Evolution or Revolution
A podcast about people making small (or very large) professional changes. I explore how they did it and how you can, too. If it's time to make a change, when do we trim the sails, and when do we burn the boats?
Evolution or Revolution
Erin Ryan: From homebirth midwife to global maternal health advocate
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Join me in my first ever episode to talk with Erin Ryan. She'll share her revolutionary journey from San Francisco, to becoming a homebirth midwife in Vermont, moving her three children to Bali (twice) and re-inventing her life again when her marriage ended. Today you'll find her in Tonga, Fiji, Sri Lanka, Lao, and Bangladesh connecting with community, and advocating for and training with midwives globally.
Erin looks back on her journey and the key moments when everything changed.
Our discussion emphasizes meaningful change, the power of small experiments, and the trade-offs and risks of big moves. Erin shares personal challenges, such as a difficult divorce and relying on community support, which illustrate resilience and the interweaving of her personal and professional lives.
If you're thinking of making a big switch professionally, join us and get inspired by Erin's story.
