In this episode Mel explains exactly how to change the system. This is an excerpt of the opening address that she presented at the convergence of rebellious midwives conference 2024 and draws from her farming experience to give an example of how real and lasting change is made in nature and how this translates to how we can change the maternity system at every level

The convergence of rebellious midwives 2024 was such a success that we are definitely running it again for 2025, but BIGGER!
