In this episode, Addie sits down with Liv Rose — freediver, ocean educator, and founder of Liv for the Sea — to talk about ocean confidence, vulnerability, and how connection beneath the surface can shape how we show up for the planet. From witnessing coral bleaching firsthand to leading small-group expeditions across the Pacific, Liv shares what it means to teach courage, build community, and fall in love with the sea.
We talk about:
Finding identity and confidence through freediving
Seeing coral bleaching up close — and how ecosystems can recover
Building Liv for the Sea into a global expedition business
Balancing tourism, culture, and conservation in remote places
Why seaweed farming gives her hope for the future
