Booking Overview

This is a faith-based recovery and mental-health interview show focused on women navigating sexual addiction, healing, relationships, and Catholic spirituality; its external guests are typically credentialed helping professionals. Suitable pitches include Catholic therapists, trauma-informed clinicians, registered dietitians, marriage educators, and recovery specialists with practical expertise relevant to women's healing. Booking difficulty is low to medium because guests generally need subject-matter credibility and alignment with the show's Catholic, recovery-oriented mission rather than major public prominence.
