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.

Ep. 59 The Gut-Health Reset for Burnt-Out Birthworkers
Are you constantly giving to others but struggling to prioritise your own wellbeing?
In this episode of The Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, I’m joined by wellness coach and founder of Live Life Well, Jo Bibby, for a powerful chat on how gut health can impact your mood, energy, hormones—and your business success.
Jo shares her personal journey from postnatal exhaustion and overwhelm to feeling energised and grounded, all through small but mighty changes to her nutrition and lifestyle. If you’ve been ignoring your own health while running your business or supporting new parents, this conversation is your permission slip to reset, refocus and feel good again.
Whether you're a doula, lactation consultant, antenatal educator, or any kind of birth or postpartum worker, you’ll come away with practical tips to nourish your body, support your gut, and sustain your energy—without fancy fads or unrealistic routines.
We cover:
- What gut health really means—and why it affects your mood, hormones and energy
- Easy ways to eat for a healthier gut (yes, even when you’re on call or working 12-hour days!)
- The link between rest, the nervous system and digestion
- Why movement matters—but not in the way diet culture told us
- Probiotic foods and simple strategies for when your gut needs a reset
- How connection, community and mindset influence your overall wellbeing
If you’ve ever thought, “I know what I should do, I just can’t seem to do it”—this one’s for you. Expect compassionate, relatable advice that meets you where you’re at.
