Share Your Story
Thank you for considering sharing your story on the Disabled Parenthood Podcast.
This podcast exists to make disabled pregnancy and parenthood more visible through real conversations with disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent people. My hope is that someone who is wondering what parenthood could look like for them will hear stories that will help them feel a little less alone.
If that sounds like a conversation you’d enjoy being part of, I’d love to hear from you.
What to expect
This podcast is audio-first (with the option to be on video if you prefer). It is intentionally conversational more like a phone call than an interview. No expertise or preparation is required, your lived experience is enough. We can pause at any time and there are no right answers. If there’s something afterward you’d rather not include, we can cut it.
Recording
- Approximately 60-75 minutes
- Recorded remotely
- Audio is the primary format
- Video may be used during recording to make conversation easier if you prefer, but full video episodes are not currently planned
- You’ll receive any logistics beforehand
