in my pilot opened each session with one word. On the last day, we went back through all of them together, and one woman's four words lined up into something none of us expected: burn, slow, listen, move. This episode is about what that pattern taught me, why the moment that actually moved the room wasn't the one I planned for, and what that means five days out from the August 18th masterclass. In this episode: ● The one-word ritual I use to open every session, and why I started it ● How one woman's words across four weeks formed a pattern none of us saw coming ● Why burn, slow, listen, and move aren't a ladder to climb, they're weather that cycles back ● What "witnessing" actually looked like in that room, and why it wasn't me who created it ● What the August 8th masterclass is (and isn't), and who it's for Join the free live masterclass on August 18th: themidwifelife.kit.com/masterclass88 Connect with us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.midwife.life.co/ Website: themidwifelife.co Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/The-Midwife-LifeCo/61559303575840/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/themidwifelife/
