About this episode

The episode marks the return of HIT Like a Girl Pod with a focus on women's voices in healthcare and introduces a new format for discussions.

After a much-needed pause, HIT Like a Girl Pod is back—and this time, Joy isn't doing it alone. Joy Rios reunites with Grace Vinton and Rebecca Love to relaunch the show as a trio: built on joy, fueled by love, and led with grace. In this first conversation, they catch up on where life has taken them—Joy's broken ankle and move to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico; Rebecca's deep dive into healthcare AI as a chief nursing and clinical officer; and Grace's work as a healthcare storyteller and patient advocate. Together, they explore the leadership vacuum in healthcare, the isolation women are feeling, and the need for authentic conversations without burnout. They also introduce their new format: themed mini-series with three distinct lenses—patient, nursing, and policy & tech. Plus: a first look at their upcoming November retreat in Puerto Vallarta for women leaders in healthcare and health IT. Welcome back.
