In this episode of The Think Factory podcast, we sit down with Becky Rossman, CEO of Tuesdays Promise, an organization dedicated to supporting families affected by 9/11, 9/11-related illnesses, and military service loss. Becky shares how her background as an Army veteran and nonprofit leader shaped her approach to leadership, service, and resilience, as well as how Tuesdays Promise has evolved to meet the long-term needs of the communities it serves.
The conversation explores the realities of grief and trauma, why healing is not linear, and the importance of connection and community in helping people move forward. Becky discusses the organization’s case management, peer support, mental health resources, and Gold Star Youth Mentoring Program, along with its “22 People in 22 Days” challenge designed to encourage meaningful human connection. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, Becky also shares what concerns her most about the future of support for affected families and why giving ourselves grace may be one of the most important steps in the healing process.
