Staying Grounded: How POCF Lena Kalafor Navigates Long Seasons Apart
Today, I sit down with Lena Kalafor, a member of the POCF private group chat membership, who lives in Florida while her fisherman, James, a clammer, works on a vessel off the coast of New Jersey.
In this episode, Lena opens up about finding community, the quirks of reunions, her advocacy efforts against offshore wind farms, and more. Plus, you’re going to appreciate the inspo for her latest spice business, Knead 2 Relax, as it directly relates to the POCF experience!
In This Episode, You'll Hear:
Lena’s move from New Jersey to Florida and how she adapted to the commercial fishing lifestyle
How she and James stay emotionally connected during long trips
The reality of reintegration and tips for smoother transitions
Her advocacy work surrounding wind farms and fishermen’s rights
The inspiration behind her spice business, Knead 2 Relax
What Lena values most about being a part of the POCF private chat membership.
