Podcast Description
We're here to shine another light on the growth in women's sports and celebrate the many dimensions of women playing the game... and by game, we mean the game of life. We don't want to be put in a bucket (even though we like making them!) and want to be seen for more than what we do... what we do is just a fraction of who we are. Join your host, Lauren Duletzke, an everyday gal and fan, and sport contributor, Jacki Gemelos, former WNBA player coach, and sports agent, as we elevate the untold stories of people making an impact at the intersection of woman's sport, business, and culture.
