In the ninth episode of the 2025 season, Sox Populi podcaster Delia Ritchie joins host Melissa Sage-Bollenbach and our special guest Kirsten Ramos. Kristen is the CEO of her own company, Elevate Performance Solutions, a community advocate for common-sense public safety laws to reduce gun violence, and the den mom of the 108.

Melissa and Delia talked to Kirsten about her professional experience, working to save lives through community advocacy, and the importance of finding your people while, of course, fitting in some White Sox conversation. So, whether you're a die-hard South Side fan or not, there's something for everyone. We invite you to sit back, relax, and grab your favorite beverage because the girls hit a home run conversing about all things baseball and life, including:

Career Reflections: Kristen's educational background and how she arrived at the decision to start her own company.

Moms Demand Action: What are some things that the average citizen can do to help the cause?

White Sox Chatter: How did she become a Sox fan, her favorite player, surviving the South Side rollercoaster, and facilitating camaraderie among the Sox community?
