Papaya Talk

Alyssa Herrera-Set, Nadia Herrera-Set

Booking Overview

A conversational women’s-health show hosted by a mother-daughter duo, combining personal discussions with occasional interviews of friends and early-career professionals. Agencies could credibly pitch accessible healthcare, public-health, mental-health, and career-transition voices with relevant firsthand experience; booking difficulty is low because recent guests have been personal-network contacts rather than prominent public figures.
