You Run Like A Girl is a media and lifestyle brand that aims to shine a spotlight on women in sports. Through interviews, weekly sports round-ups, analysis and profiles, we aim to open a dialogue with underrepresented female athletes and professionals in the sports industry. In doing so, we hope to increase representation of diverse voices, and inspire and motivate others to go after their dreams.
Today's episode is a pretty special one. I had the chance to sit down and chat with entrepreneur Sienny Thio. Sienny is the founder and creative director of The Mood Lab, a minimalist branding studio for bold and creative visionaries. She is the one who designed the brand identity for the You Run Like A Girl podcast, which is why I'm extra excited about having her on the show. We talk about how she went from working at the UN to running her own business, discuss what a brand is and isn't, hea...

Dana Bookman - Founder & CEO of Canadian Girls Baseball
My guest today is Dana Bookman, the Founder and CEO of Canadian Girls Baseball, a national non-profit development league for girls aged 4-16. A former television producer and journalist, Dana's pivot to CEO all started because she couldn't find a girls team for her young daughter. Rather than let it stop her from playing altogether, Dana decided to create what was missing. One thing led to another and the organization that Dana started in 2016 has now gone national, with chapters across...
Today's episode has been a long time coming. I chat with Sylvie Tetrault, a Registered Holistic Nutritionist, Strength Coach, and Podcast Host based in Toronto. Hailing from the East Coast, Sylvie moved to Toronto after earning a degree in kinesiology and promptly rose up the ranks of a busy city gym. However, she couldn't quiet a long-standing desire to work with pro athletes. So she took a leap and ended up at a high performance gym owned by former Toronto Maple Leafs player, Gary Roberts. ...

Jan Longmire - Figure Skating Costume Designer
The Olympics always has its fair share of controversial topics and while these do shift over time, it's a pretty safe bet that every four years, people who watch figure skating will be divided over one thing: the costumes. In today's episode, I speak with Jan Longmire, a figure skating costume designer to the stars. Jan went from designing costumes for her kids skating shows and competitions to being an in-demand designer for World and Olympic champions. We chatted about how she got her start...

Verna Volker - Ultra Marathoner & Founder of Native Women Running
When Verna Volker laced up a pair of running shoes in 2009, her endgame wasn’t to build a huge online community for Indigenous runners or to become a global ambassador for a prominent athletic brand - she simply wanted to do something for herself and her health. But what began as one half-marathon escalated into a world-wide movement. Now an ultra marathoner, Verna (who is also a wife, mother and teacher), talks to me about how she fits running into her busy days, her online community (Native...
