Brooke & Lauren address this exact question in 8 tips across this 2-part series. This episode goes over the first four “tips,” or rather, mindset shifts, for Christian women wondering if they can attend births while having little children.
Brooke & Lauren discuss tricky subjects such as: can Christian women work outside the home? How do you know if a call outside the home is valid?
On a very practical level, they discuss different ways of organizing family life that have worked for them to raise their children and how this allows them to be in birth work.
They also touch on questions such as: what does it look like to have rightly ordered parenthood? Should only single & elderly women be called to birth work? Should/can other people take care of your kids safely?
They discuss how the dynamics of how your family views your work is the key that unlocks whether or not you are able to serve as a midwife/doula/birthkeeper.
What do you think? Which one of these mindset shifts was enlightening to you? Which ones do you still have more questions about?
