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 harmony itself can also be a way of life.

Lokahi teaches us that harmony doesn’t mean perfection. It means allowing different energies to coexist — fire and ice, rest and action, strength and softness — and still work together 🩵

And for any video game fans 🎮, you might recognize the symbol of Lokahi from "The Legend of Zelda", where it represents balance, unity, and wholeness in another form.

May this episode invite you back into alignment as you head into the weekend. Happy Aloha Friday, friends 🫶🏼🤍

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 one another 🤍

We begin with a brief look at the history of the Yin & Yang concept, exploring its ancient roots and the wisdom behind this timeless philosophy 🕯️📜 From there, we dive into the dance between opposite forces - rest and action, softness and strength, intuition and intention ⚖️ We also talk about feminine and masculine energy, and why honoring both is essential for a happy, fulfilling, and aligned life ✨

Tune in for a conversation that helps you notice where your energy wants to recalibrate—and how rebalancing can bring more ease, clarity, and joy into your life 🌿💫

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.

In this episode, we explore the lore and meaning of Poliʻahu, including the deeper significance of her name, which translates as “the embrace of snow.” Through her story and her contrast with Pele, tune in as I share the Hawaiian lore and reflect on what it means to have power in stillness 🫶🏼 🤍
