The Tough Love Behind a #1 Pick

Motherhood, basketball, and a brand new WNBA season collide in this special Mother’s Day episode of Welcome to the Party. Abby Wambach and Julie Foudy reflect on the many forms of “mothering,” share stories about the women who shaped them, and celebrate the love, toughness, and community behind women’s sports, before diving into one of the wildest WNBA offseasons yet. Then, the Party welcomes Dallas Wings star and No. 1 overall pick Azzi Fudd alongside her mom, former WNBA draft pick Katie Fudd, for what might be the best Party Popper yet. The two open up about Azzi’s journey through injuries, rehab, pressure, family support, and finally reaching the WNBA together on the other side of it all. From rookie life in Dallas to hilarious family stories and emotional moments about resilience, this episode is packed with heart, laughs, and everything we love about women’s sports.
