When Tomasina Stacy first set her sights on the profession of midwifery, little did she know her path would take her from London's urban pulse to the windswept beauty of the Outer Hebrides, and beyond. Join our enlightening conversation with Tomasina as she entwines her personal tales of growth, from a novice nurse to a pioneering researcher in midwifery. Her stories whisk us away to the dynamic midwifery scene of Sydney and the adventurous realm of providing healthcare by helicopter in the Torres Strait. It's a narrative rich in depth and diversity, shaped by leadership and groundbreaking research.

Venture with us as Tomasina delves into the intricacies of postnatal care, a topic close to her heart and the focus of her Master's research. She shares the sobering realization that issues she uncovered years ago still echo in today's wards. Yet, it's her personal journey amidst these challenges that captivates, as she navigates the demands of motherhood, academia, and international moves. Tomasina's reflections on her transition to a PhD highlight the courage and resilience it takes to balance family, research, and the passion for enacting change at the bedside and beyond.

The episode culminates with a candid discussion on the invisible burden of imposter syndrome that many face in their careers, including within academia. Tomasina Stacy offers a beacon of guidance for PhD students wrestling with doubt, emphasizing the power of mentorship and the transformative nature of research that listens and learns from those it serves. Moreover, Tomasina's work on stillbirth and modifiable risks exemplifies the profound impact that collaborative research can have on maternal health — an inspiring testament to the importance of persistence and community in the pursuit of knowledge and improvement.
