In Episode 13 of When I Grow Up, Sienna and her dad, Ben, chat with two stars of New Zealand’s White Ferns cricket team, Maddy Green and Izzy Gaze. Just weeks ago, the duo helped secure a historic victory, bringing home the T20 World Cup trophy – the first-ever win for New Zealand in T20 cricket, for either women or men. And yes, they brought the trophy into the studio!

Episode Highlights
Overcoming Adversity: The White Ferns entered the World Cup after a tough losing streak of 10 matches in a row. Maddy and Izzy share how the team turned things around, rebuilt their confidence, and stayed mentally strong even when the odds were stacked against them. They also discuss the challenges of competing in a sport where a career can be unpredictable and short-lived.
The Thrill of Victory: Maddy and Izzy recount the surreal moments of winning the World Cup, from the final ball to the epic celebrations that lit up social media. They dive into the outpouring of support and how they’re planning to use the prize money.
Being Part of the Change: Both players took unique paths to the team. Maddy, a hard-hitting batter, came up during a time when cricket players had to juggle other jobs, while Izzy, a wicketkeeper and batter, joined the team in the era of full-time professional contracts. They reveal what it’s really like to travel the world playing the game they love and how their victory has inspired the next generation of young girls to pick up a bat and ball.

Packed with inspiring advice for future sports stars and heartfelt reflections on playing cricket professionally, these two world champions also share the lessons they’d tell their younger selves.

Like most teenagers, Sienna Boyce is still figuring out what she wants to be -  an actor, scientist, rugby player, singer, chef… maybe even a TikTok star. So, she’s teamed up with her Dad, Ben Boyce, to chat with incredible women from New Zealand and around the world who’ve built inspiring careers.

Each episode dives into their journeys - from humble beginnings to big achievements - and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. The goal? To give Sienna (and young people everywhere) the confidence to dream big and discover what’s possible.

And the best part? It proves that even the most successful people didn’t have it all figured out when they were young either!
