Welcome back to Babes 'n' Sports, with your hosts, longtime sports babes and mamas Jamie Hersch and Tory Zawacki Roy.

This week, we welcome ESPN and ACC Network college football reporter Andrea Adelson, who shares her take on the latest ACC standings—and the unique challenge of covering new conference members Stanford, Cal, and SMU while juggling life as a mom of two.

Together, the ladies dive into what real support looks like in sports media—and how confidence can come from experience, encouragement from colleagues, or even unexpected allies like coaches and players. Tory reflects on her time covering Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, while Jamie recalls her early days on the sports beat in Madison, Wisconsin.

Just another week with your mom friends, but make it sports.
