We come full circle on this Soccer Mom Sunday! In June of 2024, Jen Siess sat down to chat with her former coach at Lindenwood University, Debbie Washburn. Not only did we talk about her soccer origin story, she also shared the story of her TWICE WINNING 1989 and 1990 National Women’s Over-30 Division teams. A first in St. Louis women’s soccer history. For years, these soccer champs have gone unrecognized, but that just changed on February 27th, 2025 when they were formally honored by the St. Louis Soccer Hall of Fame. Tune in for a great conversation with Debbie, along with former teammates, Lisa Lamb and Mary Carpenter, as they share their own soccer origin stories, along with some grit-forming experiences like sleeping in a hotel lobby before a big game. Not kidding! It’s an emotional one - a bittersweet story of finally having a seat at the table. Let’s go!

We’ve got a CITY voice on this Soccer Mom Sunday! When you walk into the stadium on a St. Louis CITY SC game day, there’s a mainstay voice you hear - and a face you see on the jumbotron - it’s Kristen Carver! We got a chance to sit down with Kristen just before the 2025 season begins, because she’s WAY too busy IN season with not only her duties on game days, but so much more! Listen in for a conversation about how Kristen’s soccer story started like many of ours did - YMCA, CYC, select, and high school ball at Ursuline Academy. Then hear how her humble start in broadcast finally wound its way to being a front-facing personality for St. Louis’ first MLS team. Not only is she busy with CITY, but Kristen also still plays the game and has found herself loving the world of youth coaching. Lots of great thoughts on how some steps, with faith and trust, align for a journey you may have never even dreamed of.
