In this week’s episode of The Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain and sharing something a little more personal than usual—my own story.

From an unexpected pregnancy in 2012 to becoming a fully booked lactation consultant, childbirth educator, and a business mentor for birthworkers, I’m walking you through the journey that brought me here. You’ll hear how my experience as a new mum led me to the Cuidiú community, the role that peer support played in my parenting and professional life, and how that foundation inspired the work I do today—supporting doulas, IBCLCs, antenatal teachers and other perinatal professionals to build ethical, thriving businesses.

I also talk about:

• Why I found the early months of parenting so tough—and what helped
• How breastfeeding support groups changed my life
• The unexpected way my closest friendships began
• The importance of community when you're building a business from scratch
• Why doing business in an ethical way is the foundation of everything
• A brand new low-cost membership I’ve quietly launched for birthworkers who want business support without the big investment

This episode is for you if:

• You’re a new or aspiring birthworker looking for inspiration
• You’ve ever struggled with isolation in early motherhood
• You want to hear a real, behind-the-scenes story of business growth in the birth world
• You believe in community-led care and the idea that it takes a village—not just to raise a child, but to support a parent

✨ Interested in the new low-cost business membership I mentioned?
It’s currently invite only and open just to podcast listeners this week (ending 18 May 2025). DM me on Instagram @preg_and_postnatal_collective to learn more or grab one of the few remaining founding member spots.
