Welcome to the Burling Instincts Podcast.

I'm Dr. Stewart Fishbein, community-based practicing obstetrician and long-time advocate for birth choices.

And I'm Bliss Young, a licensed midwife.

Join us in our conversational style podcast where we talk about everything birth.

Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry, but we're happy that you're here. So here we go.

This is a Soul Fire production.

Are you good?

I'm as good as I'm going to get today.

You look good.

Happy, happy, happy belated Valentine's Day to you.

Happy Love Day, as I like to call it.

Yeah, even though it'll be two weeks from now when this comes out.

Every day is Love Day.

Wouldn't that be nice?

You just have to declare it.

Well, and everyone, it's nice if everyone around you would declare it also, but that's not

necessarily how it works.

So, Bliss, I see that you're still in Santa Barbara.

What happened?

Feels so anti-climactic, you know, I'm like the big countdown.

Oh, gosh.

I wonder if I'm the only person who does dumb stuff like this, but maybe not.
