About this episode
WNBA standout Lexie Brown sits down with Sarah to talk about being a pro hooper when your biggest opponent isn’t on the other team–it’s your own body. After being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease mid-career, Lexie took on a new set of challenges: learning how to listen to her body, advocate for herself in a physically demanding career, and speak openly about an invisible illness that so many people silently endure. In this candid and empowering episode, the pair also discuss WNBA teams not using their bench players while complaining about roster size, the narratives around the Seattle Storm this season, and Lexie’s podcast Full Circle, which she hosts right here on the iHeart Women’s Sports Network.
