Welcome back to the Midwifery Wisdom Podcast!
In this episode, Augustine sits down with rising social media star, Dr. K, to dive into her inspiring journey and the impact of her family’s legacy on her career.
Dr. K shares how she got started on social media and the pivotal role her grandfather’s career in naturopathy played in shaping her path.
Together, they explore the barriers within obstetrics that hinder midwifery from gaining the exposure it deserves and discuss the importance of informed consent and autonomy in childbirth. The conversation also touches on the history of obstetrics and examines why the increase of women in the field hasn’t brought about the transformative change hoped for.
