This episode we are joined by Jenna Weiner and absolutely loved our conversation with her. She is an ultimate player for the Western Ultimate league, as well as a disc golfer, trans woman, scholar, musician, and TEDx speaker. This conversation was so moving and really highlights one of the most beautiful things that sports can be: a safe space. It's not always the case. It's different league by league, team by team. Jenna's story though is inspirational in how one person being authentic and vulnerable led to dramatic change in her sport.
