This week on BFFR, Ali Riley is joined by the one and only Lynn Biyendolo, Olympic Gold medalist, 4x NWSL Champion, the leagues leading goal scorer, and 2016 MVP & Golden Boot winner. Fresh off the NWSL Championship weekend, Lynn breaks down the energy behind Gotham FC’s celebrations, Temwa Chawinga’s MVP season, and what it truly takes to win a NWSL championship. The two go beyond the pitch, as Lynn opens up about motherhood, the decision to become a mom mid-career, the moms’ group chat, and how the NWSL is continuing to evolve in the support it offers mothers. She also shares stories from her wedding, the making of her dress, the emotional journey of changing her last name, and updating her signature. New episodes of BFFR drop every Monday!
