I think it's really interesting just to connect it back to your book that a lot of people are looking at their experience just now and thinking, am I wintering? Am I enduring this really horrible thing? So if you have the privilege of perspective to be able to ask those questions, yeah, it's pretty interesting. And in that space, our fears can completely overwhelm us and they so often do. But also we can reflect and think about changes we want to make. It's a very revolutionary moment with both good and bad coming in.And I think that's where loads of stuff's happening at the moment. Yeah.
While we take a rest over the summer, we’re sharing some remastered episodes from Season One, chosen by listeners.
This week, I talk to Leah Hazard, NHS midwife extraordinaire and author of Hard Pushed, part memoir of Leah’s life on the labour ward, and part exploration of the current state of the profession.
Leah is as funny, wise and warm in person as she is in print, and she talks about the life-changing decision to leave her TV career and train to be a midwife, and the moment when the stress became too much during one very busy night on the ward.
