Share Your Story on Sparkles 4 Mental Health
Thoughtful conversations about struggle, resilience, meaning, and the next true step
I invite selected guests to share lived experience, professional insight, or practical wisdom that can help listeners understand difficult terrain and move forward with greater clarity and hope.
Sparkles 4 Mental Health is an established podcast now returning as part of the wider Recover Your Sparkle project.
About "Sparkles 4 Mental Health"
Sparkles 4 Mental Health is an established podcast and video show hosted by Dr. Christine Sauer, a German-trained physician, educator, author, and creator of Recover Your Sparkle.
The show offers thoughtful conversations about the difficult terrain people face—and what can help them recover hope, meaning, resilience, and a sense of aliveness.
Episodes may include personal stories, professional insights, practical education, and honest discussions about the work of being human.
Our guiding question is simple:
What might help someone understand their terrain and find one next true step?

What the Conversation Is Like
The show is warm, thoughtful, relaxed, and conversational.
It is not intended to be a rigid question-and-answer interview. We will explore your story, your work, what you have learned, and what may be most useful to listeners.
Most conversations are:
- Recorded remotely on Zoom
- Approximately 30–45 minutes long
- Recorded as both video and audio
- Edited when needed for clarity, length, or technical quality
- Published on YouTube, podcast platforms, DocChristine.com, and selected social media channels
Video is preferred whenever possible. Please use a quiet location, a stable internet connection, good lighting, and the best microphone or headset available to you.
This show is owned and operated by Dr. Christine Sauer MD ND and by DocChristine Coaching Inc. (https://DocChristine.com).
She will do the interviews herself and can publish the show on YouTube, major podcasting sites, the main podcast page , on her website blog (if upgraded) and everywhere else where podcasts are shared.
What You May Share
During the conversation, you may briefly tell listeners about your work and share one relevant resource, such as:
- Your website
- A book
- A free guide or lead magnet
- A program, service, event, or community
- Another resource directly connected to the episode
The conversation must remain useful and educational rather than becoming an extended sales presentation.
Participation, Selection, and Promotion
There is no fee to apply or to participate in a standard podcast interview.
Guests are selected based on relevance, fit, credibility, and potential value for listeners. Submitting an application does not guarantee an invitation, recording, publication date, or specific promotional results.
Appearing on the podcast does not mean that DocChristine endorses every opinion, claim, product, program, or service discussed by a guest.
I may decide not to publish a recording if serious technical, ethical, factual, safety, or suitability concerns arise.
Affiliate and Business Relationships
Some episodes or show notes may include affiliate links. If a listener purchases through one of these links, DocChristine Coaching Inc. may receive a commission at no additional cost to the listener.
Affiliate or business relationships do not determine which guests are invited. When a relevant relationship exists, it will be clearly disclosed.
Before You Apply
Please be prepared to tell me:
- Why your story or expertise is relevant to the audience
- What you would most like to discuss
- What listeners may understand or be able to do differently after the conversation
- Where people can learn more about you
- Whether you have a book, guide, program, or other resource you hope to mention
You do not need a perfect story or a polished performance.
You do need something honest, meaningful, and useful to share.
