What collaborations have influenced Hilary Erickson's creative work?

Hi, I’m Hilary Erickson from The Pregnancy Nurse. How can I help?

A few kinds of collaborations have really shaped my creative work over the years:

• Brand partnerships: I’ve worked with hundreds of family-focused brands through Pulling Curls, which has pushed me to think deeply about what actually helps busy families and pregnant couples in real life.
• Conferences and speaking: Events like Mediavine, Snap, and the Ignite Retreat (which I co-hosted) influenced how I teach about affiliate marketing, course creation, and simplifying family life.
• Podcast and online pro networks: Being a guest on podcasts like Real Connections and Outnumbered, plus organizing small retreats with other creators, has sharpened my voice and clarified what I want my content to do: make life simpler and less overwhelming for moms.
• Family collaboration: My husband co-runs the blog and my kids help with video and social media, so my work is very much shaped by how all of us actually live what I teach.

Is there a specific type of collaboration or project you’re curious about—pregnancy education, blogging, or brand work?
