119. Jess: the empowerment (and entrapment) of "No"

I had a baby! And we're getting back on the horse with an unedited walking episode. Content: I talk a bit about How It Went aka doctors scaring me until about 11:53, and mention stillbirth but don't talk in detail about it.

I talk a bit about what I worked on while I waited (literally loose ends) and some hopes for 2024.

I mention Certified Nurse Midwife Beth Connors: https://www.bethconnors.com/ - she gave me the courage to advocate for myself in the last few weeks, and she can meet virtually! In case you don't have access to a local midwife like I didn't. Highly recommend.
