Welcome to the Ridiculously You Podcast guest application!

Ridiculously You is for people whose lives make others stop and say:

“Wait... you actually do that?”

We’re looking for the beautifully unconventional. People who built something strange, chased an obsession, reinvented themselves, walked through something extraordinary, or simply refused to live the way they were expected to.

Your life is the story.

Julie wants the messy middle, the weird details, the thing you used to hide, the moment you stopped shrinking, and the parts of your story that could only belong to you.

A Quick Note About Interview Placements

Only a handful of guests each month are selected for no-cost editorial placements based on story, fit, and the conversations Julie is currently curating.

For coaches, speakers, and experts, the sponsored episode with a $300 sponsorship and production fee will typically be the most likely path unless your life and story stand out far beyond your expertise. We are not looking for experts to simply talk about authenticity. We are looking for lived ridiculousness.

The sponsored track is also designed for guests who want more visibility around their appearance. Sponsored guests receive the same real Ridiculously You conversation, plus a press release about their episode, and a clip may be used in paid promotion to help grow the Ridiculously You audience and community.

Every guest must still be a genuine fit for the show. We share both options upfront so there are no surprises.

Your Story

What makes your life different from most people’s? Pretend you are sitting next to someone on an airplane. By the end of the conversation, they say: “Wait... you actually do THAT?” What did you tell them? *

In one sentence, finish this statement: “My ridiculously unique superpower is...” This is not an elevator pitch. Tell us something genuinely distinctive about you that has become one of your greatest strengths.

What quirky trait, unusual interest, or part of yourself did you once hide, apologize for, or tone down that you now celebrate? *

What had hiding, shrinking or trying to fit someone else’s expectations cost you, and what was the moment you realized shrinking was no longer an option? Think about the impact on your identity, relationships, health, career, creativity or sense of belonging. *

What assumption do people commonly make about you that is completely wrong? *

The Episode

What are the three moments or stories from your life that would make the strongest episode? For each one, briefly tell us what happened, why it mattered, and what changed because of it. *

Final Details

Is there anything Julie should know before interviewing you? This could include topics that are off-limits, legal sensitivities, personal boundaries, accessibility needs, or something important that should not be approached casually. *

Are you willing to actively share your episode when it is released? *

Yes
