Sarah Gorden Talks $8,000 NWSL Rookie Salary, Motherhood & Proving Everyone Wrong

Ali Riley is back with another special guest for all our BFFR and Angel City fans! This week, the captains are linking up. Sarah Gorden joins the show to talk about her journey through motherhood, recovery, identity, and growth — on and off the field. Sarah reflects on this season, her offseason goals, and personal milestones. She opens up about being pregnant in college, navigating complex emotions, and ultimately finding pride and healing through motherhood. We dive into life as a soccer mom, from her son Caiden’s favorite players to the unique experiences and conversations he’s had with her teammates. Sarah also shares her perspective on the evolution of the NWSL and the progress made since she earned just $8,000 a season while raising a child. She talks about her ACL injury, her years in Chicago, and how moving to LA became a powerful journey of self-discovery, healing, and sobriety. And of course, no Sarah Gorden interview would be complete without a deep dive into fashion. She breaks down how her style became her first form of self-expression, offers her go-to tips, and even rates a few fits. New episodes of BFFR drop every Monday!
