Welcome back to Rock Stars! Today, we get into what our first real March break at home with our kids has looked like and the big lesson we got out of it. What started out as a week of “I’m bored” turned into meaningful family moments we’ll always remember, simply because we all chose to be present. We unpack how the mindset of “being where your feet are” hasn’t just shown up in our family life, but in all aspects of life. No matter what you have going on, your life is happening right now, and the most powerful thing you can do is stop wishing the time away. If anything we said resonated, we want to hear from you! Leave us a comment sharing your thoughts and what you think we should talk about next. We’ll see you next time.

Standing Out From The Crowd
2026-03-25 | 43 mins.
What does it really take to stand out in today’s world? We’re not just talking about athletes, but about anyone chasing big goals and trying to build a life they’re proud of. Today on Rock Stars, we explore how to separate yourself from the crowd and why we think it’s easier than ever to do this. We dive into how small actions, like following through on your word, can set you apart and build your confidence and reputation in ways many people miss. We also get into passion, work ethic, and whether it’s possible to chase multiple dreams at once. From balancing law and elite curling to raising a family while building our careers, we reflect on the mindset required to pursue something extraordinary and why consistently doing hard things might be the real advantage.

Are The Scottie's and Brier Broken?
2026-03-18 | 57 mins.
In this episode of Rock Stars, we take on a big question that many curling fans and players have been wondering for years: are the Scotties Tournament of Hearts and the Brier still working the way they were meant to? We look back at our first national championships in 2002 and share what made those events feel so special. We explore the format, sponsorships, how the player experience has changed over time, and whether some of that original magic may have been lost along the way. We also discuss what curling needs to protect vs. rethink and the complicated realities behind today’s format changes, including the challenge of balancing provincial representation with putting the very best teams on the ice.

Olympic Emotional Rollercoaster
2026-03-11 | 32 mins.
When a moment doesn’t unfold the way an athlete dreamed, the weight of it can linger for years, even when the rest of the world has already moved on. Today on Rock Stars, we reflect on the emotional roller coaster that comes with the Olympic Games. Watching the Games from the outside brought back powerful memories for us as former competitors, reminding us of how much work and hope goes into chasing a single Olympic moment. We also talk about the reality behind social media criticism, and why it can be so difficult for athletes to hear people judging performances without understanding what it truly takes to get there. For us, the Olympics will always be about more than medals. It’s about courage, effort, and the incredible achievement of simply standing on that stage as an Olympian.

Curling Rules - How Are They Enforced?
2026-03-04 | 36 mins.
In this episode of Rock Stars, we get into one of the biggest talking points from the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics: the curling rules controversy that had everyone weighing in. We unpack exactly what happened with the hog line violation debate and why it sparked so much reaction. We explore the integrity of curling as a self-policed sport, questioning whether officials, video replay, or new technology are the right path forward. We also get honest about the pressure this kind of spotlight puts on athletes, the role of social media in shaping narratives around “cheating,” and whether curling needs stronger rule enforcement to grow with new fans. We also mention our favourite Olympic moments and why we still believe curling’s future is bright.
