BEHIND THE PAGE: Autoimmunity & The Good Girls™
For generations, women have been told to be “good,” to put others first, to silence their own voices, to neglect their own needs. Now, Sara Hirsh Bordo, award-winning documentary filmmaker and founder of Women Rising®, a production company telling true stories of women and girls, is looking to break that cycle with her limited-edition podcast BEHIND THE PAGE: AUTOIMMUNITY & THE GOOD GIRLS™launching March 31st. This 10-episode series of interviews with experts spanning science to soul explores how and why women who put themselves first have the power to lead healthier lives.
Hirsh Bordo conducted more than 50 hours of interviews while researching her forthcoming book, Autoimmunity and The Good Girls: How Permission to Put Ourselves First Has the Power to Keep Us Well (June, 2, 2026 | HarperOne), which focuses on the missing modality in female wellness: sovereign self-permission to speak up, transform, and heal. BEHIND THE PAGE takes listeners behind the scenes, sharing highlights from the conversations she had with authorities in various fields such as medicine, psychology, and trauma recovery.
BEHIND THE PAGE launches March 31st, 2026 across major podcast streaming platforms, and will feature music by MILCK along with a new 15-minute interview each week from the following experts:
