I'm thinking about all my fellow midwives (regardless of training, letters behind their name, or country of residence).
Passion brought us all to this work. Many of us give it all and have very little left for ourselves. Many of us have made peace with exhaustion. Many of us have rationalized missing family events and the milestones of our own children. Many of us guiltily question our professional choices from time to time - even though there is nothing more we love more than taking care of those who seek us out. Most of us are not paid what we are worth and yet we show up everyday to give professional advice and counsel.
We need to focus on our mental health and wellness.
