In this season finale, Katie reunites with Laurel and Lindsay — two of the OG guests from the very first episodes — for a conversation about what a year actually does to a person. They dig into where they were twelve months ago versus where they are now: professionally, personally, and everything in between. Laurel is leaning into what it means to be a content, healthy, soon-to-be 40-year-old (with a half-marathon on the horizon). Lindsay is navigating a huge family transition with her first born graduating high school this year, steady employment, and the art of embracing a new chapter. And Katie? She's grayer, sharper, and somehow more excited about what's next than when she started.

They talk mentorship, motivation, partner support in the birth room, the strange clarity that comes with midlife, and why the best midwives are often the ones who've learned to let people be themselves.

Season two drops in October. But first — push.

Carrie knows how bodies work. She's spent decades supporting women through some of their most vulnerable moments — and yet, nothing quite prepares you for becoming the patient yourself. In this episode, she joins Katie just two weeks after her hysterectomy to talk about the 30-year road to that operating table: the symptoms she managed, the decision she wrestled with, and the strange experience of knowing exactly what's happening to your body and still not having all the answers. Raw, real, and a little bit funny — this one's for anyone who's ever had to advocate hard for their own health while simultaneously being your own worst enemy in the process.

This episode is best paired with a bowl of berry, coconut and rum punch served in cute vintage glasses.

Angela came to the United States from Venezuela as an undocumented teenager, speaking just enough English to interpret for her grandmother in an ER — and somehow found herself captivated by the people rushing around in scrubs. It took a perceptive teacher, a husband who said, "we'll make it work," and one pivotal moment at a midwifery orientation to unlock a calling she didn't know she had.

In this episode, Katie sits down with Angela — one of the few practicing Latina midwives in Delaware — to talk about what it means to show up for patients in two languages, two worlds, and with lived knowledge no classroom can teach. They cover the staggering gap between the 25% of U.S. births to Hispanic women and the 5-6% of midwives who are Hispanic, the quiet weight of censoring yourself in a political climate that feels hostile, and why giving a Spanish-speaking patient your cell phone number is less a boundary issue and more an act of radical trust.

They also get into the unglamourous but essential stuff: how Angela funded her entire nursing and midwifery education with almost no debt (yes, really), the loan repayment programs hiding in plain sight, and why the system that needs bilingual, bicultural providers the most is often the least equipped to support them.
