For today’s Aloha Friday episode, we are going to talk about our wonderful and beloved honu 🐢✨

“Honu” means sea turtle in Hawaiian, and in this episode, I share what they represent here in the islands — from their meanings in Hawaiian culture to their symbolism of wisdom, strength, and resilience 🤍

I also touch on my own experiences volunteering in sea turtle conservation efforts, and how much care and intention goes into protecting these beautiful creatures in the islands 🌊

I always say the honu are my spirit animal… they carry this peaceful, “go with the flow” energy, while also embodying a quiet strength and wisdom that we can all learn from 🩵🐢

Today’s episode was inspired by a movie I saw the other night, Project Hail Mary. It’s a fun, well-written story about a middle school teacher, played by Ryan Gosling, who unexpectedly finds himself on a solo mission in space to save the sun and humanity.

Along the way, he meets an alien friend, Rocky, and the two form the most unlikely (and honestly adorable) bond through a shared mission and purpose 🫶🏼✨

In watching this movie, I realized there were a couple of beautiful themes I wanted to speak to:

1)Connection isn’t about speaking the same language, but rather about alignment in energies, values, and shared goals 🤍

2)We sometimes underestimate ourselves—and what becomes possible when we step into moments that ask more of us than we think we’re capable of ✨

In this episode, I talk about how alignment is everything, and how their bond was built through shared timing, purpose, and a mutual openness to one another. We explore how curiosity, on both sides, allowed that connection to grow into something meaningful 🤍

And we talk about how sometimes, the only thing holding us back from achieving more… is ourselves. Because sometimes, the version of you that can handle it simply hasn’t been called forward yet 🩵

It’s a wonderful movie by the way :) I highly recommend it! It’s also a book, so that may be worth checking out if you’re a reader 📚✨

For today’s Aloha Friday episode, I’m going to teach you about the word “Kūlia” 🌺 Kūlia means to strive, to persevere, to keep going ✨

It feels like the right word for this week, with the weather we’ve been experiencing here in Hawaiʻi, with all the rain, flooding, and cleanup 🌴🌧️

Kūlia is about continuing on, one step at a time, even when things feel uncertain. It’s a grounded, steady way of taking things as they come 🙏

And we see this concept in nature. After a storm, the land doesn’t rush to fix itself. The beaches slowly reshape and restore. The water clears over time. Birds return to their trees. Everything continues, just at its own pace 🌱

Tune in for a gentle reminder to take things in stride, and that one step at a time, especially in times of uncertainty, is simply enough 🩵
