About this episode

Libby Davis shares her journey from being an oyster shucker to the founder of Lady Shuckers, discussing resilience and personal growth along the way.

From the Peace Corps in Madagascar to building one of Maine's most recognized oyster catering brands—this episode goes way deeper than oysters. On this episode of The Oyster Ninja Podcast , I sit down with Libby Davis, founder of Lady Shuckers, to talk about the journey behind the shell: • Getting sober and navigating alcohol & drug abuse • Building an oyster farm and catering business from scratch • Her time in the Peace Corps in Madagascar • Her mother's breast cancer journey and genetic predisposition • Facing the BRCA mutation and choosing a double mastectomy • Identity, top surgery, and finding self-worth • The future vision for Lady Shuckers events This is a conversation about resilience, reinvention, and what it really takes to rebuild your life—personally and professionally. If you're into oysters, entrepreneurship, sobriety journeys, or real unfiltered stories… this one's for you.
