    Sonia Chase

    In this episode of Unfiltered Waters, we step outside the pool and into a powerful conversation with former WNBA player Sonia Chase, a true pioneer from the league’s early years. Sonia brings a unique perspective, having lived through the evolution of the WNBA from what she describes as survival mode to the strategy-driven era we see today. We dive into the league’s latest collective bargaining agreement, why it is such a major shift for women’s sports, and what it means for the next generation of athletes. But this conversation goes far beyond basketball. Sonia shares how she navigated life after sport without a clear roadmap, how she transitioned into entrepreneurship, and why athletes are uniquely built to succeed in business. She opens up about confidence, imposter syndrome, and the mindset shift required to go from being coached your entire life to leading your own path. We also get into the power of storytelling and social media, why athletes need to build their personal brand beyond their sport, and how that connection with fans can drive real growth for leagues and individuals alike. And in a moment that feels like breaking news, Sonia talks about her vision to bring a WNBA team to Baltimore, a project she is actively working on and deeply invested in. Whether you are an athlete, entrepreneur, or navigating your next chapter, this episode is packed with perspective, insight, and real-world lessons. ----- Subscribe to the show on your favorite podcast platform, and follow us on social media (https://linktr.ee/unfilteredwaters) for clips, bonus content, and updates throughout the week. ----- FOLLOW KATIE ON: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kthoff7/ ----- SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS dreamrecovery.io use code UNFILTEREDTHIRTY for 30% off Use code UWBlanket20 for 20% off the weighted recovery blanket ----- #UnfilteredWaters #WNBA #SoniaChase

    In this special Mother’s Day episode of Unfiltered Waters, we sit down with Caeleb Dressel and Meghan Dressel at their home in Gainesville for one of their most honest conversations yet. What starts as a visit to the farm turns into a deep, unfiltered look at life beyond the pool. From raising two young kids to navigating identity, marriage, and the realities of elite sport, Caeleb and Meghan open up about the transitions that have shaped this next chapter of their lives. They talk about what parenthood has really been like, how it’s impacted their relationship, and the pressure of balancing family with the demands of high-level competition. Caeleb shares his evolving approach to training and his move to Jacksonville, while Meghan gives a raw perspective on motherhood, identity, and what it means to grow alongside each other. This episode is less about swimming and more about what happens behind the scenes. The parts people don’t usually see. The adjustments, the tension, the growth, and the moments that redefine everything.
