Hi There,
What a wonderful idea. So many young women these days have no one to look up to that have been where they are. All the more inspirational if the person addressing them have gone on and made their life a success.
Have you considered how you would like to structure your talks. In small groups, large groups or maybe one on one? Are you thinking about holding your talks in community centres, high schools, homeless shelters, etc?
In regards to promoting yourself, your options are endless. Approach schools for pregnant teens, maternity hospitals, high schools, community centres, refuges specifically for women, etc. Anywhere that you feel could take advantage of your proposed service.
In regards to charging a fee, I don't see anything wrong with this but I do believe the fee shouldn't be paid by the young mums to be. Perhaps offer a low fee to start with while your building a rep for yourself and increase it as demand increases. Do some research into what other motivational speakers charge and decide how your talk will compare. Keep in mind that many schools and other centres are on tight budgets so make your charges reflect that aspect.
All the best with your future as a motivational speaker.
