Pregnancy Criminalization: A Conversation with a Nurse & Lawyer
<p>In this episode we delve into pregnancy criminalization. We are joined by Lindsey English Hull, a trained nurse in labor and delivery, and attorney with research experience in perinatal substance use, the application of fetal personhood to laws that uniquely punish and surveil pregnant people. </p><p><strong>Lindsey English Hull, </strong>RN, JD, (she/her) obtained her Bachelor of Science in nursing from the University of Tennessee and spent five years as a labor and delivery nurse on a high-risk obstetrics unit at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville. During this time, Lindsey held multiple leadership roles, advanced numerous quality initiatives, and gained national certifications in in-patient obstetrics and electronic fetal monitoring. Despite her deep love for bedside nursing, Lindsey chose to pursue a law degree as a result of her growing disenchantment with our healthcare system and desire to advocate for positive policy changes. Lindsey obtained her J.D. from the University of Tennessee in the spring of 2020, where she had the opportunity to assist Professor Wendy Bach in researching and documenting the negative effects of Tennessee’s criminal “fetal assault” law. Upon graduation, Lindsey moved to New York City to complete a legal fellowship in reproductive justice at Pregnancy Justice, where she continued to serve as a staff attorney for the next three years - advancing policies and litigating cases that protected healthcare providers and their patients from criminal liability for their actions during pregnancy and delivery.</p><p><strong>Resources:</strong></p><p>Organizations:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/" target="_blank"><u>Pregnancy Justice</u></a> </p></li><li><p><a href="https://ifwhenhow.org/" target="_blank"><u>If/When/How: Lawyers for Reproductive Justice</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.perinatalharmreduction.org/" target="_blank"><u>Academy of Perinatal Harm Reduction</u></a></p></li></ul><p>Reports:</p><ul><li><p><a href="https://www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/post-dobbs-pregnancy-criminalization/" target="_blank"><u>Post-Dobbs Pregnancy Criminal Cases</u></a> - from Pregnancy Justice</p></li><li><p><a href="https://www.pregnancyjusticeus.org/pre-dobbs-pregnancy-criminalization/" target="_blank"><u>Pre-Dobbs Pregnancy Criminal Cases</u></a> - from Pregnancy Justice</p></li></ul><p>Also - check out the following courses on <a href="https://nsrh.org/programs/online-institute" target="_blank">NSRH’s Online Institute</a>: </p><ul><li><p>Criminalization of Pregnancy: Miscarriage, Infertility, and Nursing Practice in a Post-Roe America</p></li><li><p>Perinatal Substance Use: Harm Reduction for Nurses</p></li><li><p>Care in Crisis: Resisting Criminalization of Mental Health in Nursing</p></li><li><p>Mandatory Reporting and Self Managed Abortion</p></li></ul>

Our Stories Save Us: Trauma, Support, and Liberation in Birthwork
<p>In this powerful episode, Davon Crawford sits down with birthworker, future midwife, and community healer Jadea for an intimate conversation about the ways our stories shape us, and ultimately save us. Together, they explore how trauma, both personal and collective, impacts the work of Black doulas and the communities they serve.</p><p>Jadea shares her journey into birthwork, the challenges she has faced navigating traditional healthcare systems, and the moments that affirmed her calling. The conversation dives into healing, advocacy, mental health, and the resilience that sustains Black doulas doing trauma-adjacent work.</p><p>Listeners will hear reflections on what a truly liberatory birthing space looks like, the importance of community-based care, and how the pathway toward midwifery deepens this commitment to justice.</p><p>This episode offers grounding, wisdom, and an unwavering reminder: our stories carry power, and when shared with intention, they become medicine for ourselves and our communities.</p><p><strong>Jadea Edmonds </strong>is a birthworker, future midwife, lactation educator, and self-taught Indigenous herbalist whose path is deeply rooted in intuition, ancestral wisdom, and the healing traditions of her lineage. Her journey into birthwork blossomed with the home birth of her son in July 2022—an experience that awakened a profound calling to support women in reclaiming their emotional, spiritual, and embodied birthright. Raised as the oldest of four and guided by a lifelong instinct to nurture, Jadea carries a steady, grounding presence into every birth space she enters. She weaves together her personal birthing experience, her training as a doula, and her connection to plant medicine to create a sanctuary of support for families navigating pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Her care honors the body’s natural rhythms, the spirit’s wisdom, and the sacred storytelling that lives within each parent she serves. Jadea believes birth is more than a moment—it is a rite of passage that reconnects us to our mind, body, and soul. Her work centers liberation, community care, and the resilience of Black birth workers who hold space for trauma, transformation, and generational healing. Through her commitment to midwifery and holistic birthwork, Jadea reminds mothers of the power they already carry: the power to birth, to heal, and to rise. Guided by the Earth, spirit, and the stories that shape us, Jadea walks her path with intention—believing deeply that when our stories are shared, they become medicine for ourselves and our communities.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Davon Crawford</strong> is a student nurse at Emory University’s Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing and a student midwife with the National College of Midwifery. She is the founder and Executive Director of Partnerships for Doula Doula, a community-based collective that has trained and mentored over 70 doulas in Northern California. In her role, Davon builds collaborations with hospitals, public health departments, and community organizations to expand access to culturally affirming doula care for people of color. She also advocates for Medi-Cal reimbursement for doulas and midwifery decriminalization in Georgia, with a vision to transform healthcare through equity-driven leadership.</p>

Weight Stigma in Nursing Practice
<p>In this episode we delve into weight stigma and size bias in health systems. We dispel some myths that equate a person’s body size with their health, and explore how nurses can mitigate the harms of these assumptions through research and practice. </p><p>We are joined by two nurse-midwives who research, write, and practice at this intersection: Dr. Ellen Solis and Elizabeth Muñoz.</p><p><strong>Dr. Ellen Solis, DNP, CNM, FACNM (she/her) </strong>is a Teaching Professor at the University of Washington and the specialty director of the nurse-midwifery program and the Graduate Certificate in Sexual and Reproductive Health (GCSRH) and is the co-director of the UW-ACTIONS (Abortion Care Training Incubator for Outstanding Nurse Scholars) program. She is also a practicing nurse-midwife in Seattle and the board secretary of Nurses for Sexual and Reproductive Health. As a midwife, and educator, Ellen is committed to centering the voices of her clients, students, and colleagues—especially those from BIPOC and queer communities—and working towards increasing their voices in healthcare, education, and policy development. </p><p><strong>Elizabeth Muñoz</strong>, DNP, CNM, FACNM (she/her) is a Certified Nurse-Midwife with experience in midwifery education, scholarship, and clinical practice. She is a Fellow of the American College of Nurse-Midwives and received her Master’s and Doctoral degrees from Vanderbilt University School of Nursing in Nashville, TN.
