Niamh gets personal.. sharing stories not just from her early career in youth justice and youth homelessness in Dublin, but her own pregnancy journey and the loss of her friends because of it. All of this so she can share what she's learned across decades of working with families in crisis and families who were simply left without enough support.
And she connects all of it to one big idea: supporting families through pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period might be one of the most powerful things we can do to change the world.
In this episode Niamh talks about:
What her years working with young men in homelessness taught her about unsupported families
Why the modern village has scattered, and what that means for new parents
Maslow's hierarchy of needs and why so many new parents never get to flourish
A real client story that shows exactly what's at stake when a birthworker shows up
Why so many birthworkers are invisible, and the real cost of that invisibility
Why charging your worth isn't about money, it's about sustainability and impact
Why you are part of the solution to everything that's broken and why the world needs you to keep going
This one is worth sharing with every birthworker you know.
