    S2E6: The Invincible Phaidra Knight
    Dec 10 2021
    This week’s guest on the season finale is not only a USA rugby legend but a legend around the world. She has made three appearances in the Rugby World Cup and was selected as the top player in the world in her position in 2002 and 2006. In 2010, she was named the U.S. Rugby Player of the Decade. In November 2017, she was inducted into the World Rugby Hall of Fame. Currently she has her own clothing line called the PSK collective, which Naya is an ambassador for and is a commentator on the world rugby sevens series so you've probably heard her voice before. She has paved the way for women in rugby and is constantly taking on new projects, most recently MMA. Phaindra shares her passions with us and what's on her bucket list, some of which may surprise you...or not... if you know how invincible this woman is.

    S2E5: Money, Money, Money
    Nov 26 2021
    This week’s topic is finances and how professional rugby players manage their salary and portfolio. Our favorite Leo’s explain how they earn a living through the sport, how some players have a side gig and others have sponsorships. Lo explains how she has made some money through being a social media influencer even so it’s a lot of work. Naya explains how budgets work for her and Lo reveals she loves to save money. And although she’s a saver, she confesses that she’s learnt to treats herself when she want something because it gives her a spark of joy. The girls answer some great cub questions and close by giving us two challenges when it comes to money. This is a super insightful episode and has some great advice about preparing for the future.

    We are all about best friends on this episode as Naya and Lo are joined by their besties; Jaz Gray and Nicole Heavirland respectively. We get the low down on what made them click and why their relationships are so special both on and off the field. We find out their pet peeves and how they annoy each other, and we also hear how their different personalities work to improve the other. Plus Nicole spills the beans about Lo as her room mate when they are on tour. And if you follow them on social media you’ll have an idea that anything goes between these two! And no, they are not dating! Our favorite Leo’s also answer cubs questions so stay tuned to the end. This is a fun episode.
