Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast

  • Summary

  • 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.

  • How to Use CHATGPT as a Birth Worker
    Nov 20 2024

    In this episode of The Pregnancy & Postnatal Entrepreneurs Collective Podcast, I’m diving into something game-changing for your business—how to use AI tools like ChatGPT. Now, before you roll your eyes and think, “But I’m in a people-focused business!”—hear me out. ChatGPT isn’t here to replace your voice or expertise; it’s here to support and amplify it.

    I’ll walk you through how to train ChatGPT to reflect your style and personality, so it feels like an extension of you. We’ll also cover crafting prompts that actually work, using AI ethically, and avoiding some common pitfalls like losing your voice or, worse, breaching client confidentiality.

    This episode is packed with actionable tips that will help you maximise the benefits of AI in your content creation and business growth—without compromising your integrity or values.

    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    • How AI tools like ChatGPT can make creating content faster and easier.
    • Why your unique voice is non-negotiable and how to keep it intact.
    • The simple process of “training” ChatGPT to understand your business.
    • Why clear and specific prompts are the secret to getting great results.
    • The importance of fact-checking everything ChatGPT gives you.
    • How AI can help you stay on top of trends in the birthwork industry.
    • The golden rule: Protecting client privacy when using AI.
    • Why AI should enhance your expertise—not replace it.
    • The value of experimenting with prompts to find what works best for you.
    • How to stay ethical and client-centred when using AI tools.

    If you’ve been curious (or cautious) about integrating AI into your work, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to give it a go. Ready to take your business to the next level while staying true to yourself? Let’s do this!
