Wants
Honest, lived-experience conversations about midlife transition for people aged 35 to 65. Guests who have been through a turning point, such as loss of identity, career change, divorce, burnout, grief, health changes or menopause, fear of the future or feeling like a failure, and found their way back to who they really are. Great fits are coaches, therapists, authors and everyday people with a real story, who can share practical steps alongside the personal journey. Each season explores one of the Nine Principles of Authentic Living: Awareness, Understanding, Trust, Honesty, Empowerment, Nurture, Transformation, Integrity and Compassion. Tell me which principle your story speaks to.
Do not pitch
No sales pitches, product promotion or hard-sell guests. No guests who haven't listened to at least one episode first. No generic pitches that could have gone to any show.
Reachable, but check the format. The contact is the show's own and it is independently published, but recent episode titles show little sign of interviews. Read a few before pitching.
