“It has taken me a long time to find a network that truly aligns with the values of the show, which I’ve grown organically and independently over the past four and a half years. I’ve self-funded the podcast from the very beginning, so I’m delighted to be working with Mercury,”
says Kate Moryoussef.
Kate asserts: “My work has never been about quick fixes, productivity hacks or chasing fast results. It’s about helping neurodivergent women find gentler, more sustainable and authentic ways to grow - ones that honor how they naturally want to live and show up in the world. I believe Mercury understands and supports that approach."
Kate continues: “I’m excited to partner with aligned, neuro-affirming and female-focused brands whose work can offer genuine value and meaningful support to my audience.”
“We launched Mercury to support the world’s best independent shows and creators, but we’re also a neurospicy team, so when Kate reached out to us, we knew this was meant to be,” says Mercury’s founder Liam Heffernan.
“This isn’t just a podcast, it’s a global community of people who need this show. Kate and her team are building something really special, and we are so excited to support them.”
The ADHD Women’s Wellbeing Podcast was the winner of the Independent Podcast Award for Best Sex, Love & Relationships Podcast and long listed for Best Host and Best Parenting Podcast at the 2026 British Podcast Awards.
Mercury Podcast Network was born from the lived experience of its founder, Liam Heffernan. Like many independent podcasters, Liam encountered a common challenge familiar to all indie creators: while the shows were strong in content, they lacked the time, visibility, and strategy to grow into sustainable ventures.
Through years of navigating the ups and downs of podcasting, Liam noticed a striking gap in the industry. At one end sit the massive, celebrity-driven shows that dominate listener attention and advertising dollars. At the other, countless small podcasts struggle to find their footing. But in the middle exists a vibrant tier of talented, independent creators, shows too good to be overlooked, yet too small to attract traditional network support.
Mercury was designed to serve this overlooked community. Its ambition is clear: to build an ecosystem for independent podcasters to create, collaborate, grow, and earn. Mercury is a big network with an independent spirit, tearing down gatekeepers and giving a platform to
the best indie shows and creators. Unlike larger networks burdened by high costs, Mercury is built to grow sustainably, providing the right support without compromising independence.
