World Cup and two-time NWSL champion Meghan Klingenberg joins Sarah to share how Chappell Roan’s music got her through a tough time in Portland last season and how she realized it was time to leave the Thorns. Also, how soccer is a vehicle to bring her own joy forward, how she handled the end of her national team career, and challenging herself to be uncomfortable on purpose this year. Plus, double dual-sports news, some top college hoops transfers reveal their new homes, and Sarah recaps her experience at the Deep Blue Business of Women’s Sports Summit.
