Paige Crozon is a member of Canada’s powerhouse women’s 3X3 team, but her journey to the top wasn’t straightforward. After having her daughter, she discovered that some people and organizations were hesitant to take a chance on a single Mom. She took that experience in stride, maintaining her love for the sport and sharing it with others at the Living Skies Indigenous Basketball League. Today, her teammates and coach are integral members of her support system, and her daughter, Poppy, often joins them on the road to watch her Mom play, while Paige is an advocate for a sport system that supports parents and caregivers.

As one of the first athletes to compete in sport climbing at the Olympic level during the sport’s debut at Tokyo 2020, Alannah Yip is used to overcoming challenges. Alannah uses her platforms not only to share her own journey, but to spotlight issues that are important to her- and advocate for change. One issue that’s particularly important to her is combatting the ‘lighter is better’ mentality that is pervasive in sport climbing. After being diagnosed with alopecia at the end of 2023, she made the decision to shave her head and enter the climbing gym bald, sharing her diagnosis and journey on Instagram. She and host Arianne Jones discuss this experience, the work being done to ensure that sport climbing is safe and inclusive for all, and much more.
