About this listen
Before the system.
Before the shutdown.
Before everything changed again.
Episode 3 of Blitz and Bloom is about creation.
This is the chapter where football stops being personal and starts becoming purposeful.
Tanya picks up where momentum was building — stepping into leadership, formalizing her work with the CDMFA, and helping launch Alberta’s first girls’ tackle football pathway. What started with 18 girls on a field grew into multiple teams, national competition, and a pipeline from girls football to women’s leagues and Team Canada.
She walks through what it actually takes to build opportunity: structure, buy-in, logistics, and people willing to show up before there’s proof it will work.
And then — just as the system begins to connect — everything goes dark.
Seasons are cancelled. Pathways disappear. The work moves behind the scenes.
This is the episode about building something real.
About scale.
About momentum.
And about the quiet moment when success creates pressure — and something has to give.
The chapter before the exit.
