About this listen

In this episode of The Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, I’m joined by the brilliant Brónagh Davidson, founder of My Pregnancy Journals — a beautiful Irish brand born from one mam’s real-life experience, frustration and deep desire to create something meaningful for her own children.

Brónagh shares openly about the surprising path that led her here:
– her background in psychology, coaching, fitness and even cybersecurity
– the fertility scare that changed everything
– the shift from service-based work to launching her very first product
– building a business between nap times
– and how a simple personal need became a product hundreds of parents now treasure

We dive into the realities of creating a physical product — the costs, the risks, the samples, the trial and error — and the mindset that kept her going when most people would have backed away. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could sell a product alongside your services, or you’re curious about how “ordinary moments” can spark extraordinary businesses, this is a gorgeous episode to soak up.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The moment a fertility appointment shifted the direction of Brónagh’s life and future business
  • How journaling during pregnancy helped her connect deeply with her babies before they were even born
  • The behind-the-scenes of creating a physical product from scratch (what no one tells you!)
  • Navigating fear, finances and the early investment that product-based businesses require
  • Why community and collaboration matter more than ever when launching something new
  • The mindset shifts that supported her through uncertainty, change and early motherhood
  • Practical advice for birthworkers or service providers who are thinking about developing a product
  • The power of trusting your own story — and letting that guide your business decisions

Who this episode is for

Birthworkers, mums in business, creative entrepreneurs, and anyone curious about how real-life experiences can spark beautiful, sustainable businesses. If you’ve ever felt the pull toward creating something that’s missing in the world, this conversation will light a gentle fire under you.
