In today’s episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Mary Yanagawa – a midwife who has served hundreds of families and been an incredible example of the impact we can all have.
With her advocacy work, she has helped push through legendary legislation in Alaska for birth and postpartum care.
One day, this will be the standard everywhere.
But the advocacy work has to start with us.
