Buckle up. Today is the day my solo episode is out and I am catching you up you up to speed on my life. This episode is HONEST. This isn't a universal episode, or an episode where I am speaking for everyone. It's simply me sharing my truth. Whenever I record these solo episodes, I always listen back and think there are more things I wish I said or described! But I sat down one night during an away game, and shared my truth!

In this episode I am chatting about:

• Why we originally went overseas and what drew us to hockey there
• Walking through our Euro journey
• What I enjoy about the lifestyle over there
• Why we made the decision to be done with Europe
• Loneliness abroad and how that deeply affected my mental health
• Sharing our conversations about what life may look like after hockey
• Online noise about the hockey life
• the ECHL strike over Christmas
• How I am staying grounded and what I am focusing on with a crazy North American hockey schedule
