Fearless Happyness Podcast

Max Nijst

Booking Overview

This is a weekly personal-growth and recovery interview show focused on trauma, addiction, healing, resilience, and finding happiness, featuring practitioners, authors, artists, and people with compelling lived-experience stories. Agencies could credibly pitch addiction and mental-health professionals, trauma-informed therapists, recovery advocates, wellness authors, and transformation-focused experts; booking difficulty is low because guests are generally accessible professionals or individuals with distinctive personal journeys rather than highly prominent public figures.
