Glennon Doyle is back at the party—and taking a victory lap! She joins Abby Wambach, Julie Foudy, and Billie Jean King to celebrate her winning WNBA bracket and the Golden State Valkyries’ championship run. From Gabby Williams’ Game 7 takeover to Glennon’s very physical experience of watching basketball, the crew breaks down what happens when investment, love, and team culture come together.
Then it’s NWSL Decision Day drama: Gotham’s Shield, Jess Fishlock’s emotional send-off, Angel City’s playoff path, and the big question of what’s next for Marta. Plus, the women who helped change the New York City Marathon, why joy deserves a spot on your calendar, and Glennon’s story about the unexpected matchmaker behind her relationship with Abby.
In honor of Abby’s brother Peter and National Epilepsy Awareness Month, a portion of November WTTP merch proceeds will support JoshProvides and families living with epilepsy.
