What does it take to lead in a space that wasn't built for you — while also rebuilding yourself from the inside out?

Colleen Clifford is a commercial fisherman who has spent her career navigating two kinds of open water: the literal kind, and the internal landscape of recovery. In this conversation, Colleen shares her journey through alcohol recovery, what it means to show up as a woman in a fiercely male-dominated industry, and the hard-earned clarity that comes from a life lived close to the elements.

This is a conversation about identity, resilience, and what real leadership looks like when there's no one ahead of you charting the course.

We talk about:

• Her recovery story and what sobriety made possible
• What it's actually like being a woman in commercial fishing — the reality, not the romanticized version
• How she developed her leadership voice in an industry that didn't hand it to her
• What the sea teaches you about yourself that nothing else can
• The unexpected parallels between navigating open water and navigating life

Whether you're in recovery, leading in a space that wasn't designed for you, or just craving a conversation with a woman who has genuinely done it differently — you don't want to miss this one.
