Spearfishing, Motherhood, and Cooking What You Catch with Kimi Werner

Kimi Werner, a world champion spearfisher and cook, discusses how motherhood reshaped her adventurous life and career. Motherhood prompted reflection on the absence of mothers in extreme outdoor sports, and she feared losing value to sponsors. She recounts a recent spearfishing trip off Oahu's North Shore where she and her husband encountered aggressive sharks, requiring her to charge at them to protect their catch. Kimi shares how facing sharks taught her to transform fear into courage, a skill she also applies to public speaking. She also discusses her cookbook, "Kimi's Kitchen," a collection of recipes and stories inspired by her roots, travels, and family.
