In this deeply moving conversation, we welcome Alana Herman, Brittany Conigatti-Lucchesi, and Jessica Pisano — the founders of The Girls Who Grieve, a Staten Island–based community helping young women navigate the complexities of loss. Born from heartbreak and built on hope, The Girls Who Grieve offers a safe space where grief doesn't have to be hidden, silenced, or "gotten over."

Whether you're grieving yourself or supporting someone who is, this conversation will open your heart, bring comfort, and remind you that you're never alone.

Next week is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and we're diving into a conversation that's incredibly important—but often overlooked. While we often associate eating disorders with extreme weight loss or visible struggles, the reality is far more complex. Many women—especially athletes—struggle with disordered eating patterns that fly under the radar and we are ready to shed light on it all. We discuss: The factors that have shaped our relationship with food Why women are more prone to disordered eating The importance of fueling for performance and overall health And so much more!
