About this episode

Isabelle 'Izzy' Harrison Talks Career, WNBA Challenges, and Powerful Journeys 

On this episode of Naked Sports, Cari sits down with one of the real ones — Isabelle Harrison of the New York Liberty.

Izzy opens up about the journey that shaped her; from playing under the legendary Pat Summitt at Tennessee, to making waves in the W with talent, heart, and a whole lot of voice. She gets real about her relationship with Tasha Cloud (yes, that Tasha), and shares what it means to show up authentically on and off the court.

We talk CBA negotiations, league politics, officiating, and why players need more than just a seat at the table.  They need a say.

But Izzy’s story goes deeper. She gives us a glimpse into what it was like growing up in a big family of 12, and her powerful work raising awareness for Lupus, a cause close to her heart.

This one’s about more than sports. It’s about the humanity of athletes, the hustle it takes to thrive, and the courage to use your platform for purpose.
