Our guest, Emily Renneberg, joined us to talk about her passion for sports, making a difference and standing up for inclusivity within the sport world. Emily grew up playing ringette and surrounded by people who shared a love for sports. Her mother, Judy Renneberg, also played a part in her journey and shares her joy in raising a confident and ambitious daughter. This mother/daughter duo have been a source of inspiration and have really modeled a fun, healthy dynamic between parent and daughter.

Together we discuss Emily’s endeavors after a 15-year ringette career which include working as a live sports broadcaster and starting her very own podcast, “Even Strength”. Judy describes Emily's confident demeanor as a quality that has been evident ever since she was young. This character attribute is what pushed Emily to pursue different avenues and interests from a very young age. In many ways, her confidence, which was built through playing ringette, is what opened up doors of opportunity.

Emily is an active advocate for equality and inclusion within the sports realm as well as someone who makes space for women in the sport world. Emily shares an experience that impacted her and why it was such an important and monumental moment in her life.

We hear from Judy, and how she paved the way demonstrating sports leadership, community building, and why someone has to do the bottle drive.

Our hosts and guests connect over the importance of stepping up and making a difference no matter how small.
