Transforming decades of pain and hidden struggle into a mission of hope requires immense courage and clarity. Former commercial fisherwoman Colleen Clifford spent 36 years navigating the treacherous Bering Sea while trapped in a destructive pattern, until a devastating loss sparked her journey toward life beyond the binge. Following the tragic loss of her husband Scott to alcohol-related suicide, Colleen made a sacred promise to turn tragedy into awareness, inspiring her memoir, Life Beyond the Binge: A Commercial Fisherwoman's Journey Home. In this episode, Colleen Clifford shares her powerful insights on health coaching, breaking through denial, and empowering others to redefine their relationship with alcohol.
IN THIS EPISODE, YOU’LL HEAR ABOUT THINGS LIKE:
- How 36 years as a commercial fisherwoman on the Bering Sea served as an escape from reality and internal struggles.
- The "95-5 factor" of binge drinking and how the dangerous 5% wild card leads to life-altering tragedies and loss.
