Alphabet Confusion ... I put what on my head in the shower?

Hockey, Home & Chasing Goals with TJ Part 2

TJ joins Lisa for a warm, funny, and heartfelt conversation about hockey life, Welsh quirks, and growing up. They laugh through hockey slang like twig, lettuce, and top cheddar, share pre‑game rituals (playlists, taping sticks, braiding hair), and compare UK vs. Canadian life—from pylons to high school culture. TJ opens up about her journey in sport, university plans, and the tough moments that shaped her confidence. The episode closes with a touching reflection on resilience, support, and TJ’s growing strength as a role model for young skaters.

Women Who Inspire TJ on the Ice Part 1

In this lively, laughter‑filled episode, Lisa sits down with TJ — ice hockey powerhouse, Maple Leafs fan, and all‑round inspiration. TJ shares how she fell in love with hockey at seven, worked her way through every level of girls’ hockey, and eventually earned her place playing university level Sports in Canada. She breaks down the cost, commitment, early‑morning practices, and fierce determination behind the sport, while Lisa brings her signature Welsh warmth, humour, and girl‑power cheerleading energy. The two reminisce about TJ’s adventures in Wales and Scotland, from climbing Pen y Fan to tackling the longest Welsh train‑station name, and laugh their way through stories of beer‑league games, broken sticks, and the chaos of learning hockey lingo. It’s a fun, heartfelt conversation celebrating women in sport, family support, and the joy of chasing what you love.

Pause, Proactivity, and Canadian Chaos

Lisa checks in from Canada after four chaotic failed recording attempts, finally settling in with her Canadian family and a suitcase with UK chocolate. She shares her fascination with local wildlife and reflects on a recent course that taught her the power of pausing before reacting. Through personal stories and HR insights, she explores how taking a breath, choosing proactive language, and giving yourself time can transform frustrating moments. She wraps up from an air‑conditioned Canadian haven, encouraging listeners to pause, reflect, and respond with intention this week.

The Lake, the Lesson, and the 10‑10‑10 Rule

In this episode, Lisa shares a light‑hearted update on her week from the joy of finishing her veneer journey to the unexpected twist of being put straight back into 24‑hour retainers (ulcer and all). Lisa says a walk around Cyfarthfa Park brought back memories of her year‑seven PE trauma, but also reminded her how far she’s come. She then introduces the 10‑10‑10 rule, a simple mindset tool that’s been helping her pause, reflect, and take the emotion out of everyday decisions. Lisa says it’s a tiny shift with a big impact, and one she hopes will help others too.

The Three Generation Wake up Call

A light‑hearted chat about mixing up Alexa and Siri names leads Lisa into a deeper reflection on family stories, the “three‑generation rule,” and why we should live boldly, dream big, and stop worrying about other people’s opinions. She encourages listeners to keep their loved ones’ memories alive, chase their own dreams, and share their stories because no life is ever boring. Please give me a follow on Instagram Missbrightside25
