Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast
The Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, in conjunction with Your Birth Biz, is a podcast for birth and postpartum professionals who want to grow sustainable, ethical businesses without burning out or losing themselves along the way.
Hosted by Niamh Cassidy, childbirth educator, IBCLC lactation consultant, and business coach to birth workers, this podcast sits at the intersection of business, birth work, values, and real life.
Niamh started her own perinatal business as a side hustle while working full-time in social care, and knows first-hand how challenging it can be to fill classes, attract clients, and stay confident when everyone else seems to be “doing better”. She’s been through the comparison spiral, the over-consumption of business advice, and the frustration of learning from business spaces that don’t understand the ethics, boundaries, and responsibilities of perinatal work.
Through years of learning, testing, adapting (and unlearning), Niamh has built a fully booked lactation practice and successful education and coaching business — without resorting to fear-based marketing, unethical tactics, or stepping away from client work she loves.
This podcast is a mix of:
- Solo episodes on business, mindset, visibility, boundaries, and sustainability
- Guest conversations with birth workers and women in business
- Panel discussions exploring nuanced topics at the crossover of business and birth work
Expect honest conversations, thoughtful critique of “one-size-fits-all” business advice, and practical insights you can actually apply to your own practice.
If you’re a doula, lactation consultant, antenatal educator, or perinatal professional who wants to grow a business that feels aligned, ethical, and genuinely supportive — you’re in the right place.

Burnout in Birthwork
In this important episode I discuss the all too little talked about subject of burnout in birthwork. My guest Jennifer Santos is a a former childbirth educator, former doula and current certified nurse-midwife working with parents and birth workers in a state of overwhelm to provide information, support and evidence-supported interventions to move them from burnout to bliss.
When disability took Jennifer out of clinical practice in 2018, the first thing she noticed was that she was suffering from PTSD and burnout that she hadn’t even had time to notice while in the trenches. With her return to clinical practice in doubt, she became certified in a few new skills, including helping people process distressing birth memories. Watching from the sidelines in 2020, Jennifer read about people leaving the work in droves - the work that was their calling, that was so important to them and was so needed in the world and she vowed to do something about it - and the Burnout to Bliss Solution for Birthworkers was “born”!
