Whether that’s in their workplace, with health professionals, in their personal life, or even in pregnancy, being your best advocate is so important.</p><p><br></p><p>In Episode 24, we chatted with Certified Nurse-Midwife, Nancy Pol, of Emergence Midwifery + Wellness. Our conversation includes everything from what working with a midwife looks like to how Nancy started her practice, and even how she provides her team with multiple weeks off during the holiday season. (By advocating for boundaries and expressing expectations, of course!)</p><p><br></p><p>We also chat about the importance of following your intuition as a woman, advocating for your needs, and stepping out of fear to achieve the outcome you desire. So often, our voices are silenced by our desire to fit in or be “easy going”, while our intuition is screaming at us that something isn’t right or that this isn’t what we want.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>Being able to listen in and speak up for yourself is a powerful self-worth skill, and so incredibly important - especially when you’re about to bring life into the world! We were so grateful to have Nancy on the podcast to talk about her soul-driven purpose, and express the importance of these topics.
