About this episode
Riley reflects on her unexpected journey into motherhood and the pride she feels watching her son, Lyric, grow and succeed in soccer.
This one is for the version of me who never saw herself as a “soccer mom”… and somehow became one anyway 🖤 Over the weekend, Lyric’s team won their first championship—and I’m still trying to find the words for what that moment felt like. Not just watching him win, but watching who he is in the process. Because it’s not really about the trophy. It’s about the player he’s become—driven, focused, and resilient. And even more than that, the person he’s becoming—kind, empathetic, fair, funny… the kind of human you’re just proud to know, let alone call your son. In this episode, I’m talking about the quiet, unexpected moments of motherhood that hit you out of nowhere. The ones that make you pause and think, wow… we’re really doing this. From the sidelines to the bigger picture—this is about growth, pride, and the kind of love that doesn’t need a scoreboard to matter… but celebrates it anyway. Because sometimes, the wins aren’t just theirs. They’re yours too.
