Booking Overview

This is an interview-led mental health and addiction podcast featuring candid conversations with recovery advocates, professionals, and people sharing firsthand experiences of trauma, substance use, and healing. Agencies could credibly pitch addiction-treatment professionals, trauma-informed practitioners, recovery speakers, wellness coaches, and compelling lived-experience advocates; booking difficulty is likely low because the show regularly features accessible professionals and emerging voices rather than predominantly highly prominent public figures.
