    You do it to yourself on this one. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. That’s a rough listen.

  • Upsetting

    I was so excited about this show, because I am a mom who loves women’s hockey and the PWHL, but listening to this is honestly upsetting. The way that Madison talks to Anya is disturbing. She is seriously belittling and mean! If my partner talked to me like that, my mother would hit him with a car. Anya, please recognize how toxic she is, and question if you want this person raising your kids. Seriously, do you listen back to these episodes and think, wow I’m really mean to my wife!?
