Working with Polaris shortlisted Oliver Fairfield (FET NAT, Leif Vollebekk, Andy Shauf, Timber Timbre) on "Trophy Wife," I wanted to tell my own story as a reminder that any woman can be a victim of sexism. Our significant other's selective kindness, status, and desirability are never worth the pain.

 

During my marriage, I was the difficult wife; the one hockey organizations had their eyes on because I had the potential to change the alkalinity of the team with my "radical views." Hockey wives are treated as nothing and yet everything. This dichotomy is eerily similar to how our society views women in general.

 

This song is a call to be aware of transactional love; love in which you are an item with an attributed value, and not an individual.
