In 2024, Andrea published her first book Desperate Rants and Magic Pants, a candid account of her seven-year journey through infertility and depression. The book explores the emotional complexities of fertility treatment and encourages more open conversations about a subject often hidden in silence. Building on her experience and public platform, Andrea also hosts the Making Babies podcast, where she speaks with guests about fertility, parenthood and wellbeing. Together, the book and podcast reflect her commitment to breaking taboos and helping others feel less alone.

She is known for combining clarity and authority with warmth and relatability.
She is a Patron of Kidney Wales, an Ambassador for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme, and a supporter of charities including Tomorrow’s Generation and Macmillan Cymru. She also helped introduce Mental Health First Aiders in ITV newsrooms, championing workplace wellbeing.
Andrea holds degrees in English Literature, Politics and Journalism and is a Fellow of the British American Project. Away from work, she is a keen runner, paddle-boarder and yoga enthusiast, and lives in Wales with her husband Lee and their daughter.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
