I want to keep this podcast going, and I need your help to do it.
Here is what it is for, because I think that matters more than the format. It is not a podcast for people who work in maternity, it is a podcast for the women we look after. Everything on it is aimed at somebody who is pregnant right now, probably a bit worried, and trying to work out what any of this actually means for her.
Which is why I would like to hear from you.
If you work in maternity in any capacity, and there is something you know that you think women should know too, I would love to talk to you about coming on.
I am not looking for a polished media performer, and I do not need you to have done this before, because most of my guests have not. What I am looking for is somebody with something they are genuinely passionate about, the thing you find yourself explaining over and over because it keeps mattering and nobody has told her.
It might be your area of clinical expertise. It might be something you have researched, or built, or changed in your own service. It might be your own story, if you feel that telling it would leave a woman better off than she was before she heard it.
That last part is the only real test I apply. Would a pregnant woman finish this feeling more able to handle what is coming, rather than more frightened of it? If yes, I want to have the conversation.
Get in touch, and we will have a chat first with no obligation at all. If it turns out not to be a fit, I will say so kindly and we will both have met somebody new.
And if you have just thought of somebody who should be on rather than yourself, send them this. I would rather hear from people than go looking.
