This week on Full Time, hosts Tamerra Griffin and Meg Linehan are joined by friend of the show Sam Mewis, the former USWNT player turned podcaster and editor-in-chief with The Women's Game.

Mewis reflects on the past 18 months since she retired from soccer and stepped into a new role on the media side. How has she evolved as a journalist and presenter over that time? What tensions has she encountered along the way? Where is the evolving media landscape of women's soccer heading?

After a knee injury ended her career prematurely, Mewis also talks about her post-career move to Burlington, Vermont, and how the state "healed all wounds." The trio also talk Vermont Green FC women, where Mewis is currently coaching a summer exhibition series, and the emotions that come when you step back on the pitch again but not as a player. The show closes out with Mewis discussing her current favorite NWSL players and her favorite goal of her career.
