    Welcome to another episode of Hoops & Healing! This month I am joined by entrepreneur Alexandra Carrillo of By The Polish. Alexandra is a Chicago based nail tech who loves to create sensory designs that leave a lasting, meaningful impression. Telling a story through nails is her ultimate slam dunk. Alexandra doesn't have a big sports background and I as the host do not know much about nails, so we treated this episode as a fun educational experience on both ends. She made me a sickening Ellie The Elephant/New York Liberty nail set. We also review nail art in relation to sports whether it is fan nail art or athletes who do their nails (both women and men). Go sports!

    Welcome to another episode of Hoops & Healing! This month I am joined by former hooper Lexi Davis. Lexi is based in Chicago but was born and raised in Bloomington, IL. Lexi grew up driving to Sky games as a kid with her family and is still a season ticket holder today. We dive into Lexi’s basketball experience playing from 2nd grade through high school and what is was like having her dad as her coach and what it was like tearing both of her ACL’s back to back and how she used ballet to rehab. Lexi is also an entrepreneur, her business is called BallHer Society and it is a women’s+ sports community and event brand. We get into her experience starting an events business and all the challenges and rewards that come from it. Go sports!

    Welcome to episode 2 of Hoops & Healing. Buckle up because this one is personal. No guest this month because I’m celebrating my 1 year anniversary of being single 🥳. I talk about why I’m intentionally staying single, what this means to me and all the highs and lows that come with it. My podcast covers hoops AND healing practices, this month is more focused on the healing side but I do get into some quick WNBA fashion tea as well.

    Welcome to the very first episode of Hoops & Healing. Hoops & Healing is a new podcast where from the name you can tell we talk all things basketball and all things healing. My guests and I will share our hottest takes on the WNBA, NBA and college hoops. We will also get into different healing and growth mindset practices. Sometimes these 2 topics will overlap and sometimes they will be treated as separate topics. Sports are healing and healing is a sport. Let's get to it.
