Private Podcast: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19H6XR05ztoKVymzE_84k6s96chFvwFFR/view?usp=sharing
This conversation inspired a piece in National Fisherman that went semi-viral in the BC commercial fishing community, I am told. I am so honored to help facilitate a fellow POCF to speak their truth and get their voices heard!
Melissa goes off, and it is inspiring to hear what this POCF, mom, and small business owner is working to improve and fight for their fishery. Note: She DID know this was being recorded for the private podcast series, so that you know π , and she gets really personal about what’s happening to the fisheries up there. It’s just different when you speak to people who get you, am I right? (That’s you, POCF!)
If you are interested in advocacy work, this is how you do it. Melissa is also super open and looking forward to connecting with you, too!
Also, I would love to help be a platform for you in that way if needed. Let’s get your story told on the public podcast (or private if you prefer), National Fisherman Magazine, the POCF Blog, and more. Contact support@pocfpride.com to start the convo!

This one is a behind-the-scenes of a Boss B*tch speaking from the heart, then needing to go back and review. Trish Whetstone is full of heart and personality anyway, and it’s even better when she agrees to chat with “just us” POCFs behind closed doors for a private podcast right after her passionate interview. Here’s the link to the Private Podcast, but if you’d like to hear where this conversation begins, links below for the goods!

This private podcast with Sena Wheeler is REAL talk on how she manages a family of three kids while her hubby is fishing in Alaska for six months out of the year, and her best recommendation for having bigger home/family discussions, like finances, in a healthy way.
As a bonus, Sena wanted to share the images to give a better insight into what motherhood and family look like for this West Coast family. I hope you enjoy this private chat just for us!
