      👀 I see you! Many Partners of Commercial Fishermen are either actively campaigning for their fisheries, or wondering how to become more involved. As we grow our Beautiful community, there will be more tools and resources to help support you in the areas you’re most interested in/needing more clarity or support in. For example: ➡️ Are you wondering where to start? ➡️ Have you hit a deadend and looking for a new route? ➡️ Is it something more nuanced than that? 🪄If you could wave a magic wand, what do you wish you had more support/clarity with to help your fishery thrive? Let’s share where we are on our individual journeys so we can find ways to lift ourselves up to the seat of power, productivity, and prosperity for our fisheries and families! #commercialfishing #fishery #partnersofcommercialfishermen #pocfpride

      Type “Podcast” in the comments and I’ll send you the link! 🔗 I go into more detail abt the sober-convos we’ve had in the last two months + my relationship to weed and alcohol. I didn’t think I’d get into some of the personal weed stories that I share. However, your sober-curiosity/ courage to go along your sobriety journey gives me courage to share mine. Thank you for that. 🫶 I also share several memoirs about addiction that helped me feel less alone when I quit drinking. It was almost like my own personal support group. If you wanna catch up on our sober-convo’s in IG stories, tap the highlight “Sobriety 💫” below the link in bio. 🎙️ You can listen to the episode on the Partners of Commercial Fishermen podcast, on Apple, Spotify, and your favorite podcast platforms. (Or, comment “podcast“ and I’ll send you the link!) You are not alone. Let’s get into it. 😎 #sobriety #podcast #alcoholfree #weed #sobrietystory #sobercurious #noweedcurious #partnersofcommercialfishermen #pocfpride

      When tragedy strikes our commercial fishing families and you don’t know what to do: Breathe. (Elongate your exhale.) Pray. (Or send healing energy.) Hold space for them in your heart. ♥️ #windwalker 🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️

      Comment “GIFT” for access to the FULL list! We own half of these and rest were recommended by other Partners of Commercial Fishermen, so you know we got you covered. Each item is linked for easy shopping. 🛍️ Don’t worry, you still have time, even though your entire town is already decorated for the holidays like it’s tomorrow. One of my faves is the TSA Known Traveler Number. I bought one for Chris and it’s the gift that keeps on giving when he flies from fishery to fishery, and fun travels in between. ✈️ See what else is prepped and ready for you with a click on pocdpride.com, link in bio, OR comment “GIFT” and I’ll hook you up! 🎁 What has been a memorable gift you’ve given your fisherman or that they have given you? *Also, not sure why the first slide is jacked but I’m definitely not wigging like I would’ve in the past. Ain’t nobody got time for that. I think this is called “growth.” #giftideas #holidaygifts #couplegifts #partnersofcommercialfishermen #pocfpride

      BIG SHOUT OUT bc you deserve the best: TAHMAs are the only fishing boots we recommend, and here’s why: I came across TAHMA boots while walking out of the Pacific Marine Expo last year. I didn’t have plans to stop; I was tired after three long days of PME (IYKYK). Yet, I was curious about a new boot on the market. They didn’t have a huge gimmick to draw people in like the other booths, but rather stacks of boxes to try on and purchase on sight. What could they offer that other famous brands did not? Turns out, a lot! They are the ONLY boot on the market that passes military testing: glycerine on steal. (They don’t call them “GripTec” for nothing.) As a partner of a commercial fisherman, my top concern is safety, and if this means my fisherman has a better chance at safety on the water, I’m all in. 🦺 TAHMA’s last waaaaaay longer than others we’ve tried, and we’ve tried them all. Ex: Our deckhand busted a new pair of (insert popular brand) two weeks into crabbing in Oregon. We immediately sent him a pair of TAHMA’s, and he hasn’t looked back. 🔒 Instead of tossing out worn-down boots every other season, TAHMAs stand strong, ready to roll again and again. (Dare we say, more eco-friendly!) Their price point is similar to others, plus you get more wear for your money. ✅ Fishermen from all fisheries have tested the boots on every slimy and slippery deck there is with rave reviews, and TAHMA’s got testimonials to prove it. 🗣 TAHMA doesn’t just talk about “wanting to be” the best boots for fishermen; they truly are. 🏆 I’m proud to say that TAHMA GripTec boots are the *only* boots the Partners of Commercial Fishermen community recommends because they are the only boot that tests for the highest standards of comfort and safety. Pass this along to your fisherman to find them at booth #1166. Or, you can purchase boots directly at www.tahmaboots.com/. (Pro tip: Size up if you wear Bama socks. And tell them the Partners of Commercial Fishermen sent you!) What boots are keeping your fisherman safe this season? #commercialfishing #fishinglife #boots #safetyboots #partnership #tahma #tahmaboots #partnersofcommercialfishermen #pocfpride

      We’ve talked a lot about sobriety in my stories the past few weeks and many questions came in re: getting over that initial hump. That phase when all the feelings that you’ve been numbing rise to the surface, and what it takes to enter a new way of life that you long for; AKA less shame, guilt, no hangovers, etc. (Our discussions are saved under “Sobriety 💫” highlights if you’d like to join in.) There are many ways to get through it like therapy, group support, smash room to let the rage out. And here are 3 DIY ways that you can accomplish that emotional release all on your own. DIY SALT WATER THERAPY 💧CRY. Like, ugly cry. Sob, wail, snotty nose weeping, bawling, whatever you want to call it. Salty tears help release that energy to make room for your new self. (Pro tip: do it in the privacy of your own home or remote parts of nature instead of, like, the airport. But if you must, bust it out.) 💧 SWEAT. Exercise, dance, sauna, steam whatever makes you feel good to get nice and salty and release those toxins that are crowding up your beautiful body. Make sure to hydrate after with water, preferably w electrolytes. 💧 OCEAN or BODY OF WATER. The ocean is the answer for so many and, in my opinion, the colder the better. #winhoff Salt Water dips can support the immune system and benefit mental health by boosting production of beta-endorphins; that elusive, 100% natural “feel-good” high we all crave. It’s truly transformative, even just one quick dip! Regardless of which you choose, trying just one new thing means you’re stepping into the person you are meant to be. You can do it. You are not alone. 💫 Which one of these options would you try/or have made the biggest impact for you?
