Gabby Allen, longtime in-arena host for the back-to-back Stanley Cup Champion Florida Panthers, television personality, media host, and co-host of the I’m With Her Podcast, joins Hidden Florida & Beyond for an honest conversation about sports, entertainment, mental health, and the reality of living life in the spotlight. 

Known to Panthers fans as one of the most recognizable voices inside Amerant Bank Arena, Gabby shares the unlikely path that took her from growing up in South Florida to working in professional sports, television, live events, and digital media. She talks about getting her start with the Panthers, the setbacks that came before her big break, and why persistence often matters more than talent when building a career in entertainment. 

The conversation goes far beyond sports. Gabby opens up about her struggles with depression, the pressures of constantly performing in public-facing roles, and the disconnect between how someone's life may appear on social media versus what they're actually experiencing behind the scenes. She explains why she and her co-host launched I’m With Her, a podcast centered on vulnerability, relationships, mental health, and the shared challenges people often feel they have to navigate alone.

She also shares stories from her career, including nerve-racking live hosting moments, working major sporting events, navigating viral internet attention, and learning how to keep performing even when life is throwing challenges her way off camera. Along the way, the conversation touches on confidence, imposter syndrome, burnout, friendship, family, and the importance of creating space for honest conversations

Welcome to Hidden Florida and Beyond.

This is a show about the people, passions, and moments shaping culture, leadership, and influence.

Some conversations start around major moments or careers, others wander into unexpected territory, but all of them are candid, wide-ranging, and driven by curiosity. 

Big guests. Real access. No small talk.
