A Conversation with Colleen Clifford, Author and Health/Alcohol-Free Coach

"One binge drinking moment can end a life," Colleen Clifford says.  "Will it be yours?" Colleen is a former binge drinker who knows the struggle firsthand.  For 34 years, she's worked as a commercial fisherwoman, a lifestyle that fueled the drinking pattern of denial she now calls the 95-5 factor.  After losing her husband to an alcohol-related suicide in 2011 and later finding her own path from binge drinking to joy and freedom, Colleen turned her pain into purpose. Her upcoming book, Life Beyond the Binge, blends raw honesty, lived experience and eye-opening facts and insights for anyone ready to break free from destructive cycles. Through her compelling stories of resilience and renewal, Colleen inspires others to discover that it's never too late to change -- and to find joy and meaning beyond the binge.

A commercial fisherwoman in Alaska’s Bering Sea turned health coach, Colleen now helps women break free from cravings, binge habits and destructive patterns—guiding them to build a stronger, healthier relationship with themselves, inside and out. From her year of culinary training in Paris to surviving some of the harshest seas, she shares real stories, science-backed strategies and practical tools that help women navigate cravings, emotional eating and redefine what’s possible at any stage of life. This conversation will leave you motivated, empowered and ready to make real change.
