In sports, the bond between teammates often goes beyond the game — you become family. In this episode, the Packers reunite with one of their own, Emma Woods, to reflect on the unforgettable moments of last season. Emma, who lived with Madison and Anya while playing for the Sirens, quickly became a "pseudo-mom" to their kids, forging deep and unexpected connections. Join us as we dive into life off the ice — from how Madison and Emma went from rivals to best friends, to that unforgettable (and hilarious) moment when their son Waylon had an accident in Emma's bathroom. It’s a heartwarming, candid conversation about the true meaning of team spirit and family.

Few topics are as important to the Packers as mental health. In this episode, they take a second to reflect on where this passion stems from. From Anya's initiative to bring a sports psychologist onto the Riveters team to Madison advocating for suicide prevention on the ice, they share how these moments fueled their commitment to change the hockey community for the better. They also open up about their own struggles with depression and anxiety, and why they encourage their kids to embrace honesty and openness about their emotions at home. Most importantly, they share the resources and tips that helped them get through challenging times. If you're struggling, know that you're not alone—we see you, we hear you, and we love you.

If you or someone you know is experiencing thoughts of suicide, please reach out to the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline by dialing 988.

To fans, three-time Olympian Natalie Spooner seamlessly transitioned back to the ice after giving birth, even earning honors as the 2024 PWHL Most Valuable Player and Forward of the Year. But in reality, there was a lot more going on behind the scenes. In this candid conversation, Natalie opens up to Madison and Anya about the challenges she faced — both on and off the ice — during her pre- and post-partum journey. She reveals how the lack of education around the postpartum experience impacted her and what information could have made a significant difference. Madison and Anya also dive into the reasons behind Natalie’s offensively low draft pick last year and what her remarkable comeback means to them as mothers.
