Inside Ladies Playbook

Join hosts Atoya Burleson and Tia Avril as they find time for self-care on this week's episode of the insideLINES podcast!

Atoya and Tia kick off the episode with highlights from their week! Atoya is full of mixed emotions as her oldest Nate Jr. gets his driver's license over the weekend! Now the search begins for his first car. Tia received her second vaccine dose over the weekend, so knocked her out. 

Up next, it's another edition of Hot Takes. This week, the ladies share their thoughts on Zaire Wade being drafted to the Salt Lake City Stars, the minor league basketball team of the Utah Jazz. Zaire’s dad, former NBA player Dwayne Wade, has a minority ownership stake in The Jazz, and some say Zaire may not be deserving of a tenth round selection. 

Then, the ladies reunite with Kelly Stafford. Kelly, a former University of Georgia cheerleader and wife to LA Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, discusses challenges she faced during her IVF journey and how deciding not to breastfeed her fourth child led to her being more mentally healthy following childbirth. Kelly also shares how she discovered she had a rare brain tumor after almost collapsing while holding one of her children. She also recently launched The Morning After with Kelly Stafford podcast where she chats about her everyday experiences. 

Lastly, Kristyn Bly has this week’s Mindful Moment where she offers her views on prioritizing self care.

Hosts Atoya Burleson and Tia Avril are staying grounded on this week's episode of the insideLINES podcast.

First, Atoya and Tia kick off the episode with highlights from the week! Atoya and her husband Nate hosted a Louis Vuitton Mobile Experience where the luxury giant brought a mobile trailer right into their backyard. The two invited friends and family and had the event catered for a night full of shopping and fun! Tia had a weekend full of kids sports but also found time to say YES more to couples date nights as well as a ladies night out! 

Then, it’s time for “Hot Takes” where the ladies are joined by their producer Scott Riggs. The three share their thoughts on a post made to the Reddit subgroup “Am I the Asshole” asking AITA for putting my wife on a budget? The user goes on to explain that since tying the knot earlier this year, his wife has stopped working and has been on a spending spree since. After attempts to curb her spending habits were unsuccessful, the husband instituted a strict budget to the dismay of his wife.  

Next, Kristyn Bly gets into this week’s Mindful Moment where she offers her views on staying grounded and finding peace.

Next up, Nikki Jordan joins the ladies for a fun chat! Nikki, a former professional basketball player and wife to current New Orleans Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, dishes on her experience playing professional basketball overseas in Finland and Germany following a difficult career at Rutgers University. She also shares how discovering she was expecting her first child derailed plans to pursue a major basketball contract leading to the end of her dreams pursuing a career as a WNBA player.

Join hosts Atoya Burleson and Tia Avril as they get spiritual on the insideLINES podcast!

First, Atoya and Tia kick off the episode with highlights from another busy week! Tia attended Ciara Wilson’s launch event for her new rum Ten to One! Atoya had lots of kids and sports this week, but mostly found time to relax with her husband Nate.

Then, it’s time for “Hot Takes” where the ladies share their thoughts on comments made by ESPN’s Sportcenter Co-host, Sage Steele during her interview with former NFL QB Jay Cutler on his podcast Uncut with Jay Cutler. Sage made some outrageous comments regarding former President Barack Obama’s identity as well as some comments on female sports reporters and sexual harassment.

Next up, Sara Lovestyle joins us for an amazing chat! Sara, a serial entrepreneur and wife to former NFL defensive tackle Ziggy Hood, shares how she reunited with the Virginia pastor who sponsored her family from a Sudanese refugee camp and how having a heart attack at age 23 led to her launching her brand “Sara Lovestyle.” She also reflects on the blame and guilt she felt raising a child with autism and her husband’s struggle to talk about the challenges of raising special needs children as well as her journey to starting her own spice company Belay & Bell. She’s even started dabbling in CPG and tech investing! 

Then, it's on to the Fantasy Football segment where Atoya and Tia give you updates on the latest injuries in the NFL and some suggest on fantasy replacements for all these injured players!

Finally, they wrap things up with Mindful Moments where Kristyn Bly offers her view on surviving the past 18 months and, more importantly, persevering.

Join hosts Atoya Burleson and Tia Avril as they find their purpose on the insideLINES podcast.

Tia and Atoya kick off the episode with highlights from their busy week! Tia and her husband Cliff held their 8th annual fundraising dinner, Dining to Make a Difference - a celebrity waiter event benefiting the Cliff Avril Family Foundation. The foundation supports several health and education initiatives in the Seattle area as well as their work in Haiti to improve health and education for kids in the country. Atoya attended the kickoff event for the Great Girlfriends’ Doers & Disrupters Conference - a conference dedicated to igniting great girlfriends and putting their ideas into motion. Atoya is also serving on a panel at the conference on motherhood. 

The ladies then head into “Hot Takes'' and share their take on a discussion Tom Brady had on the SiriusXM NFL Radio's show "Let's Go!" where the Buccaneers’ QB suggested that maybe the NFL has gotten a bit soft! 

Next up, the ladies have an inspiring conversation with top sports agent and President of Football Operations at Klutch Sports Group, Nicole Lynn. In 2019, Nicole became the first Black woman in NFL history to represent a top-three draft pick when the New York Jets selected her client, Quinnen Williams, as the third overall pick. Nicole chats about overcoming imposter syndrome, finding your purpose, and the importance of self-care. Nicole also shares why she wrote her new book, Agent You and how to gain credibility and trust working in a male dominated industry. 

Then, it's on to the Fantasy Football segment where Atoya and Tia give you updates on the latest injuries in the NFL and the leaders in the insideLINES Fantasy Football league. 

Finally, they wrap things up with Mindful Moments where Kristyn Bly offers guidance on dealing with trauma, especially when it is unrecognized.

Then, it's on to the Fantasy Football segment where Atoya and Tia give you updates on the latest injuries in the NFL, their favorite Running Backs (6-10) for week 2 as well as their Sit’em/Start’em and Steal of the Week picks. Best of luck in your Fantasy Leagues this week!

Finally, they wrap things up with Mindful Moments brought to us by Kristyn Bly, mental health professional, owner of Daybreak Counseling and wife to former NFL cornerback Dre Bly.  Kristyn shares some inspirational words that will help you elevate your mind, re-energize your body, and heal your soul.
