Burnout doesn’t always mean stop.
Sometimes, it means something deeper: shift.

In this moment from the Midwifery Wisdom Podcast, Midwife and somatic healer Christie Davis shares a powerful reframe for birthworkers, parents, and anyone living in a constant state of overwhelm:

👉 Don’t shove your fear away.
✨ Acknowledge it. Soothe it. Thank it.
🧠 Tell your nervous system: “I see you. I get why you’re here. But you don’t get to drive.”

This subtle shift—from suppressing emotion to meeting it with compassion—can change your entire approach to burnout, fear, and fatigue.

Whether you're a midwife, doula, or a new parent navigating the postpartum fog… this is for you.
