13. The Dock Before the Storm

15. The Night Before Landing Day

It's the night before landing day, the final day of the 2026 lobster season. In this episode, I'm reflecting on another spring spent fishing with my dad, moving into my renovated home, learning to rest when I need it, and preparing for the transition into summer at Joey's Deep Sea Fishing. A conversation about seasons, change, and giving ourselves grace when life feels full.

14. Ready, Set, Lobster: What Setting Day Really Feels Like

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of setting day here on PEI — from the 3:45am alarm and crowded wharf to the chaos of getting 300 traps in the water before the first haul of the season. I’m also answering your questions about lobster fishing life: how crews are paid, what happens to female lobsters carrying eggs, what a typical day looks like on the boat, how the catch gets sold, and what fishermen actually do in the off-season. But beyond the logistics, this episode is really about adjustment — returning to a physically demanding schedule, balancing house renovations and exhaustion, and remembering how to live by the rhythm of the season again. It’s tiring. It’s beautiful. And somehow, every year, we come back anyway.

13. The Dock Before the Storm

In this episode, I’m sharing a real-time reflection from a transition season, right before lobster fishing begins, where life feels full, but unstructured. I talk about navigating days without routine, the mental load of “time freedom,” stepping away when you hit a wall, and learning to trust yourself without rigid expectations. If things feel a little off or uncertain right now… maybe you’re not stuck. Maybe you’re just between tides.

12. Coming Back Slowly

Coming back from vacation didn’t feel like a reset. I got sick, my energy was low, and with lobster season around the corner, I couldn’t shake the feeling that I wasn’t ready. In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s been like to move through that space — the in-between where you’re not fully rested, but not yet in your next season either. This is about letting go of the pressure to feel ready… and trusting that you will be when the time comes.

11. Take the Leap

What’s the thing you’ve been dreaming about doing but haven’t started yet? In this episode, we’re talking about why waiting until you feel “ready” can keep you stuck — and why confidence and clarity actually come after you take the first step. I’m sharing my own experience of leaving my full-time job, how our paths often evolve in ways we can’t predict, and why the biggest regret for most people isn’t failing… it’s never trying. If there’s something calling you to step outside your comfort zone, this episode is your reminder: you don’t need the whole plan — you just need the courage to begin. 🎙️
