As a broadcaster, she’s been on The View, Good Morning America, The Talk, CNN, Good Day New York, and was a regular guest on Dr. Phil.

Her second book, Making It Home: Life Lessons From a Season of Little League got a starred review from Publisher’s Weekly, and was called “A Perfect Book” by Good Housekeeping.📖⚾️

Teresa wrote an achingly heartfelt and surprisingly funny memoir about family, grief, and moving forward. When her brother dies from cancer, and then her mother just four months later, Teresa Strasser has no one to mourn with but her irresponsible, cantankerous, trailerpark-dwelling father.

Listen to Kirsten and Teresa go back and talk about how youth sports teach life lessons, the importance of failure, and her unique philosophy on youth sports and grieving.⚡️
