It’s all about the newest WNBA team in San Francisco...the Golden State Valkyries. I’m not a sports analyst, but instead share player backstories, local culture, and the joy of this incredible moment for women’s sports. #BigBellyBreathing #MindfulnessForKids #JoyfulParenting #KidsWellness #HealthyHabits #CheeseAndBurritos #Podcast4Kids
