Summary

On today's podcast, I wrap up all the resources we created at Evidence Based Birth in 2020, as well as the challenges we faced as a team. I also talk about what our plans are for the year 2021.

This was not an easy podcast to record. How do you sum up a year like 2020? Like many of you, our team members at EBB have experienced loss and grief, uncertainty and anxiety, stress, and burnout. Somehow our team pulled together to continue getting evidence based information to the public. We leaned on each other— when some of us were having difficulties, others pitched in... then roles would quickly reverse. "Teamwork makes the dreamwork" was frequently mentioned in our Slack channel!

In the end, we were still able to fulfill our EBB mission (making research evidence publicly available) while caring for ourselves and our families. And I am incredibly proud of our team for that accomplishment.

I'd encourage you to check out today's podcast to learn about all the resources that were created for you this year at Evidence Based Birth and to get a sneak peek of what we hope to publish next year. You can listen to that podcast episode (or read the transcript) here (link).

We also created a Spotify playlist of songs that have inspired some of us through difficult times. You can check out that music playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5w25L1849X9dTVt0RGMkOe?si=xx61fpXmR1ujTcqiOtrClA

On behalf of the entire EBB team, I'd like to send you our best wishes for a healing and restorative New Year in 2021.

0:04.2	at Evidence-based birth in 2020 and look forward to the year 2021.
0:11.9	Welcome to the Evidence-based Birth Podcast. My name is Rebecca Decker and I'm a nurse with my

0:37.0	Hi everyone welcome to the evidence-based birth podcast. On today's episode I'd like to wrap up our year at Evidence
0:44.4	Base Birth by talking about what we've been working on at EBB in 2020 and
0:49.1	what we're looking forward to for 2021. I'm also going to talk about some of the changes we've made this
0:55.0	year and our plans for next year. So whatever you want to say or think about
1:00.2	2020, we know that this has been a year of basically a major global event, a pandemic
1:06.9	that had huge ramifications and both short and long-term effects on our team, on myself, the work we do at Evidence
1:14.7	Space Birth and all of you. During this pandemic, we also watched as
1:19.4	awareness of social injustice reached a boiling point in the United States. And let me
1:24.7	be clear that although social injustice has always been here, it's just now that
1:29.1	many white people are beginning to become aware of it. So I'm going to talk about some of those topics
1:34.7	in this podcast episode.
1:36.3	In preparation for recording this podcast,
1:38.3	I went back and listened to the year-end wrap up
1:41.2	that we did at the end of 2019 looking forward to 2020.
1:44.8	And it was actually slightly irritating to listen to how optimistic I was about the year 2020.
1:50.2	I also went back and looked at the workbooks I filled out at the end of 2019.
