Johanna – Midwife
“When I first thought about leaving the NHS, I panicked. I’d tried starting a business in my 20s and failed… I desperately wanted a way to still be in maternity, but to do it in a way that didn’t destroy me… I just couldn’t survive the system anymore.”
“It wasn’t just the training, it was the support. The community. The feeling that someone actually got it… I’m braver. I’m more confident. I’m not paralysed by the fear of stepping outside my comfort zone anymore… Now I’ve got hope.”
