Prepare yourselves...it’s a LONG one but my hope is that it will be helpful and super informative (also, take a shot every time I say it is what it is, in this episode). From everything I have gathered, it’s so important to still do your own personal research before you travel. This should give you some mental clarity before you read everything online and get overwhelmed. You got this!
We broke this up into four parts, each segment being about 30 minutes.
- I speak to flying with my goldendoodles as ESA (which I’ve done to Sweden and Austria) and within the United States.
- @meghan.schofield talks about flying with her golden in Cargo (to and from Canada). We talk about the steps you need to take to get your dog, their cage and your mind ready because we know there is so much fear regarding putting your pup underneath the plane.
- @evellance clears the air that you CAN fly ESA into the U.K. I hand the floor to her and she breaks down, in order, what you need to do in advance for this. She talks about how there is no quarantine, fees to expect and more!
- @veronicakosarew does not have her dog or cat as ESA but has spent the last two seasons in the U.K. She talks about the alternative methods that you can take to get there with your animals as a “pet!” We also touch on pet passports.

Jessica Lynch, wife to Kevin Lynch, who finished last season as a forward for the Montreal Laval Rockets, mom of Emma & Ella, and owner of @yogababyclothing joins me today on the pod. We talk about being a hockey wife pre-kids to post kids and what it’s like being a mom in this lifestyle. She tells the story about how her first born, spent the first 9 months of her life, while on an AHL call up, in a hotel #HOCKEYLIFE am I right?! Jessica handles this lifestyle with grace and her laid-back personality is endearing and inspires me to #coolmyjets when times get tough.
