Podcast Overview

Professional women's sports are having a groundbreaking moment in Canada, with history being made across hockey, basketball, and soccer. The launch of the PWHL has ushered in a new era for women's hockey, while the WNBA's expansion to Toronto signals the growing appetite for women's basketball at the highest level. At the same time, the Northern Super League (NSL) is set to transform women's soccer in the country. These milestones mark a seismic shift, breaking long-standing glass ceilings in the sports industry. To capture this moment, we have created a podcast that dives deep into the stories behind these game-changing developments. Through bi-weekly conversations with the women on the ice, the court, and the field—as well as the executives, investors, and decision-makers behind the scenes—we will document the challenges, triumphs, and pivotal moments that are shaping the future of professional women's sports in Canada. This podcast is presented by GoodLife Fitness.

Lara Murphy: Women's Soccer Is Having a Moment — Wild FC's CEO on Making Calgary Part of It

<p data-start="153" data-end="436">In this episode of Women Are Players Too, we sit down with Lara Murphy — CEO of Calgary's only female-run commercial construction firm and newly named CEO (and co-founder) of Calgary Wild FC, one of six founding clubs in Canada's brand-new professional league, Northern Super League (NSL).</p> <p data-start="438" data-end="905">The NSL's inaugural 2025 season has already shattered expectations: over 275,000 tickets sold nationwide, with the league ranking among the top five in the world for women's pro soccer attendance. Northern Super League Home openers in major cities drew 14,000+ fans, while Calgary Wild's first home game welcomed 8,552 supporters, a powerful sign of appetite for women's sport from coast to coast.</p> <p data-start="438" data-end="905">In our conversation, Lara reflects on what soccer has meant to her personally — from playing youth ball in New Brunswick to representing her province at the first women's soccer Canada Games in 1993, to playing university-level soccer with Mount Allison. She shares why stepping into pro-team leadership feels like a "full-circle moment," and how Calgary Wild aims to deliver more than just games: they're building a community, offering real opportunities for players, and showing what it means to invest in women's sport on and off the pitch.</p> <p data-start="1452" data-end="1609">If you care about women leading in business and sport — about breaking ground for a new generation of players, fans, and leaders — this episode is for you.</p> <p data-start="1452" data-end="1609">Thank you to GoodLife Fitness for supporting WOMEN ARE PLAYERS TOO. Because every woman deserves to train like she belongs. <a href= "https://try.goodlifefitness.com/7-day-pass?utm_source=Partner&utm_medium=WAPT&utm_campaign=April-Dec" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Find a club near you and start a free trial today!</a></p>

Kim Lavender: How Women Train — and Thrive — Has Changed

<p data-start="248" data-end="480">For more than three decades, Kim Lavender has been shaping the fitness experience for Canadians — first as an athlete and personal trainer, and now as the head of Group Experience at GoodLife Fitness.</p> <p data-start="482" data-end="840">Kim's story began on the playing field in the 1980s, when girls in sport were often told they didn't belong. She played on boys' teams, faced pushback and harassment, and kept showing up anyway. That same determination carried her into another male-dominated space — the fitness industry — where she became a trailblazer for women in movement and training.</p> <p data-start="842" data-end="1116">In this conversation, Kim talks about how women's relationship to training has evolved — from shrinking and shaping to building strength, confidence, and community. We also explore what it means to create spaces where women of all ages and abilities can truly belong.</p> <p data-start="1118" data-end="1261">From athlete to trainer to leader, Kim's story is about persistence, purpose, and the power of redefining what fitness means for women today.</p> <p data-start="1003" data-end="1278">Thank you to GoodLife Fitness for supporting WOMEN ARE PLAYERS TOO. Because every woman deserves to train like she belongs. <a href= "https://try.goodlifefitness.com/7-day-pass?utm_source=Partner&utm_medium=WAPT&utm_campaign=April-Dec" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Find a club near you and start a free trial today!</a></p> <p class="MsoNormal">WOMEN ARE PLAYERS TOO is produced by The Brand is Female.

Candice Combdon: Mindset and Muscle

<p data-start="161" data-end="693">Candice Combdon’s story is one of transformation — from uncertainty to confidence, from “wallflower” to warrior. A Team Ontario wheelchair tennis athlete who represented Canada at the 2023 World Team Cup qualifiers in Mexico, Candice lives with spina bifida and uses both a day chair and a sport chair while training in adaptive fitness and competing at an elite level. She just completed the Toronto Half Marathon in her chair — proving that athleticism and determination take many forms.</p> <p data-start="695" data-end="1099">Off the court, Candice is a Fitness Advisor at GoodLife Fitness, helping others discover their own strength through movement and community. She’s also the founder of From Wallflower to Warrior, a motivational speaking and advocacy platform where she shares her journey and speaks on topics like disability inclusion in the workplace, adaptive fitness, LGBTQ+ visibility, and overcoming adversity.</p> <p data-start="1101" data-end="1434">In this episode, Candice opens up about finding her voice through sport, the importance of representation in fitness and athletics, and what it truly means to rewrite your own story. Her journey is a reminder that resilience is built one challenge at a time — and that the greatest victories often happen far beyond the scoreboard.</p> <p data-start="1003" data-end="1278">Thank you to GoodLife Fitness for supporting WOMEN ARE PLAYERS TOO.
