Play With Courage: Angela Lewis on Turning Difference into Strength

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514969/fan_mail/new] Former Division I and professional basketball player Angela R. 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 out * The mindset that helped her succeed as a Division I and professional basketball player * Lessons the game teaches about resilience, leadership, and identity * How athletes navigate life during and after competitive sports Angela’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. This episode continues the mission of Unstoppable Podcast, a unique program blending narrative storytelling, immersive sound design, and powerful interviews celebrating women in sports—past and present.

Diamond Dreams: Ila Borders Takes the Mound

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2514969/fan_mail/new] 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.
