In just a few weeks, Lauren led UCLA to its first-ever title, became a top-five WNBA draft pick, signed major deals, and somehow stayed grounded through it all. She joins Julie Foudy and Abby Wambach to break down the whirlwind: winning it all, draft night with her teammates, and stepping into the next chapter with the Washington Mystics. They also get into the real stuff—team culture, confidence, handling pressure, and why vulnerability has been her biggest superpower. Plus: WNBA Draft chaos, UCLA’s historic takeover, and the emotional moments that made this week unforgettable.
