Today I want to talk about a concept I've been thinking about through my volcano chasing experiences 🌋 It's a lesson that applies to every area of life: Success rewards the persistent and the patient.

Very rarely does success come right away. More often, it comes through repetition, learning, refining, and eventually getting it right ✨

In this episode, I share a story from my high school field hockey days 🏑 where I first learned this lesson 🤍 It's something I've carried with me ever since. As a left-handed athlete learning with right-handed equipment, it took countless attempts to learn how to properly hit the ball. Then one day... everything just clicked ✨ From that moment on, success became much more consistent because the fundamentals had finally fallen into place.

It's a fun story too, btw! I was actually being coached by an Olympian who decided to take me under her wing - and she had me practice the same hit over... and over... and over again. Looking back, I don't think I would have understood the true value of persistence without her and that experience. Nor would I have been out in a field for so long just hitting the ball.

I also relate this concept to volcano chasing 🌋 You can't force an eruption, you simply keep putting yourself in the right position. Every trip teaches you something, and every attempt increases your chances of being there when the magic happens ✨

Join me for a fun story from my past that serves as a reminder to be patient ⏳, keep refining your craft 🎯, and trust that your persistence will pay off. Sometimes, success is simply reserved for those who are willing to keep showing up 🤍

Today, I have a sealy Aloha Friday episode for you! 🦭🌺

This one was inspired by all the adorable and hilarious seals that have been stealing the show on the internet 🤍 I’ve particularly been very entertained by eil the Seal in Tasmania, Australia 🦭He makes me laugh so much 😆

In this episode, I teach you how to say "seal" in Hawaiian, share some fun facts about our local Hawaiian monk seals, and talk about a few of our famous seal celebrities, including Rocky on Oʻahu, Lani on Maui, and of course, Neil the Seal from Tasmania 🤍🩵

Tune in for a feel-good, sealy Aloha Friday to ease into your weekend with a smile 🦭

How do you know what the "right" decision is?

Well, here's the beautiful thing—the answer is often much simpler than we think 🩵It already exists within you 🩵

In this episode, I dive into a topic that often holds many of us back: trusting ourselves to make the choice that's right for us 🤍

The truth is, no one knows what will feel the most aligned or bring you the greatest sense of fulfillment better than you.

I share how I learned this through my creative pursuits like animation, art, and writing. As a creator, there isn't a blueprint for finding your unique style or voice🎙️ You gather inspiration, learn from others, experiment, and ultimately trust yourself to make the creative choices that feel right. No one else can tell you exactly how to create your art 🎨 📸 📚

Life is no different. No one can tell you exactly how to build the life that will be the most meaningful or fulfilling for you. Others can offer wisdom, perspectives, and inspiration, but when it comes to the biggest decisions, you have to trust your own heart, your own intuition, and your own path.

Your life is your greatest creative project. Listen to others, remain curious, and gather wisdom 💡 But never forget to listen to yourself.

Because no one knows what's truly best for your life more than you do 🫶🏼🤍
