Apply to be a guest on UnCeiling You
For women in corporate leadership who are willing to talk about what responsibility really feels like—and what it costs.
If your work speaks directly to corporate women carrying more than their share—formally or not—and you’re ready for a precise, grounded conversation, this page is for you.
Please read this page fully before you apply. It will tell you very clearly whether you belong here.
Why UnCeiling You is worth your time and reputation
You’re not looking for another fluffy interview where you repeat your bio and three talking points. Your calendar is already full of those invites.
UnCeiling You is a focused space for corporate women in leadership who quietly carry the weight of other people’s dropped balls, unspoken expectations, and systemic ceilings that never show up in the job description.
Hosted by Natalie Luke, PhD—Focusing on high-performing professionals with more responsibility than is formally theirs—the show doesn’t chase virality. It chases clarity, precision, and relief for a very specific listener.
Episodes run 30–40 minutes, are recorded in high-quality video and audio, and are published on YouTube and all major podcast platforms. You leave with a sharp, re-usable asset that actually reflects how you think—rather than a surface-level soundbite reel.
Who listens
Directors, VPs, and senior managers in complex corporate environments
Women leading teams, functions, and cross-functional workstreams
High-achieving professionals who are tired in a way they can’t quite name
Leaders who want language for what they’re experiencing, not more mindset advice
What you gain as a guest:
A thoughtful conversation that showcases the depth of your work
Positioning in front of exactly the women your work is designed for
Professionally produced content you can share across channels
A host who does her homework and won’t waste your energy
"Sweetheart, smart, tough. Determined to provide value for her listeners so she plans and prepares to get the most from the interview. WORTHWHILE. I'd happily return."
"She was well prepared, asked good questions and followed a very clearly laid out format. I appreciated her level of attention to detail and would guest again."
"She has a remarkable gift for asking the kind of questions that draw out the gold in someone's story. Our time together felt effortless and energizing."
What We Cover
Before you apply, sanity-check your topic. If it doesn’t live in these zones, this is probably not your stage.
Topics that belong on UnCeiling You
Over-responsibility in leadership: how it starts, how it’s rewarded, and how it burns women out
Leadership identity: the stories women in corporate roles carry about what a "good" leader does and tolerates
Nervous system regulation for leaders who are always "on" in high-stakes environments
Cognitive load and decision fatigue at director/VP/executive levels
Invisible ceilings: structural, cultural, and self-imposed
Practical ways to renegotiate responsibility, boundaries, and expectations without burning bridges
Language leaders can use with their teams, peers, and executives to shift dynamics
Evidence-based approaches (clinical, organizational, or research-informed) that translate into real-world corporate practice
Topics that do NOT belong here
Generic entrepreneurship or "quit your 9–5" stories
Mindset-only content without a clear link to corporate leadership realities
Broad personal branding, visibility, or social media tips
Sales funnels, lead gen, or "grow your following" are the main focus
Spiritual bypassing, toxic positivity, or advice that ignores structural realities
Anything that does not directly serve women currently working in corporate leadership roles
Three ways to be a guest
Choose the experience that matches how you like to prepare and how you plan to use the episode once it’s live.
Standard Guest Experience
Complimentary
The standard experience is ideal if your message is already clear and you’re comfortable dropping straight into the conversation.
You receive:
Featured on a full 30–40 minute interview episode
1 short, shareable video clip
A promotional graphic sized for LinkedIn
A LinkedIn feature from Natalie’s profile
Inclusion in the UnCeiling You email newsletter
A pre-written post you can adapt for your channels
Direct share links to the episode on major platforms
Pre-Interview via Owwll or PodMatch
You'll receive everything included in the Complimentary Standard Guest Experience, plus a focused 30-minute pre-recording conversation with Natalie to identify the "gold thread" for your episode—the through-line that ties your story, your expertise, and the listener's reality together.
Together we'll clarify which examples to bring, which parts of your experience to foreground, and what you want the listener to walk away able to do or name differently.
This session is available through either Owwll or PodMatch—whichever platform you're already on or prefer. If you're not yet on either, no problem. I can send you a link to get started, and if you join Owwll, you'll receive a $10 credit to apply toward the pre-interview. PodMatch does not include a credit, but both platforms work great. Just let me know your preference once your application is accepted.
Amplification Package
$397
Designed for guests who want to fully leverage the episode as part of their thought leadership and marketing ecosystem.
You receive everything in the Standard Guest Experience, plus:
3 additional short, platform-ready clips (4 total)
An audiogram with a branded quote graphic
A dedicated standalone email at launch, featuring your episode
A second email, 3–4 weeks post-launch, to resurface your episode
A licensed, fully edited video file you can host or repurpose
A 30-day performance summary with key metrics and insights
What happens after you apply
UnCeiling You is a curated show. Not every application is accepted, and that is intentional.
Here’s what to expect:
You submit your application using the button below.
Within 7-14 business days, you’ll receive a clear yes, no, or "not yet" response.
If it’s a yes, you’ll receive a scheduling link, prep guidance, and an option to add a pre-interview via Owwll/Podmatch and/or the Amplification Package.
If it’s a no, it will be because the topic is not a fit for this very specific listener, not a judgment of your work.
If it’s a "not yet", we may suggest adjustments that would make the conversation a better fit in the future.
Automatic disqualifiers — do not apply if:
Your topic does not directly serve corporate women in leadership.
You have not listened to at least two full episodes of UnCeiling You before applying.
You cannot commit to actively promoting the episode once it airs (sharing on LinkedIn and your primary channels).
If any of these are true, it's kinder to both of us if you don't apply.
If you recognize the woman this show is for, you’re in the right place.
UnCeiling You exists for a specific woman: a corporate leader who is competent, trusted, and deeply tired of holding more than she can name.
Guests are chosen for the precision of their fit with her reality—not for their follower count, viral potential, or on-camera performance. If your work helps her name what she’s carrying and offers grounded ways forward, I want to hear from you.
If you simply want a stage—any stage—this is not the right one.
If you’re ready for a clear, unsentimental conversation that respects what leadership actually costs, I’d be glad to consider your application.
You’ll be taken to a short application form. Expect to share your topic, your connection to corporate women in leadership, and how you plan to promote the episode.
