Finding True North: Lindsay

Send us Fan MailIt's hard to be vulnerable, especially in the medical field, but if you can't show vulnerability at work are you in the right place for you to thrive?Katie and Lindsay explore the invisible weight midwives carry: constantly explaining who they are, practicing at the edge (or beyond) their intended scope, and soldiering through systems that don't always leave room for vulnerability. They get honest about burnout, the loss of clinical identity, the myth of work-life balance, and the particular ache of loving a calling that doesn't always love you back the same way.At the heart of it all is a recurring theme: the midwife community itself — that curated, fragile, irreplaceable sisterhood — is the thing that keeps you going when the compass feels broken.Equal parts candid and comforting, this episode is for every midwife (or person!) who has ever wondered is this still the right fit? — and needed to hear that the question itself is part of the journey.This episode is best paired with a cup of Tazo's lemon loaf tea (the best tea to drink with a friend!)
