Pickleball therapist Val Dillugo joins Jilly B & Kdubs to offer advice on how to play with a loved one. She also addresses how best to handle unsolicited coaching advice. Jilly B & Kdubs catch you up on their whirlwind past five weeks, including a Gold medal in Dallas & a missed MLP playoff opportunity.

Ever find yourself wanting to talk about pickleball with friends who get just as obsessed as you do? That’s the feeling you get tuning into This Pickleball Life. Hosts Jill Braverman (Jilly B) and Kristin Walla (K Dub) bring their distinct voices together for conversations that mirror the sport itself-fast-paced, social, and full of unexpected spins. They dive into the latest news and gear, break down strategy in a way that’s actually useful, and share stories from the court that are equal parts hilarious and relatable. It’s less of a formal lesson and more like eavesdropping on two savvy players debriefing after a great match, covering everything from a tricky dink shot to the latest community drama. The whole This Pickleball Life podcast is built on that blend of genuine advice and entertainment, making it feel like you’re part of the conversation. They even take on listener dilemmas in their "Dear Jilly B" segment, offering thoughtful and often funny answers to the questions that plague every player, from etiquette to improving your third-shot drop. If your life somehow involves a paddle and a plastic ball, this is the company you want to keep.
