Summary

Still riding the high of the Louisville conference, Blyss & Dr. Stu take a drive back in time to the Farm in Tennessee. With Buffalo Springfield on the radio and Dr. Stu in awe of the surroundings, the midwives tell Blyss an emotional tale of The Farm's past and future.

They explore the complexities of Tennessee's midwife law, the critical role of licensure, and the essential need for collaboration with doctors. Above all, these midwives emphasize the importance of client autonomy, the value of face-to-face communication, and the power of storytelling in sharing wisdom. In the end, Dr. Stu and Blyss were left with a profound appreciation for their dedication to the art of midwifery, and believe you will be too, as you listen to their shared wisdom and experience.

Key highlights:

  • Journey Towards Becoming a Midwife
  • Building A Community Without Electricity and Water
  • Emergency Childbirth Training
  • The Beginnings of Midwifery Services
  • Low C-Section Rates in Midwifery
  • Transition From Nursing to Midwifery
  • Comparison of Licensed and Traditional Midwives
