Hi all.

Wrapping up some work over the next few months before I take August & September off for maternity leave. For those who have been asking for a bump photo, here’s a pic a friend snapped at my baby shower that I love. :-) If anyone has any words of wisdom, advice, or product recommendations for a first time mommy to be, definitely toss them my way! He’s coming within the next 7 weeks and I couldn’t be more excited. :-)

Upcoming sourcing needs

Some copycats in here from last week that I’m still in search of sources for + newbies. Please send any sourcing options in a separate email to NCPajer@gmail.com. Thanks in advance!

URGENT REQUEST: Still could use a few people for this. Hoping for some people of color who fit this demographic: AARP: People age 50+ who have pets that aren’t dogs or cats (think snakes, pot bellied pigs, frogs, etc.). Wrapping up this story and need a few more sources. Anyone know anyone who would be cool to feature in this? Thanks so much in advance!

AARP (PRINT)

• What to do before signing a contract: Looking to connect with some consumer attorneys, lawyers, rights organizations to weigh in on what to do before signing medical contracts at a doctor’s office, a contract to have your roof repaired, a contract to eat a spicy burrito at your local taco shop, etc.

• How Strengthening Your Butt Can Change Your Life: Looking for some trainers and MDs (not affiliated with brands) to talk about how working out your glutes is good for your entire body, how to best prepare your body to climb stairs (whether it’s taking the stairs instead of the elevator, doing the stair master, climbing the bleachers at a nearby park or school) and the benefits of this.

SHONDALAND

• Feeling Low? Here’s How to Come Alive: Many of us have been in a funk lately, no matter the age group. Looking to provide people with expert advice on how to rise out of what have been a rough last few years to find exuberance and fulfillment so to move forward, positively, with whatever life stage you might find yourself in. Looking for life coaches, therapists, experts who would make sense for this to talk about this topic!

TWILL HEALTH

• How to choose your healthcare provider for your pregnancy: Looking to speak to a board-certified OBGYN (not associated with brands) to discuss topics like:

• Considering an ob-gyn or family practice doctor you already see

• Asking people you trust for recommendations

• Searching your insurance provider's website for in-network providers/whether or not they take Medicaid, if you're on it

• Considering where you want to deliver your baby, which hospital or birthing center they're affiliated with

• Considering the location of the office and their hours. You'll be there a lot throughout pregnancy so you must be able to get transportation there, and be able to work it into your schedule.

• Whether or not you need a specialist (for example a MFM, if you're high-risk)

BROOKDALE BLOG (Leading senior housing center in NA with 700+ Locations)

• Common Dog Walking Injuries and How to Avoid Them: Looking to connect with trainers, MDs, and professional dog walkers

• How to Choose the Right Eyeglass Frames for Your Face: Looking to connect with eye doctors (not affiliated with products they are selling)

• Viral coffee hacks that are good for you: Olive oil in coffee? Coffee in protein shakes? Would love to talk to some food experts and chefs (not trying to sell their own line of products) to hear about some viral coffee hacks that are actually good for you!

Please email all source options IN A SEPARATE EMAIL WITH A CORRESPONDING HEADER to NCPajer@gmail.com (NOTE: Emails that reply directly to my Substack get confusing to navigate and usually lost in my inbox).

Thanks all!
