Empowered by Hope

“You are worthy of happiness and joy in parenthood and this happening to you isn’t your fault,” today’s guest Elaine Bishop reminds us. She adds, “There is still so much joy to be had in raising these little people, even though it’s not going to look like what you thought it would.”
These are just some of the nuggets of wisdom Elaine shares with us in this incredible episode on advocacy. Elaine is a certified nurse midwife and Emily Whiting’s former Maternal Fetal Medicine Care Coordinator when she was pregnant with Charlotte.
Elaine shares words of deep compassion and invaluable insight for those facing prenatal diagnoses and she also gives concrete tips for advocating for your unborn child. She says, “Advocacy can sometimes feel synonymous with conflict, but it’s not necessarily,” and she provides basic tips for beginning your advocacy journey.
