Let's Talk

Join Acting Coach and Life Coach Gianna Palminteri for a women’s wellness workshop.  Rediscover your best self and create the life you’ve been dreaming of. Gianna has spent years working with students only to discover that the moms needed some attention as well. And that got her to thinking .... Women should take some time to nurture their dreams. So she started working with women and saw some amazing changes in their mind, body & soul. Now it's your turn. You've spent years showing up for everyone else ... it's time to show up for yourself. This is your time to pause, reflect, reset and step into what's next, on your terms.

We are excited to announce the launch of B&NC TALKS, designed to bring the magazine's stories to life in real time. Conceived as a curated live series, B&NC Talks is a forum to gather a dynamic mix of voices: leading experts at the top of their fields, notable figures connected to cultural moments and premieres, and compelling individuals from within the readership to share their perspectives with our community in an intimate environment, designed to foster exchange of ideas. Because we are all better when we are educated and connected with an opportunity to broaden our perspectives. The inaugural talk will be exploring AI (Artificial Intelligence). We will be joined in discussion by John Roa (featured in the July/Aug '25 issue) a leading AI CEO and expert. John cuts through the hype and the doom to explain how these systems really work, where they fail, and what parents, professionals, and neighbors should really be paying attention to. AI, Honestly... we look forward to hearing your questions! 

Author and grief coach Kate Doerge knows this too well. Over six years, she lost her father to heart failure and her mother in a car accident five days before Christmas. She also faced the hardest challenge for any parent, losing her sixteen-year-old daughter, Penny, to complications from a rare genetic condition. After Penny's death, Kate knew she had a choice, she could lose herself to a grief so powerful she might not come back from it—or she could find another way through. Reimagining Grief is the result of that search. Drawing from her own experience, the latest research, and conversations with others who have faced devastating loss, Kate offers five actions that can help ground you when you feel out of control, lift you when you're depleted, and help you process the pain of loss. Moderated by Nancy Steiner.
