About this episode
Tracey Wilson Mourning joins the show for a rare, no-holding-back conversation about what it really looked like to spend three decades married to one of the NBA’s most celebrated players. Tracey goes beyond the glamorous courtside images and opens up about the pressure, the expectations, and the emotional toll of living inside the ecosystem of a star athlete — a world where loyalty is demanded, privacy is fragile, and the spotlight doesn’t always feel warm. She talks candidly about loving Alonzo Mourning through championships, crises, and comebacks… and about the woman she slowly realized she was losing in the process. Tracey doesn’t dish for the sake of drama — she reveals the truth for the sake of her own liberation. We also dive into the empire she built beyond basketball: her Honey Shine mentorship program, her passion for community, and how philanthropy became her rebellion against being defined solely as “an NBA wife.” And in her most vulnerable moment, Tracey shares the spiritual unraveling and rebirth that followed the death of her mother — a loss that cracked her open and forced her to rebuild her identity, her purpose, and her peace from the inside out. This is Tracey Mourning in full color: honest, evolved, and finally telling her story on her own terms. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
