À propos de ce contenu audio

Welcome to the Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneur's Collective podcast, hosted by Niamh Cassidy, the founder of the Collective.

Niamh is a childbirth educator and lactation consultant. She initially started her childbirth education business as a side hustle alongside working full time in social care.

Starting her own business wasn't easy for Niamh, as she found it hard to fill her classes and get lactation clients, even when she quit her fulltime job. She worried about 'the competition' and wanted to learn how to stand out. This led her to consume all the 'business' content she could find, from podcasts to mentorship programs and trainings. While she learned a lot, she found that many 'experts' didn't understand the importance of ethics in perinatal work. So, Niamh has been consuming, learning, testing, and adapting to see what works and feels good for her practice. She has been able to grow a successful practice, outperforming many of her peers who have been in practice longer.

Now, Niamh wants to share what she's learned with you through this podcast. She no longer worries about 'the competition' and sees all ethical business owners in perinatal work as her peers. She believes that together, we can all be successful. Join Niamh on this journey as she shares her insights and tips on how to grow your own successful perinatal practice with integrity and authenticity.

    • The Parenting Copywriter on Telling Your Story & Selling Without the Ick
      Sep 25 2025

      Do you ever sit staring at your website or Instagram post wondering how to actually put into words what you do? Or maybe you’ve been told to “share your story” but aren’t sure how to do that without feeling boastful?

      In this week’s episode of the Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, I’m joined by Sarah Davis — The Parenting Copywriter. Sarah is the author of Baby Daze and a former teacher turned copywriter who now helps small business owners whose clients are parents.

      Together we chat about:

      • What copywriting really is (and why it’s not just for big brands).
      • The most common mistakes birthworkers make when writing copy for parents.
      • Why your story matters — and how to share it without feeling like you’re bragging.
      • How to keep your website and social media clear, concise and parent-friendly.
      • Practical tips for writing promotional posts and class descriptions that actually connect.
      • The power of passion and personality in your copy (and why that builds trust).

      Whether you’re a doula, IBCLC, antenatal educator or baby massage teacher, this episode will give you practical advice to help your words feel natural, authentic, and clear — so parents know exactly how you can support them.

    • Why Your Summer Slowdown Doesn’t Mean You’ve Failed (and How to Reset for September)
      Sep 3 2025

      Send us a text

      If your summer felt slow, you’re not alone. Many birthworkers experience a summer slump — enquiries dip, classes don’t fill, clients go quiet, and social media engagement drops. It can feel like you’ve lost momentum or even failed… but the truth is, this is simply the rhythm of birthwork.

      In this episode, I’m catching you up with a quick life update, before diving into:
      ✨ Why the summer slump is normal (and not a sign your business is broken)
      ✨ How to create stability by paying yourself consistently, even when income dips
      ✨ Why September has that “mini new year” energy — and how to harness it without burning out
      ✨ The one-thing rule for rebuilding momentum gently and sustainably
      ✨ My brand-new 4-Month Planning Framework — designed to help you set goals, reflect, and take action in a way that actually works for birthworkers

      This is your invitation to reset, refocus, and set yourself up for the rest of the year — without the overwhelm.

      💡 I’d love to hear from you: after listening, DM me on Instagram @preg_and_postnatal_collective
      and tell me your one focus for the next 4 months.

    • Working With Your Cycle: Boost Productivity & Balance in Your Business
      Aug 27 2025

      Send us a text

      In this episode of The Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, I’m joined by Tayba Azim, counsellor, psychotherapist, and Mizan therapist. Together, we explore how understanding your menstrual cycle and its inner seasons can help you thrive as a woman in business.

      We dive into:
      🌸 What Mizan therapy is and how it supports reproductive, digestive, and emotional health
      🌸 The inner seasons of the menstrual cycle (winter, spring, summer, autumn) and what they mean for energy, mood, and productivity
      🌸 Practical tips for cycle charting — apps vs paper tracking
      🌸 How to sync business tasks, self-care, and even exercise with your cycle phases
      🌸 Why period pain is common but not normal, and how traditional practices can help
      🌸 How women without a bleed (due to birth control, menopause, or hysterectomy) can still benefit from cycle charting with the lunar cycle

      I learned a lot from this conversation about reclaiming your body’s wisdom, challenging societal stigmas, and finding balance in both work and life.
