Fresh off a national championship and straight into the WNBA, Lauren Betts is back, and her life has officially gone bonkers (in the best way). In just a few weeks, Lauren led UCLA to its first-ever title, became a top-five WNBA draft pick, signed major deals, and somehow stayed grounded through it all. She joins Julie Foudy and Abby Wambach to break down the whirlwind: winning it all, draft night with her teammates, and stepping into the next chapter with the Washington Mystics. They also get into the real stuff—team culture, confidence, handling pressure, and why vulnerability has been her biggest superpower. Plus: WNBA Draft chaos, UCLA’s historic takeover, and the emotional moments that made this week unforgettable.   Follow @welcometothepartyshow on: YouTube — @welcometothepartyshow Instagram — @welcometothepartyshow TikTok — @welcometothepartyshow Email — partypeoplequestions@gmail.com   Keep the Party Going: Follow Sophia Wilson’s instagram to see the cutest baby on the planet: https://www.instagram.com/sophiawilson/ Bruce Springsteen Land of Hope and Dreams Tour: https://brucespringsteen.net/ Follow Lauren Betts:https://www.instagram.com/laurenmariebetts/ Watch the LOVB Championships this weekend: https://lovb.com/tournaments Thank you to our sponsors: -Ally’s got you covered.
