Dating, Relationships, and Disability

Kathy O'Connell

Booking Overview

This is a disability-focused dating and relationships podcast that combines host-led guidance with occasional interviews featuring relationship coaches, human-services professionals, and people with relevant lived experience. PR agencies could credibly pitch relationship and intimacy experts, disability advocates, dating coaches, and accessibility or human-services professionals; booking difficulty is likely low because guests are generally accessible specialists rather than high-profile public figures.
