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." In this episode, we explore the realities of grief — how it changes over time, how movement and mindfulness can be part of the healing process, and why community can turn shared sorrow into unexpected strength.

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.

We discuss 

• How grief shows up mentally, physically, and emotionally, and challenging societal expectations.
• The transformations that happen when grief is witnessed and shared.
• Why our culture avoids grief conversations and how GWG is changing that narrative.
• Finding joy again, grounding rituals, and life after loss.

A huge thank you to Alana, Brittany, and Jess for sharing your wisdom, experiences, and hearts with us. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with a friend who might benefit — and check out The Girls Who Grieve on Instagram to join their next series.
