What changes when you stop approaching yourself as something broken? Hawaiian cultural practitioner Ramsay Taum shares a different starting point: relationship, responsibility, and the practice of making things right.

Ramsay joins me to explore Ho'oponopono, mana, and the wisdom passed down through elders. This conversation reaches beyond a familiar four-phrase formula into a living cultural tradition, with attention to language, community, and the way we meet one another.

IN THIS CONVERSATION
• Ho'oponopono as a practice of restoring relationship
• Why Ramsay speaks about people as whole, rather than broken
• Mana, intention, and responsibility in Hawaiian tradition
• What elders teach through the way they live
• Bringing presence and reciprocity into ordinary moments

Listen for the shift from asking “What is wrong with me?” to considering what needs attention in your relationships with yourself, others, and the world.
