Some upcoming calls for sources
Hi friends! Here are some upcoming source requests. But 1st, here’s a little weekend inspiration. :-)
OK now to the good stuff. Here’s what I’m looking for. Please email NCPajer@gmail.com with ideas:
HEALTHY WOMEN
Eczema & sexual health: I am working on a story about eczema and sexual health. Looking to speak with a woman who has eczema who can talk about how it has affected her romantic life, either in going out on dates or within a committed relationship. The goal of the story is to raise awareness of this often overlooked side effect of eczema and give women some advice on how to troubleshoot. Thanks in advance!
AARP
Hearing loss: Need an audiologist for a story on hearing loss.
How to host backyard BBQ: Looking for experts to weigh in on how to throw a backyard BBQ & would also love to talk to real people age 50+ who have thrown some successful BBQs in the past to get their tips.
How to start up a new hobby later in life: Looking for people to weigh in on this & would also love to talk to real people age 50+ who have taken up a new hobby later on in life.
BROOKDALE (Leading senior housing center in North America with 700+ locations)
How to move with plants: Looking for a few people to talk about how to move with plans. I can mention a brand with a plant expert attached. This is definitely a consideration for people when downsizing from a home to an apartment.
Looking for things like:
What types of plants are easily relocated? Why or why not?
Are there other plants that might be more traumatized by a move? How can you help them adjust?
What are some tips on how to move with plants? (Looking for tips like how to pack a plant, remove it as soon as you get to your new place, do X to help them get acclimated, etc.)
How can you make the transition easier on your plants?
How can you tell if a plant is in transplant shock? How to help it recover.
How can gratitude change your brain?
Looking for a few gratitude experts to weigh in on things like:
What are the benefits of a regular gratitude practice—what is some of the neuroscience behind how it’s beneficial to your brain?
What are some ideas for how to do practice more journal - maybe things like a rec for a cute journal and an app like the 5-minute journal, to work in more gratitude.
GREAT PET CARE
Dogs & baby shampoo: I need several veterinarians and pet groomers to talk about using baby shampoo on dogs.
Looking forward to connecting. ox Nicole
