Back to EpisodesSpeak Your Truth (Without the Controversy)
Description
There's a difference between standing up for what you believe in and courting controversy for clicks. In this solo episode, Niamh explores why fear-based content might get you reach—but it won't get you booked—and how the most ethical choice is also the most profitable one for your birth business.
If you're feeling pressure to be louder, more provocative, or more controversial to succeed as a doula, lactation consultant, or antenatal educator, this one's for you.
We talk about:
- Why controversy in birth work is almost always fear-based (and what that costs your clients)
- The difference between reach and actual clients
- How ordinary pregnant and postpartum people choose birth workers
- Why a sustainable birth business doesn't need to scare anyone
- Real examples of how this plays out in our industry
Working alone in clients' homes comes with risks most birth workers aren't prepared for. Niamh created this free guide to share the 8 safety protocols she learned over two decade of home visits (first in social care services, then in birth work) from what to ask on your intake form to positioning yourself for safety. It takes 2 minutes to read and might be the one thing that matters.
