In this season-six finale of the podcast, Sarah Lavonne and Justine look back on a whirlwind year at Bundle Birth, with new classes, a reboot on YouTube, and new hospital trainings. Sarah shares an “epic fail” at her first Advanced Physiologic Birth training, then explains how the mishap led her to redesign the class and refocus on meeting you where you’re at, giving you the positioning training you want while also being authentic. The pair riff on systemic problems in maternity care, the power of empathy, and balancing big-picture change in the healthcare industry.*Disclaimer: To any of the nurses that were at this training or the leadership team that experienced this class, the rant at the end is not about you. It is about the system as a whole, you are amazing, and I am so impressed that you have invested in your nurse&apos;s growth like you have. ❤️ SarahSend in your question to be featured in Season 7 of the Pod!
