OB Nurse. Cannabis Nurse

Staying sane in an insane situation. How do our front-line, essential workers, all of them juggling duty, passion, family, income, pressure? How do moms, babies, and their partners manage the blurring of tragedy and trauma and hope and possibility? I’m grateful for nurses like Jodi Churchill Chapin, OB and Green Nurse. You’re in my heart. Let’s celebrate the year of the nurse.

I Feel Good! James Brown. I didn’t know how I’d tie this episode together. What was the storyline? We’re going to hear my conversation with Jodi Churchill Chapin, an OB nurse, and green nurse — she supports moms delivering babies, and she advises people on the use of medical marijuana. How do those fit together? While I’m editing this episode, I’m also working out the horn part of I Feel Good on my bari sax. OK. I’m a bit down; eyeball deep in Covid19; maintaining my best health routine and trying to stay sane. Full disclosure, medical marijuana is part of my routine, along with music, and connecting with people on their journey toward best health. I need to feel good some of the time.
