Sideline Sisters: Candid Conversations About Everything Sports (50 minutes)

Laura’s Notes from the Sidelines:

There’s something magical about the power of play because we all have different interests. When you’re following your own passions, what starts as a spark can create a magic moment that helps unravel the path of our lives.When we pour into ourselves, we have more leftover to give.Our kids get to see us doing things we love that light us up so our kids don’t have to believe that just because there’s this narrative of adulting doesn’t mean we don’t get to play.Happiness research shows that to have overall well-being, the most important thing is connection and relationships with other people, so why not get that connection with other people through sports…whether it’s playing, watching, or talking about sports.The Maloney Sisters Highlight Reel
