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.

So while I'm speaking, Bliss is just going to sit there and look pretty. I want you to know that.

Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening and good middle of night, everybody and fellow travelers.

It's us back again. Bliss is somewhere in Utah, I think. Yeah, I'm in Salt Lake City and

making my way back to see my family, which I'm so excited about. I had some interviews scheduled,

but with my foot and how I've been feeling, I just kind of cleared my schedule. I'm just,

I'm just taking some time for myself. And then I have a couple

clients in California. So, yeah, getting ready to get back. I want to give people a little

behind the scenes of how things actually go with us sometimes. So today is Wednesday morning.

Yesterday I was driving, I don't know, five hours or something, and I get a text from Stu.

So any idea what you want to talk about tomorrow?

And I was like, yeah, it's, it is Tuesday, isn't it?

So I reached out to Christine Loria.

She's getting ready to go to Sudan.

I had a couple other things.

And Stu was like, I got stuff.

So, no, we're going to do a little hot podge, which is Stu's favorite.

Lots of little details here and there to talk about.
