Lewis joins Lori Lewis on Unstoppable Podcast to talk about resilience, identity, and what it means to stand out—on and off the court. By the time she was just eleven or twelve years old, Angela was already six-foot-one, a height that made her impossible to overlook. Like many young athletes who grow up different from their peers, she had to learn early how to navigate confidence, visibility, and expectations. That difference ultimately led her to the game of basketball—and to a career playing at the highest levels of the sport. In this conversation, Angela reflects on: Growing up tall and learning to embrace standing outThe mindset that helped her succeed as a Division I and professional basketball playerLessons the game teaches about resilience, leadership, and identityHow athletes navigate life during and after competitive sportsAngela’s story is a powerful reminder that the things that make us feel different early in life can become the very qualities that shape our purpose.

    Diamond Dreams: Ila Borders Takes the Mound

    Send us Fan Mail In this powerful episode of Unstoppable Podcast, Lori Lewis sits down with trailblazing pitcher Ila Borders — the first woman to pitch in men’s professional baseball since the Negro Leagues. Ila didn’t just dream it. She did it. In 1997, she made history with the independent St. Paul Saints — the legendary club co-owned at the time by actor Bill Murray and baseball executive Mike Veeck. (The Saints would later become the Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins.) From facing skepticism and scrutiny to stepping confidently onto the mound in front of thousands, Ila shares what it took — mentally, emotionally, and physically — to compete in a world that never expected her to be there. She reflects on resilience, pressure, purpose, and what it means to open doors for the generations of girls coming behind her. For Lori, this conversation is more than an interview. It’s a full-circle moment — speaking with a woman who achieved the very dream she once held as a child practicing in the backyard and playing Little League with the boys. This is a story about courage.  About persistence.  About belonging on the field. And about what happens when a girl refuses to let go of her diamond dreams.

    Rethinking Performance: Women, Sport, and the Science

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode of Unstoppable, host Lori Lewis sits down with award-winning journalist and author Christine Yu to explore the often-overlooked science behind women’s sports and performance. For decades, training methods, recovery protocols, and even medical research have been built around male bodies—leaving women to adapt, push through pain, or assume they’re the problem. Christine breaks down why that approach fails women, how it affects athletes at every level, and what changes when we begin listening to our bodies instead of overriding them. This conversation goes beyond sports. It’s about redefining strength, questioning long-held assumptions, and understanding that progress doesn’t always mean pushing harder—it often means knowing better.

    Hidden History - with Historian Jean Williams

    Send us Fan Mail Women’s sports history didn’t disappear by accident — it was hidden. In this episode of Unstoppable Podcast, we sit down with Jean Williams one of the foremost historians of women’s sport. Jean shares how researching women’s sports history often means working against silence — missing records, dismissed achievements, and narratives written out of official history. The stories exist, but they are scattered, buried, and too often ignored. Recovering them takes persistence, patience, and a refusal to accept that “nothing happened” simply because it wasn’t documented. Together, we explore why women’s sporting achievements were hidden in the first place, what it takes to bring those stories back into the light, and why reclaiming this history is essential to understanding today’s fight for equity, recognition, and respect. This is a conversation about truth, recovery, and the power of remembering. About the women who competed anyway — and the historians who refused to let their stories disappear.
