What collaboration strategies does Hilary Erickson use with other experts like Stephanie Straub?

Most collaborations I do with other experts (like Stephanie Straub, Pediatric Nurse Practitioner) follow a few consistent strategies:

• Clear lane‑drawing: Each expert stays in their zone of expertise (for example, pregnancy and birth for me, pediatrics for Stephanie) so families get confident, evidence-based info without overlap or contradiction.
• Audience alignment: I collaborate with people who share a similar, family-centered, practical approach so the content feels seamless for parents.
• Format variety: Collaborations might be podcast interviews, guest teaching in one another’s programs, joint online events, or cross-promotion of resources.
• Values first: I only collaborate when our ethics, tone, and respect for medical safety line up.

Are you thinking about how we might collaborate, or just curious how to choose collaborators for your own project?
