Balancing Career Dreams and Hockey Life with Kat Ellis

Today on Breaking the Ice, I’m joined by Katherine (Kat) Ellis, girlfriend of Jake Wise, who finished last season for the Colorado Eagles in the AHL, freelance sports media creator, on camera host, and the mind behind Out of Her League, a series that highlights women and their unique perspectives in the world of sports.

Kat and I dive into what it’s really like to build a media career while living the ever changing life of a hockey girlfriend. From producing and editing her own show to navigating the shift from college hockey to pro life in Colorado, Kat opens up about the behind the scenes reality of creating something meaningful in a world that doesn’t always know where to place you.

We talk about:

• How Out of Her League started as a passion project and evolved into a space that gives visibility to overlooked women in sports

• The reality of moving through different seasons of hockey even when you’re in the same place

• Balancing ambition with a relationship that’s constantly on the move

• Why staying true to yourself is the most important thing you can do

and so so much more!
