Join Kirsty this week as she chats with&nbsp;Essi Aittasalo about the need for equality for women in sports. As well as what key players are starting to realise this now, and what we can all do to create change. They also discuss what it's like to be a woman in a male dominated sport in an inspiring and motivating episode, that will leave you wanting to create change.&nbsp;You can find Essi on her personal instagram (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/ezzii/">@ezzii</a>) and a hockey account she runs: BUIHA Development (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/buihadev/">@buihadev</a>)
