In this episode, titled “Anchored in Advocacy: How Capt. Kelly Gordon is Making Mental Health Matter,” we delve into the inspiring journey of Captain Kelly J. Gordon. Growing up on a farm in small-town Indiana, Kelly’s thirst for adventure led her from academia, where she served as a chemistry professor, to the helm of superyachts as an accomplished captain. Beyond her maritime achievements, Kelly is a passionate advocate for mental health within the yachting community. In 2024, she founded Yachtie Minds Matter™, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing mental health therapy funding and resources for yacht crew and shoreside support staff. Join us as Captain Kelly shares her personal experiences, the challenges she has faced, and her mission to create a supportive environment for all seafarers.
