Breaking the Ice is a podcast and community I created for the spouses of professional hockey players because I know firsthand how unique, overwhelming and isolating this lifestyle can feel!
Whether you’re brand new to it or have been around the rink for years, this space is for you. It's a place where we can be honest, connect over shared experiences, and feel a little less alone in all the chaos.
I started Breaking the Ice to create something I wish I had when I was figuring it all out, a place to feel seen, understood, and part of something bigger than just your own story.
You're so welcome here.
MEET THE HOST
When I entered this hockey world, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I didn’t have ANY friends that were dating professional athletes and I had no one to ask questions to when times got tough. As much as I loved all of my friends, I felt like no one could relate to what I was going through. Back in 2014, I went to a game with another hockey girlfriend and she offered to add me into an exclusive Facebook community for hockey wives and girlfriends. Even though I didn’t utilize the group until our relationship progressed, it was nice to see that I was not the only person living this crazy lifestyle.
