If there is one guest who could rival the hockey world's frequent flyer record, it might just be today's! Dominique Wishart has spent over a decade navigating life as the partner of Ty Wishart, a professional hockey player who spent 17 years suiting up across North America and Europe before the family packed their bags one final time for the ultimate destination: Melbourne, Australia. From a chance meeting at a co-ed softball tournament in the Okanagan to raising three kids across Germany, the Czech Republic, and now the Land of Oz, Dom's story is one of the most layered, honest, and beautifully chaotic journeys I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.

Through every cross-continental move, missed championship, and bare-naked dash across a Czech gynecologist's office, Dom proves that home isn't a place. Rather, it's the life you build with the people you love, wherever in the world you happen to land.

Did something in this conversation I had with Dominique resonate with you? I'd love to hear about it, so let us know over on Instagram, @wereinonepod, and we'll see you back soon for another hard-hitting episode!

Just some of the highlights you'll hear:

• The co-ed softball tournament that brought Dom and Ty together and why she was absolutely, definitely not interested in him at the time

• How the long distance between them ended up being the unexpected secret to building a stronger foundation early on

• The story behind naming their daughter Scotland and why a Czech hospital full of nurses quietly decided otherwise

• What it's actually like to have your first baby overseas when almost nobody in the building speaks your language

• The COVID baby plot twist that turned a dropped Expedia call into a sign from the Universe

• Why they drove to Italy anyway with a newborn, no passport AND the world's biggest stroller

• The wives and girlfriends hierarchy in European hockey and what Dom's dream first year in Germany set her up completely unprepared for

• Ty's retirement and the unexpected way Australia gave him the perfect bridge to it

• The role reversal moment when her husband walked into the same career she'd spent a decade building

• Why the hardest stretch of their marriage had nothing to do with distance

• The honest conversation about raising kids without family close by and what their youngest's personality might be telling them

• Rapid fire questions for Dom, including the very first thing she Googles in a new city
