COMING HOME · Aloha friends, this episode is for all this listeners who requested that I speak more about my life. I appreciate your feedback so much. In this conversation, the microphone is turned around, and I become the interviewee. A special mahalo to my friend, Love Chance, for being such a thoughtful and intentional interviewer, creating the space for me to share my own unfolding story. We meander through my path of reconnecting to my many ideas of home, what it was like growing up within the Hawaiian diaspora, navigating health challenges, discovering joy through meaningful relationships (and podcasting), and embracing vulnerability that comes with being "broken open." My hope is that this episode is a reflection on listening to your heart as you explore your own purpose, identity and intuition.
