This week on Tea Time with Tara, I sit down with my new boss, new friend, and forever chaos twin, Frankie James—founder and CEO of Chirping Pucks Media. What starts as a ridiculous ride (think: exes, hockey superstition stank, and folding laundry as a love language) takes a turn into the raw and real.
Frankie opens up about his two suicide attempts, his difficult relationship with family, and the impact of his stepdad’s stage 4 cancer diagnosis. He shares how hockey—and human connection—pulled him through, how his company is reshaping the game, and why helping others is now part of his mission. We talk healing, humor, hockey, and how sometimes, the most unexpected connections become the most meaningful.
Trigger warning: We talk openly about suicide, trauma, and mental health. But there’s also a lot of laughter, weird superpowers, and a cameo from Love Is Blind.
