EPISODE 51 : JANELLE FOLIGNO

The hockey world is a better one for having Janelle Foligno & her family in it. The one-time french immersion teacher graces this episode with her contagious spirit & sweet soul, while sharing the unimaginable whirlwind start to parenthood that her & her husband Nick (Columbus Blue Jackets' Captain) were thrust into when their first child, Milana, was born with a congenital heart defect. Janelle speaks about being led by her own heart (out of a Tim Horton's in Sudbury ;)) and down the path of generously giving back with Nick, plus their newly shared "The Heart's Playbook" platform. The girls chat about everything from first dates & first wedding dances (brij & kodette may 'plead the fifth' on that one for completely different reasons;)) to the first thing on their post-covid-to-do-list ... there's always time to focus on the positive, especially with this incredible woman!
