Who we're looking for
Women with a healing journey
You carried tokophobia, pregnancy anxiety, birth trauma or reproductive trauma – and came out the other side. Your story is the most powerful thing we publish, and we'll handle it with care: you approve everything before it goes out.
Experts & researchers
Midwives, obstetricians, therapists, perinatal mental health researchers and practitioners with a perspective our listeners haven't heard. Bring evidence and plain English – we'll bring the audience.
PR agencies & publicists
Pitching an author, founder or expert in the mother & baby or women's health space? We welcome agency pitches that fit the show. Commercial placements live separately – see Advertise for sponsorship and the rate card.
What makes a pitch land
- A topic or perspective the show hasn't covered – check the episode archive first
- A clear idea of what listeners will take away from the conversation
- Willingness to share the episode with your own audience once it's live
- For stories: you're far enough along your journey to tell it safely
What you can expect from us
- A produced episode on a show with 1.5m+ downloads in 180+ countries
- Article-grade show notes and a transcript published on this site
- No fear-mongering framing, ever – of your topic or anyone else's
- For story guests: full editorial care, and nothing published without your sign-off
Three things, one message
- Who you are (or who you're pitching) – one short paragraph, with links.
- The episode idea – what we'd talk about and why it matters to women facing reproductive fear.
- Where we can hear or read you – previous interviews, writing, or a voice note.
