Welcome to the first episode of Discover Midwives! Our host, Jessica Brumley, a midwife with over 25 years of experience, tackles the most common myths about midwifery head-on. From the surprise "unplanned" home birth of her own daughter to discovering that midwifery is a part of her own family legacy. Jessica shares the personal stories that shaped her mission to change the healthcare system.

We’re stripping away the medical jargon to explain what a midwife actually does. Whether you are looking for routine GYN care, starting your first period, or navigating menopause, this episode explores how the midwifery model centers your body, your voice, and your right to informed, respectful care. Are you ready to Discover Midwives, together?
