Emmeli Rakell, wife of Rickard Rakell, who plays for the Pittsburgh Penguins, joins me this week on Breaking the Ice! Emmeli and her husband are Swedish and have spent a portion of their lives living in the US, while Rickard plays in the NHL.

In this episode we talk about:

• What it was like for Emmeli moving to the US, while hardly speaking English

• How isolating it can be to not have other people around who speak the same language as you

• What it has been like for her experiencing a new culture + new friends

• How she has changed her mindset in regards to this lifestyle

• Having a baby in the USA, as a Swede, and how things changed for her once she had kids in this lifestyle 

• Driving differences between USA + Europe and other hilarious culture differences between Europeans and Americans

and so much more!
