Apply to Be a Guest on the What Triggers You? Podcast

This application is for listeners who’d like to be considered as a guest on What Triggers You, a podcast with Stacy Pellettieri, LCSW-R. This is not therapy and does not create a therapist-client relationship. Applications are reviewed by Stacy and her team. Applicants can be located anywhere in the world.

If selected, you will be contacted to schedule a 15-minute call with Stacy. Finalists will then be notified within one week of that call if chosen for an episode: a one-time, ~1 hour call, recorded audio-only. Only snippets of the conversation will be used in the published episode (not the entire call). You will receive a separate privacy waiver to review and sign if you are a finalist.

Required checkboxes (must accept all):

I understand this is not therapy and does not replace professional care.

I understand Stacy cannot provide emergency support. If I’m in crisis, I will contact local emergency services.

I understand my application will be reviewed by Stacy AND her team.

I understand the podcast is audio-only, recorded, and snippets of our conversation may be published.

I confirm I’m 18+
