Welcome to The Girls Room After Dark, where women take center stage.

Hosts Callie Greenberg and Jaime Silva aren't afraid to have the conversations others avoid; we dive into the real, raw, and unfiltered topics shaping our lives. From sex, endometriosis, and chronic illness to mental health, dating, ambition, and personal growth, no subject is off limits.

Born from the Endo Warriors Podcast community, The Girls Room After Dark expands the conversation while staying true to its mission: creating a space where women feel seen, heard, informed, and empowered.

Think of it as the conversation you'd have with your closest friends after the lights go down. Honest, vulnerable, supportive, and sometimes a little spicy.

    Useless Things Doctors Tell Women in Pain | Bonnie Gross Writer of Lady Parts Film | EP27
    2026/06/30

    Bonnie Gross is the writer and executive producer of Lady Parts, an award-winning indie comedy based on her own true story of living with chronic vulvar pain and eventually moving home with her parents to undergo a vestibulectomy — surgery to remove excess nerve endings in the vulvar vestibule. The film has screened across the country and won multiple awards, but before any of that, Bonnie spent years being told to relax, drink wine, try lube, and just "breathe."

    Callie and Jaime sit down with Bonnie to go deep on what it's really like to have a condition called neuroproliferative vestibulodynia — where too many nerve endings in the vulvar vestibule cause severe, chronic pain. Bonnie describes what it felt like from the time she was a teenager: tampons that felt like burning, sex that felt like a hot knife, everyday activities like wearing pants or riding a bike that most people don't think twice about. She walks through the years of medical gaslighting she experienced, including doctors who blamed anxiety, suggested she stop being "so promiscuous" (ironic, since pain was the actual problem), and prescribed Xanax instead of investigating her symptoms.

    The conversation gets into the real details that nobody talks about: what dilator therapy actually involves after surgery, how long it took (about a year to get to dilator number four), and the mental work required to retrain a body that had spent years in protective guarding mode. They also talk about pelvic floor dysfunction, what "hypertonic" actually means, and why pelvic PT is one of the most under-recommended tools in women's healthcare.

    Bonnie shares the moment her insurance company called her surgery cosmetic, denying coverage for the removal of nerve tissue causing her daily pain. She also opens up about her traumatic first pap smear at 18 — a doctor who held her down and told her to stop squirming — and how that experience kept her away from life-saving screenings for years, even knowing cervical cancer runs in her family.

    The group digs into a bigger systemic issue: right now, there is nothing in OBGYN residency curriculum requiring that doctors learn about conditions like vestibulodynia or lichen sclerosus. Endometriosis was only recently added to training guidelines. Bonnie volunteers with an organization called Tightlips, which is currently pushing to change that.

  • Stage 4 Endo, IVF, and Building Serae: An Honest Conversation with Carly Roland & Rica Wyman | Ep. 26

    Stage 4 Endo, IVF, and Building Serae: An Honest Conversation with Carly Roland & Rica Wyman | Ep. 26
    2026/06/23
    Website: seraehealth.com ( Use code GIRLSROOM for 10% off your purchase) This is one of those episodes we're going to be thinking about for a long time. This week, Callie and Jamie are joined by Carly Roland — actress (Dark Winds, Law & Order: SVU, NBC, AMC, Netflix), writer, director, and founder of Serae, a women's wellness supplement company she built after more than a decade living with endometriosis. Alongside her is Rica Wyman, a medical technology executive, IVF mom of two, and fellow stage 4 endo warrior who now serves on Serae's board. Together they cover what it actually looks like to live with endometriosis long-term: the chocolate cysts, the surgeries that run four hours when they were supposed to be two, the infertility diagnoses no one prepares you for, the doctors who dismiss you, and the PTSD that sits quietly in your body on even the good days. They also get into the science behind Serae — why Carly spent years developing a formula with clinically backed ingredients like NAC, bromelain, and ALA (backed by the LEAP study), what therapeutic dosing actually means, and why she kept it to three capsules instead of eight. Plus: the link between endo and gut health, vitamin D deficiency, hormonal and immune regulation, and why women with complex hormonal diseases are still being told to "just take some ibuprofen." And before they wrap, Callie and Jamie announce something big: Endo Excision for All is hosting its first annual fundraising gala in Boston on October 11 — and Carly Roland is their keynote guest of honor. This episode is for every woman who has ever been dismissed, who has Googled symptoms at 2am, or who is just trying to figure out how to feel better inside a body that keeps throwing curveballs. Topics covered in this episode: Stage 4 endometriosis diagnosis stories (Rica and Carly)Endometriomas, chocolate cysts, and ovarian torsionIVF, diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), and fertility after endoExcision surgery: what it is, what it costs, and why 45 minutes isn't itHow endo affects the gut, immune system, and full body — not just the reproductive systemThe LEAP study and the clinical research behind Serae's formula (ALA, bromelain, NAC)Vitamin D deficiency and endoWhy Carly built Serae and what makes it different from other women's supplementsThe real financial burden of managing a chronic hormonal diseaseEndo, PTSD, and what it takes from you day to dayAlcohol, inflammation, and choosing to stop drinkingHow chronic illness reshapes your relationships and your boundariesEndo Excision for All: first annual gala, Boston, October 11 SHOW NOTES Guests Carly Roland — Actress, writer, director, and founder of Serae. Carly has appeared in Dark Winds (AMC), Pulse, Law & Order: SVU (NBC), and projects for Netflix and other major networks. Diagnosed with endometriosis over a decade ago, she developed Serae after years of navigating chronic pain, multiple surgeries, infertility, and IVF — and not finding a supplement that addressed the full-body nature of the disease.

  • "I Wish It Was Drugs" | Candice Guardino on Endo, IVF, and the Joke That Got Her Through It

    "I Wish It Was Drugs" | Candice Guardino on Endo, IVF, and the Joke That Got Her Through It
    2026/06/09

    Welcome to the very first episode of The Girls Room Project After Dark — and we're not easing you in.

    Candice Guardino is a comedian, actress, singer, and screenwriter best known for her one-woman theatrical comedy special Italian Bred, streaming on Amazon and Apple TV. She's been called the real-life Italian version of the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,

    Before she was making sold-out audiences laugh about growing up in Staten Island with a loud, unapologetically Italian family, she was sitting in fertility clinics, giving herself injections she called "I wish this was drugs," and learning — at 36 years old, after more than a decade of painful periods, failed IVF rounds, surgeries, and miscarriages — that she had stage 3 endometriosis.

    Nobody told her. Nobody connected the dots. And she's done being quiet about it.

    In this episode, Callie Greenberg and Candice Guardino go deep on the stuff nobody puts on the highlight reel: what it actually feels like to be dismissed by a dozen doctors, what IVF with endo looks like versus what the industry promises, the moment a dermoid cyst had grown so large it was pressing into her chest cavity (and she was blaming stress), and the natural IVF round with no medication that finally gave her her son, Maverick.

    They also talk about the shame spiral — apologizing to your husband for being a "lemon," calling your mom after a hysterectomy diagnosis to say you're sorry, and why the endo + infertility community still isn't showing the stories that don't end with a baby photo.

    This one's funny, this one's raw, and this one is long overdue.
