We're in a new era of the WNBA. #UnfilteredWaters #Basketball #WNBA #WNBACBA #WomenInSports

In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, we step outside the pool and into a powerful conversation with former WNBA player Sonia Chase, a true pioneer from the league’s early years.

Sonia brings a unique perspective, having lived through the evolution of the WNBA from what she describes as survival mode to the strategy-driven era we see today. We dive into the league’s latest collective bargaining agreement, why it is such a major shift for women’s sports, and what it means for the next generation of athletes.

But this conversation goes far beyond basketball.

Sonia shares how she navigated life after sport without a clear roadmap, how she transitioned into entrepreneurship, and why athletes are uniquely built to succeed in business. She opens up about confidence, imposter syndrome, and the mindset shift required to go from being coached your entire life to leading your own path.

We also get into the power of storytelling and social media, why athletes need to build their personal brand beyond their sport, and how that connection with fans can drive real growth for leagues and individuals alike.

And in a moment that feels like breaking news, Sonia talks about her vision to bring a WNBA team to Baltimore, a project she is actively working on and deeply invested in.

Whether you are an athlete, entrepreneur, or navigating your next chapter, this episode is packed with perspective, insight, and real-world lessons.
