Mark Borowiecki built his reputation in the NHL as one of the league’s toughest defensemen — fearless, relentless, and never afraid to drop the gloves. But what makes him remarkable is not just his career, but the heart behind it.
Known to fans as “BoroCop,” Mark has become one of hockey’s strongest advocates for men’s mental health. From speaking out about men's mental health to sharing his own journey with OCD and anxiety, he’s used his platform to break stigma in a sport that often prizes silence.
In this episode, Jenny Chen sits down with Mark to talk about:
🏒 Lessons from his decade-long NHL career with Ottawa and Nashville
💛 Why even as an enforcer, he leads with kindness and compassion
👨👩👧👦 How fatherhood is shaping the legacy he wants to build for Miles, Leigh, and Devyn
🌍 Why the next generation of athletes needs to see strength redefined
This is a conversation about toughness, tenderness, and leaving the game better than you found it.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
