She Walked Into the NBA’s Biggest Mess and Fixed It

About this episode

The episode discusses March Madness, mental health in sports, and features interviews with Billie Jean King and Cynt Marshall.

March Madness is in full swing and the chaos is only getting started. From bracket battles and Cinderella runs to the Sweet 16 matchups you can’t miss, Julie and Abby break it all down. But this episode goes deeper, highlighting Lauren Betts and the powerful impact of speaking openly about mental health, and how it’s translating directly to performance on the court. Plus, the crew celebrates a huge moment for Save: the Katie Meyer Story and why this story continues to matter. Then, they’re joined by the legendary Billie Jean King to talk legacy, representation, and why women’s history is far from finished. And finally, don’t miss their conversation with Cynt Marshall, the leader who stepped into one of the NBA’s most toxic workplaces and completely transformed it. This one’s about basketball, yes, but also about truth, leadership, and what happens when people decide to change the game.
