Life By Design
2026-04-15 | 30 mins.
Welcome back to Rock Stars! We get asked all the time how we manage the chaos of our lives, so today, we’re sharing how we stay motivated, happy, and fulfilled. Between the kids' activities, our entrepreneurial ventures, and traveling for curling, it takes a solid team to keep everything in our lives running smoothly. Our secret? A little bit of flexibility, a lot of communication, and the help of some incredible family members (shout out to Grandma Carol!). The key to our full life is living it by design, with intention and a clear focus on what truly matters: family, passion, and always striving to be better. We know there’s always room for growth and adventure ahead, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us.

Slamming Into Rock League
2026-04-08 | 44 mins.
In this episode of Rock Stars, we’re diving into the exciting launch of Rock League, the first-ever multi-gender curling league. We reflect on the journey curling has taken, from the early days of the Grand Slams to where the sport stands today. We discuss how pivotal players and moments in curling history shaped the growth of the game, and how Rock League is set to elevate it even further. From increased sponsorships to the inclusion of women in the Grand Slams, we’re seeing a massive shift in how curling is viewed, and we couldn’t be more excited about it. We also talk about what makes Rock League a game-changer: the rule changes, the shorter, faster matches, and the overall fan experience. With some of the best players in the world coming together, this isn’t just about curling, it’s about creating an experience like no other. We can’t wait to see how it all unfolds and how Rock League will help grow the game even more. If you loved this episode, leave us a comment or review and subscribe to keep up with all the action!

Be Where Your Feet Are
2026-04-01 | 28 mins.
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.
