The Water Women
Podcast

COMING SOON

Conversations shaped by the sea. Stories carried by women.

There is something about water that changes us.

The Water Women Podcast is a space for conversations that begin at the shoreline but reach far beyond it.

This isn't just a podcast about the ocean.

It's about the women who dedicate their lives to understanding it, protecting it, exploring it, creating alongside it, and finding themselves within it.

What it’s all about

The ocean covers more than 70% of our planet, yet so many of its stories remain unheard.

Behind every research expedition, conservation project, coastal business, creative pursuit, or life-changing swim is a woman whose relationship with water has transformed the way she sees the world.

These conversations are about more than careers.

They're about courage.

Curiosity. Connection.

And remembering that we are not separate from nature—we are part of it.

What You Can Expect

Whether you spend every day in the ocean or simply feel drawn to it, this podcast is an invitation to deepen your relationship with the natural world—and perhaps with yourself.

Every episode will invite you into honest, thoughtful conversations about:

  • Ocean conservation and marine science

  • Women working on, in, and for the water

  • Adventure, exploration and travel

  • Climate, sustainability and hope

  • Personal growth through nature

  • Entrepreneurship with purpose

  • Creativity inspired by the sea

  • Living a slower, more intentional life

  • The moments that changed everything

Interested in Being a Guest?

I'm always looking to connect with women whose lives have been shaped by water.

Whether you're a marine biologist, conservationist, sailor, surfer, scientist, artist, photographer, researcher, free diver, entrepreneur, author, or someone with a remarkable story to tell, I'd love to hear from you.

If your work—or your life—has been influenced by the ocean, there's a good chance our conversation belongs here.

GET IN TOUCH

Water has a way of stripping away everything unnecessary.

Again and again, I've found myself returning to the ocean, not because it gives me answers, but because it helps me ask better questions.

This podcast is my way of sharing those questions with women whose lives have been shaped by tides, coastlines, and open seas.

I hope these conversations leave you feeling a little more curious, a little more hopeful, and a little more connected to the water that connects us all.
