With Love and Aloha - A Life Coaching Podcast

As we transition from the Year of the Wood Snake into the Year of the Fire Horse, I wanted to dedicate an episode to this rare once-in-60-year cycle and explore how we can embody and apply these energies to our own growth & happiness 🧡

The Wood Snake represents shedding, quiet transformation, and outgrowing what no longer fits 🤍 Snakes shed because they’ve grown, and sometimes evolu...

Today’s episode was inspired by a quote from the show The Office 🤓 “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.” 

We often talk about the good old days as something behind us — moments we only recognize once a season has passed. But what if they’re happening right now?

There will be a day when you look back an...

With February being the month of love and Valentine’s Day around the corner, I wanted to talk about love 💕 Not as a feeling and the type we think of with romance, but rather as but as a state of being and a daily choice.

In this episode, I talk about love and fear states, based on concepts I learned from the book Love Is Letting Go of Fear 📚 🤍 When we become aware of which state we’re ...

This episode was inspired by a recent visit to a local farmers market 🌽 🍅 where I met the owner of Kīlauea Tea and learned all about Mamaki tea 🍵

Mamaki is endemic to Hawaii, meaning it’s only grown here, and it has a long history of traditional use as a healing tea. 🍵🤍 In this episode, I talk about where māmakī comes from, why it’s so special, and how it’s been used for generations ...

In today’s Aloha Friday episode, I would like to teach you a couple of Hawaiian lava words 🖤 pāhoehoe and ʻāʻā are two words used to describe different types of lava - smoothy and billowy vs. rough and jagged 🩶 I find it all incredibly fascinating, and the resulting textures from these flows are all so beautiful in their own unqiue ways.

Join me for an episode where I share the origins ...

This episode was inspired by something that was said to me last year that became a mantra. During a conversation with my doctor about timelines to move forward with some health and fertility decisions, she said: “This is the youngest you’ll ever be.”

That sentence stayed with me - not just in relation to my body & health, but across so many areas of my life. It became a reminder that ...

This Aloha Friday marks Episode 50 🎉, and in this episode I’m sharing one of my favorite Hawaiian words and concepts: Lokahi.  A word that teaches us about harmony, unity, and alignment.

I tie this idea into "Aloha," because Aloha is more than a word, it's a way of life. A way of moving through the world with respect, presence, balance, and care for ourselves, others, and the land. Lokahi holds similar values and reminds us that h...

In this episode, we explore one of my favorite concepts I often teach my clients: Balance and the Yin & Yangs of life ☯️✨

Yin & Yang reminds us that balance isn’t about perfection—it’s about harmony and responding to the ebbs and flows of life 🌊 We need both. However, when we lean too heavily into one side, we can feel disconnected or out of sync. True fulfillment comes from allowing both energies to coexist and support on...

In today’s Aloha Friday episode, I’m going to teach you about our Hawaiian Snow Goddess, Poli’ahu 🩵

Some strength arrives quietly, like snow blanketing the mountain. In a land known for fire, lava, and creation, Poliʻahu represents a different kind of power - one rooted in stillness, restraint, and balance. Her presence reminds us that not all strength erupts.
