You said yes to hockey. Every season, every tournament, every broken stick — yes. Hockey Mama Money Club is for the mom who keeps saying yes and wants to stop white-knuckling the how. Real talk, real tools, and one very attentive student (of Disney World's Blizzard Beach lifeguards) who figured out a better way to approach all of it.

Season 1

  1. Episode 1

    The Sport We Said Yes To

    You were always going to say yes. The question was never whether — it was how. In this first episode of Hockey Mama Money Club, Tamsen Horton opens with the real talk: what competitive travel hockey actually costs (all of it, not just the line items you planned for), what it feels like to be the default parent carrying the financial weight of it, and why so many hockey families end up white-knuckling a sport their kids genuinely love. She also introduces two foundational frameworks — the Nail Polish Principle and the Blizzard Beach Principle — that explain exactly why the answers most hockey moms find don't work, and what going upstream actually looks like instead. What you'll take away: * Why the escalation from free skate to five figures a year happens one yes at a time — and why you'd say yes again * The Mandatory Vacation Problem: what happens when every family trip becomes a hockey trip * The emotional cost nobody names out loud — the cringe, the mental math in the bleachers, the tension of "I want to give them this" and "I don't know how we're doing this" existing at the same time * The Nail Polish Principle: why it's never the tool that fails you — it's the container * The Blizzard Beach Principle: the difference between treading water and going upstream — and why upstream is where everything changes * What Hockey Mama Money Club is, why it exists, and what's coming next If you've ever sat in the bleachers doing mental math when you should have been watching your kid — this episode is the one that finally says it out loud.

    Why I'm the One Saying This

    Before you keep listening, you deserve to know who's talking to you. In this episode, Tamsen Horton pulls back the curtain on who she is, how she got here, and why Hockey Mama Money Club exists now — in 2026 — and not a year sooner or later. She shares the story behind her law degree (it's not what you think), how her family navigates competitive travel hockey differently, and why a hockey mom with a unique set of skills finally couldn't sit in the bleachers anymore without saying something. This is the episode that earns your trust — or at least gives you everything you need to decide whether to give it. What you'll take away: Why Tamsen is a current hockey mom — not a former one — and what it means that she's standing right where you are The real story behind the law degree: how getting pissed off in corporate America led to law school at 32, and what she chose over the Jessica Pearson life when Kip was born What the MOM framework — Master Organizing Manager — actually means, and why hockey moms are already running one of the most complex operations in the building The friction framework: why Tamsen sees every problem as friction on a runway — and how that changes the way you approach solving it The Vacationing Life origin story: a cousin lost too soon, a Seth Godin quote, and the philosophy that underlies everything she builds Why now: the economy, Kip at 15, contracts coming, and the moment she couldn't stay quiet in the bleachers anymore What she is not — and why that matters as much as what she is If you heard Episode 1 and thought "okay, but who are you to say all this" — this episode is the answer.

    What Changes When the Money Works

    No problems in this episode. Just possibilities. In this third episode of Hockey Mama Money Club, Tamsen Horton paints a picture — not of a financial goal or a revenue number, but of a Saturday. The specific feeling of a Saturday when the money side is handled, the cringe is gone, and you are just there, fully present, watching your kid do what they love. She also shares a piece of her own story — growing up in an insane sport family as a competitive figure skater — and what it taught her about what hockey should and shouldn't be allowed to become in your family's life. This is the vision episode. And the invitation. What you'll take away: What it actually feels like when the financial noise gets quiet — and why that change, as unsexy as it sounds, transforms the entire experience of the sport The cringe going away: why handling an unexpected equipment bill without panic is one of the most underrated wins in a hockey family's life The vacation you chose: what it looks like when hockey is a part of your family's story — an important, joyful part — and not the whole story The contract moment: what changes for your kid when you walk into an opportunity prepared, advocating from knowledge instead of hope and FOMO Tamsen's figure skating origin story — and what growing up in an all-consuming sport family taught her about what she never wanted hockey to become for Kip The "both can be true" framework: how to hold the hard and the joy of this sport at the same time without either one canceling the other out What Hockey Mama Money Club actually is — a club, not a course — and why it lives on Kajabi instead of a Facebook group If you've been nodding along for three episodes, this one is your invitation.

    You Are Not Starting From Zero

    Before you build anything, you need to see what you already have. In this episode, Tamsen Horton dismantles the most common belief that stops hockey moms before they start: that they're beginning from scratch. You're not. You have been running a complex operation — managing logistics, finances, communication, scheduling, and crisis response — for years. That's not nothing. That's a substantial body of skill and hard-won knowledge that most people would pay for. This episode helps you see it, name it, and start working with it. What you'll take away: Why "starting from zero" is a belief worth dismantling — and what's actually true instead The MOM Framework introduced: Master Organizing Manager — why hockey moms are already running at C-suite level and don't know it The "I Figured This Out" test: how to identify the knowledge you've accumulated that other families are still struggling without Why Chris is the king of Facebook Marketplace flips — and why Tamsen would require millions of dollars to attempt the same (know your lane) The Italy coffee detour: why it's now lukewarm beverages around here, and what drawing a line on the ice looks like when you're a figure skater A practical AI hack: how to use ChatGPT or Claude to turn your average week into a LinkedIn profile that will genuinely blow your mind The three-question expertise inventory — your homework before Episode 5 (check the show notes for the full resource) If you've ever thought "I don't even know where to start" — this episode is where you start. And it's a lot further along than you think. Homework before Episode 5: Complete your expertise inventory. Three questions. Voice memo, notes app, AI tool — whatever works.
