Leading Conversations

Cheryl Esposito welcomes Kimi Werner, filmmaker & blue planet advocate. She is a National Spearfishing Champion, freediver, chef, artist & entrepreneur.

Imagine falling in love with the ocean. Feeling safe & free & nurtured by something so vast, yet, so intimate. At 5 years old Kimi Werner knew ocean as home. It shaped her spirit for living & reverence for all life.

On the island of Maui, Kimi spent days with family, gathering food from ocean & land, having a magical childhood. Love of ocean & freediving became a path to success, & later a learning - success doesn’t always equal happiness.

“The woman who rode the back of a great white shark” (yes, she did!), mastered something else, too: the power of hearing her own voice.

What is the thread in your life that has stayed central to all you have become? …that litmus test for your true self? It has stories to tell you, in your own voice.
