In this powerful and insightful episode, Cherise Reedman sits down with Manda Beaver, whose journey from remote nursing to the world of yachting has been anything but ordinary. Drawing from her extensive experience in both fields, Manda sheds light on the evolving landscape of medical training at sea, and the urgent need for psychological preparedness among crew members.
They dive into the reality of health emergencies on board, what support systems are currently lacking, and how crew—particularly women—often find themselves navigating these challenges with limited resources. Manda opens up about the emotional weight of being the go-to medical support in isolated environments, and why improving mental health training is no longer optional—it's essential.
With a strong passion for marine medicine and crew wellbeing, Manda is on a mission to champion better support systems and education across the industry. This is an episode for anyone passionate about safety, care, and the unseen responsibilities that crew members shoulder at sea.
