Women are magical

One thing that makes me kind of sad is when women don’t see their own magic and their own power. I became a midwife because I read a bunch of pregnancy books during my first pregnancy and realised how amazing the female body is and how magical we really are. The more I read, the more amazed I was. I have attended close to a hundred or more births as a midwife and a Doula and I am amazed every time by the power, the strength, the magic of birth. But this is not the only time we are magical. I know so many women that have been through horrible experiences, rape, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, etc. And still they are living in the world today as functional human beings. That is magical.

So if you are a woman reading this today, remember who you are! You are powerful, magical and incredibly strong. Look at all you have created, look at all you have survived, look at how you have risen.

I am so proud to be a woman, I wouldn’t change it for the world!
