What if the best burnout remedy isn't a vacation… but a dance floor? In this high-energy Women's Month episode of I Am Home, we sit down with professional game-day DJ and former NFL mascot DJ Dawna... the woman behind the music at Sporting KC, the Chiefs, the Royals and the USWNT. From leading crowds in a mascot suit to soundtracking stadiums packed with thousands, Dawna shares how she learned to read a room, move a crowd and create moments people never forget. But this conversation goes deeper than playlists and hype. Dawna opens up about what truly separates a technically good DJ from someone who can shift the energy in a space and why dance might be one of the most underrated forms of stress relief we have.

In today's episode, Liam analyzes the USWNT's opening match of the 2026 She Believes Cup, with a 2–0 win over Argentina that extended their unbeaten start to the year and recorded a third straight clean sheet.This episode breaks down the performance through a tactical lens, looking at the evolving shape of the team in and out of possession, Lindsey Heaps dropping into build-up, the role fullbacks played pushing high, and how the team's pressing strategy under Emma Hayes evolves with new figures on the pitch.LDG also assesses defensive structure, second-ball control, and what Kennedy Wesley's composure on the ball might mean for the center-back depth chart. In midfield, we examine how the Heaps–Yohannes–Moultrie trio functioned and what that says about the evolving hierarchy.Finally, LDG turns to the upcoming Canada match, which, after their 4–1 win over Colombia, will pose very different tactical problems to the USWNT with stronger midfield duels and a greater threat in transition. He outlines where the U.S. build-up patterns could be stressed, how the wide channels may decide the match, and what rotation decisions could shape the group.Thank you for listening!
