I have quite the episode for you today! You'll meet Michelle Bernsdorf Jensen, a French-speaking Canadian from Ottawa who is now raising three multilingual babies in Germany while building her own business (and somehow making it all look effortless)! Michelle is the wife of Nicholas Bernsdorf Jensen, a 13-year professional hockey player from Denmark, and their story is one of the most fascinating and layered ones I have had the pleasure of hearing on this podcast.

We talk about what it really looks like to raise three kids in four languages, how Michelle dealt with postpartum depression while her husband was off living his hockey dream, the career she put on hold and is now building back on her own terms, and why after 13 years in Europe she has absolutely zero plans to move back to Canada.

This one had me laughing, nodding, tearing up and genuinely in awe from start to finish. Michelle, thank you so much for joining me to do this!

Did something in this conversation I had with Michelle resonate with you? We'd love to hear about it, so let us know over on Instagram, @wereinonepod, and we'll see you back soon for another hard-hitting episode!

Just some of the highlights you'll hear:

• The story of how Michelle spotted the new Scandinavian guy on the roster at Plattsburgh, introduced herself on the spot and never looked back

• What her dad said the moment he found out she was following a Danish man to Europe and why her mom already knew it was coming

• The two things nobody warns you about in year one when your husband plays in Denmark

• How Michelle navigated postpartum depression while raising babies abroad without family nearby, and the honest conversation that had to happen

• The four language household that leaves dinner guests completely confused, and the three year old who somehow speaks all four fluently

• Why buying a house in Bremerhaven was the best decision they ever made and how Michelle turned it into exactly the home she wanted

• The brilliant idea that became her business, Be All In, and why the hockey rink was the perfect place to launch it

• What she says to people who think the hockey wife life is all "travel and glamour"

• Why Michelle says she has zero interest in her husband becoming a coach when he retires from playing professionally

• The Danish Christmas tradition she has fully embraced and the one Canadian tradition she absolutely refused to give up
