Ep. 160: Kimi Werner on Motherhood, Freediving, and Spearfishing

Have you ever wondered if freediving and spearfishing are as peaceful as they seem? My guest today describes them as transcendent. Born and raised in Hawaii, Kimi Werner is a chef, an award-winning artist, motivational speaker, a U.S. National Spearfishing Champion, and most recently, a new mother. Join us for a conversation about life as a new mother, freediving, spearfishing, and hunting.

Listen in to hear why Kimi Werner is one of the most inspiring people I have ever met.
