Power Plays and Breakaways with Nadine Piontek - Empowerment, Self Improvement and Purpose
Power Plays & Breakaways is where strategy meets soul—and where women stop playing small. Hosted by Nadine Piontek, a hockey mom turned life coach, this podcast is your locker room pep talk for life’s big plays. If you’ve ever found yourself asking “What now?” or “Is this it?”, you’re in the right place. We get real about mindset, identity shifts, motherhood, faith, and that burning desire to go after more—without apology. It’s about making bold decisions, breaking away from what’s holding you back, and creating momentum that sticks. No fluff. No filters. Just straight-up truth, encouragement...
The Truth Behind The Snap

It's going to be OK
We all have struggles, some more then others, but what is the key to getting out of it?
"I don't know what you're going thru, but I do know that you can do it and I believe in you."
My hope is this episode helps whoever needs it
How bad do you want it?
We all have things in this life that we want to have or achieve. It's usually a desire that stays stuck with us and keeps coming up over and over again. We seem to have a default habit of thinking 'why it can't happen for us' rather then 'how it can happen for us' - It's certainly a bad habit we picked up somewhere, but we can turn it around and change that way of thinking if we choose. You just have to ask yourself, "How bad do you want it?"
What is BEing PRESENTed to you?
I had a huge ah-ha moment this weekend and it's all spelled out in the episode title for you. The answers we seek are not in future or the past. We need to BE PRESENT to see what God/Universe/Source/Spirit is presenting to us now to get us to the desires of our heart.
It's ok to Take a Break
Life gets crazy and it can be a lot to handle, maybe even sometimes it can seem like it's too much. We feel like we need to go-go-go, and for what? Some of us are so busy that we don't pay attention to the fact that we are running on fumes and that we about to crash and burn. Then, we fall into a funk and don't know how to get out - But there is a way out. There is always a way out, but maybe being in the 'funk' is the exact place we have to go t...
Lessons from the Kiddos
After a break from it all, I'm happy to be back after taking some well needed time to be present for my kiddos, and the lessons they are teaching me have been eye opening. On this episode I explain why the hiatus and what lessons my kids have taught me
It's all in the Now
Now is the only time that matters. Not way back when, not what's coming up, but right NOW, in this moment. In this episode, I was inspired to talk about living in the moment and the power of the present, after a week of hearing from, and chatting with, fellow coaches.
You can find more in depth info on the subject in the book "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle and also from some of my friends in the links below:

Listen to the Whispers
Sometimes you gotta step back and take time for you to hear the whispers.
The Divine is always giving us hints and clues to the answers that we seek. Sometimes the answers can be loud and clear but other times it comes in a whisper. These whispers can easily be drown out by the noise of life, but it never really goes away until one day you finally hear it.
Emotions and the 90-Second Rule
Did you know there was a 90 second rule when it comes to emotions? Well I didn't, until recently.
On this episode I share a conversation that I have with my friend Rachel Powell to try and understand why some emotions seem to be fleeting and others seem to linger on, and how emotions effect us scientifically.

'Reel' Talk
Sharing your life on social media is a great way to self express, but sometimes once it's out there, we can wonder if we should have posted it or not. On this episode, I talk about all the mind chatter behind one simple reel that I created.

What is your Purpose?
We all crave meaning and fufilment in our lives, which tends to bring up the question, "What is my purpose?" It also seems like a deep and complicated question...but is it?
Self Love and Negative Thoughts
You would think that self love would be easy to do, but are you even aware of how often you might talk negativly about yourself? It seems like we do it without even knowing. Well, I'm over it, and it's time to switch things up and stop these unnecessary thinking habits.

Seeds and Weeds
As the quote goes "Your mind is the garden and your thoughts are the seeds. You can grow flowers or you can grow weeds" So with that being said, what seeds have you been sowing?
Do It Scared
It happens all the time - You have all this motivation to do something great but then shit gets real, and you get scared and then you don't do it. So Frustrating!!! It's happens to the best of us... so, what's the solution to stopping it from happening?
A Hockey Mom Taking Chances
As a Canadian girl, inherently, I have a love for hockey and choose to spend my winters hanging out at the rink with my kids. This hockey season was one for the books and had many beautiful life lessons that came into play. It was a year of making decisions, taking chances and team work.
In this eposiode, I talk about how this particular hockey season helped shape me and pushed me to grow.
Stuck is a Rut
We've all been there before, and it's not a fun place to be. But most of the time, being stuck in a rut is EXACTLY where you need to be to make a positive change in your life. So when we are in this proverbial rut, what's the quickest way to get out of it?
So Cliché
Good ol' clichés. We hear them all that time. Catchy little prases that seem to roll off the tongue when you don't know what else to say. They've become so common that no one seems to take them serious anymore, but is there more to the common cliché then you think?
My Favorite F Word
When you have a belief, it means you've accepted something to be true. Your beliefs might be based on facts, opinions or assumptions. But when you have an unshakable belief, it takes things to a whole other level. And that level starts with my favorite F word.

Friends or no friends? That is the question.
Humans can be assholes, which can make a person be a bit of a loner. But are we able to sustain a life being alone or is having friendships/relationships necesssary?

Weighing Thoughts
On average, we process about 70,000 thoughts per day. But some of these thoughts carry weight with them and that weight can hold us down and keep us stuck. So how do we get rid of the heaviness of these thoughts so we can move forward?

A Whole Bunch of BS
With all the B.S. in the world today, its hard to determine who is right and who is wrong... and whose to say who is right and who is wrong? Maybe no one is. I guess it really just stems on your own B.S. - You're gonna have to listen to find out!
Tis the Season for Believin'
The holiday season has arrived and this can mean different things for different people. Not everyone has the same beliefs when it comes to Christmas or even the same beliefs about every day life. The key is, are your beliefs supporting you or hindering you?
Trust
Trust can be a fickle thing. There are many different levels to it. So how do we know what we can trust, and what we can't?
Being Misunderstood
No one likes to be misunderstood. We express ourseleves the best we can in hopes that other people 'get' us. But what happens when they don't? Is there a way of avoiding these misconceptions?
Go Get It!
We all have brilliant ideas of ways to make money or improve the quality of our lives, but most of the time we stop ourselves before we even start - Why is that?
The F*ck It Factor
We've all been to that point where we've had enough and we just say F*ck it. But why does it have to come to that?
Birds of a Feather
You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Who is in your inner circle... people who fuel your future or keep you anchored to your past?
What's Next, What Now?
Transitions in life can sometimes be scary. It's the uncertainy of the unknown as you go through different chapters in life. So how do you get out of that lull?
You Gotta Start Somewhere
Getting started can be the hardest part, but without taking the first steps, you don't get anywhere. If youve ever felt like taking that first step is hard, but does it have to be?
