## Resource

Gloss Squad… today's guest is proof that sometimes the algorithm understood the assignment. I discovered La-Toya (aka Toy Toy 💁🏽‍♀️) on Instagram after reposting a mindset clip about Olympic skier Eileen Gu — and two days later? She's on the pod. That's how we move. La-Toya is the founder of Girl Talks Sports , a growing global media platform and community created by women who love sports — and who are done waiting for permission to take up space. We talk about: • Growing up between Jamaica 🇯🇲 and Canada 🇨🇦 and falling in love with hockey • Why women have always been sports fans — the media just hasn't reflected it • Periods at the Olympics (yes, we went there 👏) • Why Serena Williams is the GOAT. Pregnant Australian Open win. End of debate. And the mic-drop moment? "We're not trying to play catch up. We're trying to surpass." Chills. La-Toya created Girl Talks Sports because she didn't see a welcoming, judgment-free space for women who love the game. So she built one. Global. Inclusive. Engaged. And growing. Now What for her? Sponsors. Expansion. More women's voices in sports. Bigger rooms. Louder conversations. Gloss Squad — if you love sports, mindset, confidence, or powerful women building tables instead of waiting for invites… this episode is your vibe. Because midlife isn't a crisis — it's just a plot twist. 💄✨ 🔗 Connect with La-Toya 📸 IG: @girl_talks_sports 🎙️ Now What?!
