I have an announcement to make.
After a couple of months of struggling with my identity. I’ve decided I’m ready to come forward about something.

Dear Abby Hammer:
Today was a great day, and here’s why:
You saw the show that speaks to you on so many levels with your

& your talented former cast mates. You were moved by this beautiful art. Your heart is full. (& you skipped class!)
Sincerely,

Ewww this is so gross. A lot of the soccer community is grieving something that was a big part of them. And you’re just gonna shove your club down their throats and promote yourself at THIS time?? You’re disgusting.

Autism Speaks is actually a horrible organization and hated by many autistic folks. I haven’t read the bill yet, but hopefully it isn’t associated with Autism Speaks

Ok soooo why are your cards getting declined too cuz I’m late getting my son to school since I’m sitting in a restaurant trying to get your card to work
All traumas are valid and Jill Ellis’s trauma doesn’t give her an excuse to treat Brittany like shit.
No one deserves to be treated like shit. Especially AT WORK FOR SOME FUCKING SOCCER
Having a look at the Jill Ellis filing... we begin with an understanding of mental health being important
Ellis faced "unique challenges and intensified scrutiny and vilifications for her performance and coaching decisions, all of which have strengthened her mental fortitude."

was hacked & it keeps circling to the same screen so I can’t get into it. So I’ll share some more of my favorite pics from the weekend here.
Sorry ⚽️ fam- I have more than one passion and worked music industry before sports! I was back in my other happy place!
Called 988 yesterday. Just sharing cuz not enough people are open about mental health and how important it is to take care of your brain.
You don’t have to be actively suicidal to call. If you’re ever in a bad spot and nobody is available to talk to you, call them.

Yall don’t get to see the emotional happy tears, but they’re flowing.
I’m a classic gal. I love plain black and white adidas boots, an embroidered badge, a classic logo, grass fields, collared jerseys…
So to have our club on a scarf finally. This is a moment for me rn.
I hate asking for help, but I’ll do anything for my kids. So I set up a

. If you feel up to it - I’d appreciate the help. She hadn’t even met her sister yet 😭
If you haven’t heard from me don’t take it personally. I’m not talking to anyone. Adam when I have to, that’s it. I wanted to kill myself last week (and all season). Obvi I didn’t cuz I know that’s not right but it’s a real battle and I gotta find peace to survive
Hey guys I just was a guest on a podcast and I was asked what team I’d wanna see relegated if pro/rel was an option, and it was fun to be able to say the
@midwestpl
is implementing pro/rel this season!
Idk maybe people will start to understand I’m a fking human that’s been through some shit so give me a little grace sometimes. This, brain surgery, cancer, that’s the tip of the iceberg. Everyone’s life is hard. It’s not just me. That’s why I’m so open. If I can do it, y’all can

I get to face my abusive family in court today. On the day my grandma died - the last person in my family who stood up for me. When grandpa died, they started getting ballsy again. When grandma died, all hell broke loose.
Today is gonna be rough. Today is gonna be triggering.
I was scrolling my feed and a Spotify notification came up saying “I wouldn’t fight
@AlyssaNaeher
” and I verbally said “I wouldn’t either” to myself…
And then it hit me it’s cuz it was my own quote 😂😂
Thanks for having me

Blake is my mother’s best friend’s son. I also taught him percussion when he was in junior high. He was a genuinely great kid. Our small town is going to hurt, as I’m sure your department will, too. ❤️
@GalPalSports
Being silenced the way I’m silenced otherwise it effects my org and income, I’m hoping that what i could be reading between the lines based on my experience is what she really means:
“They told us not to say shit or we’re in trouble, and here’s generic stuff they fed us” 🤞🏻
12 years. Tons of memories. Tons of lessons. Tons of fun experiences.
I’ve learned a lot. The most important lesson was learning my value and the importance of sticking up for myself.
Fuck men’s sports. I’ll never work in men’s sports again. Men: be like Adam.
I just posted an update! I am humbled and thankful for everyone who has donated, shared, supported us in any way during this tragic time.
We’re almost 1/5 of the way there already!! Could you keep sharing on every social media platform? 🙏🏻🤟🏻

I’m really bored already so if any clubs out there have any projects they want help on - hit me up.

Imagine a man having an opinion on what is the “happiest thing to happen to women’s soccer” hahahahahahahahahaha oh my god the stupidity is hilarious
FWIW - everyone I know who’s worked with Landon Donavan says he’s a tool. Sucks cuz he was one of my favorites growing up, but what I’ve learned in the sports industry is that “never meet your heroes” is there for a reason
Spending the last day before school watching

You guys wanna fuck with Char? Come to me first with your insults. I can guarantee you no one hates me more than I hate me. Nothing you say can hurt my feelings. Don’t fuck with her!
What a week it’s been on this cesspit of an app! I’ve been called fat, ugly, a whore, compared to having cancer which is honestly vile and just knocks me physically sick 🥹💔
Sometimes I think it will be so much easier coming off this, stopping talking about football, podcasting
Send good vibes or whatever you believe in to my youngest, Maverick.
He already struggles with his respiratory system. He was diagnosed with pneumonia a few days ago. And now, he’s in the emergency room with his dad, and tested positive for COVID.
They’re sedating him :(

FIX THIS NOW!!! I got the first message yesterday. I have t paid anyone to gain followers. I’d say look at my feed for proof my job just burnt down but look at the 2nd image apparently all my stuff is gone.
I’ve been told I can’t call behavior by its name (abuse) cuz I’m actively suffering from narcissistic abuse in my personal life.
I’ve been telling people my life of abuse has made me an expert in spotting abusers and abusive behavior
It’s time to start calling it what it is.
For those who have endured abuse.
For those who are afraid to speak up.
I see you and I will fight for you.
This is for you.

It is extremely unfortunate for me to announce that I will no longer be going to Penn State. As per the NCAA lawsuit and the new roster cap of 28, there is no longer a spot for me. I will make every effort to find a high level program to pursue my academic and athletic career. ❤️
Seriously yall.
Sincere personal thank you to

Great. Freaking. Night.
And to spend it with Kenan - can’t beat that.
(Clarity so no rumors: Kenan was my daughters coach when she was with Fire Juniors and the two of them are very close. When he coached I was manager. We’re just friends. I love Danielle his girlfriend!)
