Today we are celebrating one year of Mickey Mics Up !!! I genuinely can not even believe that it has been that long but I am just so excited and blessed with all the guests I have had on and I can not wait to do more exciting things. In this episode I got to talk with my very own Creative Director and Co-Founder of Women's Sports Exchange Maggie Yan about college life during covid, how we got into soccer, and then of course our child that is Women's Sports Exchange. Since we spent time talking it about it, this felt like the perfect time to announce that Mickey Mics Up will not be part of Women's Sports Exchange. Nothing will change on this show except it will now be able to be found on https://www.wsportsxchange.com/ when we launch the site soon!Again thank you so much for one year of laughs, cool guests, support, and fun.

This weeks episode is all things gymnastics, soccer, medals, and amazing 13 year olds at the olympics. Not much to say besides that!

Okay, so I might have lied when I said this one was going to be just about the Olympics. That's next week sorry guys. I do my usual NWSL recap and talk about the first few group stage games of the Olympics for soccer.

In this episode, we will be going over the week that was the NWSL, the USWNT group stage games, and what to expect, along with how I registered for classes. Stay tuned for the Olympic special podcast next week!

Recapping the USWNT Send Off Games, the rainy NWSL weekend, and my college prep so far.

Just a little trailer into what this show will be about. A little choppy since it's not scripted but for number one it's not too bad! Hope yall come back for more
