Addiction, Trauma, and Compassion Fatigue

Midwifery Wisdom Podcast

You won't want to miss this vulnerable and heartfelt episode. This week host Augustine Colebrook is joined by longtime friend Shari Long Romero, DNP, CNM, CPC, CPRC, to discuss her journey through midwifery and self-discovery. She shares how her experience with trauma and addiction brought her to midwifery, away from it, and back again.

"In that recovery process, those long years I took to really help myself figure out that that unmanageable life had so little to do with drugs or alcohol. It had nothing to do with that. It had everything to do with... how do I see myself? How do I truly... how am I midwifing me?"
