Toni Will is the General Manager of the Kalamazoo Wings professional hockey team, a role she's held for over a decade after a 13-year career in banking and a brief, pivotal stop at the Chamber of Commerce. She's a speaker, coach, conference organizer behind empowHER, host of the Women In podcast, and author. She is also the force behind Rainbow Ice, making the Kalamazoo Wings the first professional hockey team ever to dye the ice rainbow in a statement that everyone is welcome.

In a culture where drinking is practically in the job description, Toni made a quiet but profound decision to go alcohol-free in October 2020. What followed wasn't just sobriety — it was a full reclamation of identity, clarity, and the kind of leadership that only becomes possible when you stop outsourcing your ability to cope.

This is a conversation about what it means to redefine yourself — as a leader, as a woman in a male-dominated industry, and as a person who decides that "normal" simply isn't working anymore.
