Rerun: We have to be Fearless with Hannah Dahlen
Today’s rerun episode features the incredible Professor Hannah Dahlen, an Australian midwife, researcher, and international leader in maternity care. Hannah has published over 100 papers, spoken at more than 100 conferences, and appeared in documentaries and major media worldwide.
In this conversation, Hannah shares:
- Her powerful journey into midwifery, growing up in Yemen alongside her mother, a practicing midwife.
- The art of holding space in birth, and why it’s often misunderstood as “doing nothing.”
- Stories of humility, intuition, and the delicate balance between action and inaction in midwifery.
- Her vision for shifting the global understanding of midwifery alongside obstetrics.
We're also thrilled to announce the launch of the Midwifery Wisdom Fellowship. Christie Davis and I created this mentorship to help future leaders step into advanced practice with confidence, build sustainable careers, and truly change the culture of midwifery for good.
And here’s the best part — to celebrate, we’re hosting a giveaway! One lucky midwife will win a complete starter kit valued at over $500 — everything from a Doppler and neonatal stethoscope, to a scale, instruments, NRP kit, blood pressure cuff and more. PLUS, a gorgeous handmade Patchwork Carpet Bag from St. Clair Designs to carry it all in.
