Strong Girl Talk Podcast

Whether you’re a strong girl yourself or are raising one, this show is for you. 

Welcome to Strong Girl Talk, the podcast where we’re looking at the latest in sports science and culture with a focus on women and girls. Hosted by Molly Hurford and Dr. Sasha Gollish, Strong Girl Talk is a valuable resource for women and girls in sports, offering a unique blend of personal experiences, expert knowledge, and cutting-edge research. From the importance of role models to chats with author-athletes like Olympian Micha Powell to deep dives into the sports science you need to know to help your athlete navigate puberty and performance and the latest in sports nutrition, we’re talking about it all. No topic is off limits—and we don’t just scratch the surface, we’re digging into the science.

Molly Hurford is an author, journalist, podcaster, and ultra-runner with extensive experience in cycling, running, and nutrition. She’s the founder of Strong Girl Publishing and the author of the Shred Girls series and her lifelong mission is to help bring more women and girls into outdoor adventures and sports. She’s also the cohost of the Consummate Athlete Podcast, which explores endurance sports and the best racing, training and mindset information.

Dr. Sasha Gollish is an elite runner, researcher and engineer with a deep commitment to gender equity in sports, and the Executive Director of the Yellow Running Shoes nonprofit. As a sport scientist, she explores the intersection of physiology, performance, and inclusion, particularly in relation to women and girls in athletics. An advocate for evidence-based approaches to training, competition, and well-being, she has been open about her experiences with perimenopause and its effects on performance.
