  • Love this show!

    I’m an athlete, in my mid forties now and after a couple of decades of focusing on kids and career, am remembering how much I LOVE sports (and thanks to BJK had access to them as a girl in public school!) I listen to you all when I work out (just started again after a long hiatus due to burnout). You’re helping me find that part of my essential self that feels strong, confident, and inspired. Love you all so much, keep on keeping on!

    Ps. I remember tagging along with my mom around the Cal State... more

  • I changed banks to Ally!

    This podcast is so good, I’m putting my money where my mouth is and I moved from the only bank I’ve had since I was 17 in 1997, and I just opened my checking account with Ally. I’m in the process of moving all my expenses and payments but it’s worth it to support you and the institutions that support you!!!

    Thank you for all your hard work and love to your listeners.

  • Varied and vulnerable

    I don’t really follow sports, but learn something new from these athletes and leave feeling uplifted. The theme song is a bit loud for me, but I can skip ahead. 😁
