I read the letter out loud to them sitting in front of them in person.

They had brought on a new clinical director for both locations, Darlene. Darlene's daughter was a midwife at Fort Worth, midwife-free. Darlene oversaw everything medical, like clinical-wise. So all the midwives reported to her, but she had no licensure in Texas. in the state of Texas, you have to be a licensed provider to be a clinical director at a birth center. I did not know that then.

Why did they think she was qualified to have this job? Because they were desperate to head. Looking back, I think they pitted us against each other because they would always tell me I needed to call her and work it out. But they would tell me one thing and Darlene another. So triangulation is a narcissistic tactic where they kind of like separate people and pit them against people.

Looking back, I think that they did that a lot. They made me do their dirty work a lot. And then at one point, they tried to tell me I had to change my job responsibilities so that I didn't ever have to see Darlene. And that's whenever I was like, nope, I'm out. I'm putting in my notice. They were like, well, we can't lose you. We're going to make a plan to get rid of Darlene. It was not good.

They did not get along at all, her and Jen. Because Jen had just been told she could be a clinical director. And then they gave it to Darlene. Nobody at Dallas was happy with her.

Correct. I gave them my resignation letter. And so they were like, OK, we have to get Darlene out of Dallas. They told her, you're only going to work at Fort Worth. And then she said, well, if I'm not going to be at both locations, then I'm quitting, which is what they wanted her to do.

Fast forward, Bree and Darlene now run the Center for Birth and Wellness, which is the old Origins Fort Worth location. Darlene is the director of that location.

So Gina and Caitlin had all of their students essentially practice once they completed their numbers. I guess once they were graduate midwives is what they called them. What they kind of sold to their staff was that as long as their preceptor was within an hour of them, then they were allowed to do so.
