On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby get real about what it actually takes to prioritize yourself when work, family, and life are all pulling at once. They dig into the impossible math of "work-life balance"—why it's a myth, and what it actually looks like to shift priorities by season without drowning in guilt. Terrika gets honest about what it means to move with the money as a freelancer, and Sheryl opens up about how hard it can be to put her health at the top of the list. They also push back hard on the timelines society hands women (married by this age, kids by that one) and who exactly decided any of that. The episode closes on a note that hits: satisfy your soul, not society.

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby take a moment to honor the life and legacy of two-time WNBA champion Kara Braxton, reflecting on her impact on the game, her competitive spirit, and the deep loss felt across the basketball community. Then: a full breakdown of the Athletes Unlimited season, celebrating Odyssey Sims finally winning the chip after five seasons of being so close, shouting out breakout star Aneesah Morrow, Kaitlyn Chen's Newcomer of the Year performance, and Natasha Mack's dominant Defensive Player of the Year run. They also get into the bigger picture: what the future of AU looks like, why Nashville feels like home, and why Odyssey Sims deserves a guaranteed WNBA contract, like, yesterday.

On this episode of Levels to This, Sheryl Swoopes and Terrika Foster-Brasby sit down with Shaniqua McClendon, Senior Vice President of Political Strategy (you heard that "senior" here first) at Crooked Media, for a conversation that is equal parts eye-opening and unfiltered. From Obama's election to Trump's rise, Shaniqua breaks down how we got here — and why she believes we're already in authoritarianism, not approaching it. The trio digs into why Kamala lost, what gender had to do with it, and what sustainable civic engagement looks like for Black women who are exhausted. Shaniqua doesn't hold back on what accountability must look like in a post-Trump America — and spoiler: somebody needs to go to prison.
