About this listen

In Episode 6 of Daylilie Diaries, we sit down with Canadian Rugby 7s captain Olivia Apps—an athlete whose leadership style left a permanent impression. From navigating Olympic heartbreak to reshaping the culture of a national team, Liv shares what it means to lead with authenticity, build trust, and make the comeback stronger than the setback.

We dive into her ACL recovery, her time as captain (and from reserve to captain in one year!), and how a younger generation taught her to yes, play the game of rugby at the highest level, but also to have fun. This episode is a masterclass in resilience, identity, and the real work of culture change in elite sport.


Whether you're a current athlete, a future leader, or someone figuring out how to show up fully as yourself, this one’s for you.


🎧 Listen in, laugh with us, and leave feeling more inspired than when you arrived.
