This week on Episode 6 of Winning the Journey Within, I’m honored to share an inspiring conversation with world-class athlete Yvonne Turner - a WNBA guard, overseas star, and one of the rare competitors who leads with both unshakable toughness and genuine kindness.
We met for the very first time off the court to film this episode — and, without planning it, we showed up wearing clothes that carried nearly the same message. In that moment, we both knew exactly where this conversation was headed… and yet, what unfolded still surprised me.
Yvonne opens up with honesty, grace, and nothing held back — sharing her journey from going undrafted, to grinding overseas, to making it to the WNBA at 29. Her story is one of relentless work, unwavering dedication, and a deep faith that carried her every step of the way.
