For years, I was smiling on the outside but hurting on the inside. My smile was something I tried to hide, and along with it, my self-esteem. In this episode, I’m opening up about my backstory — growing up with a smile I felt ashamed of, the insecurities that came with it, and what led me to finally begin the journey of changing it.

This isn’t just about teeth — it’s a...

In this episode, I’m talking story about one of the biggest parenting choices I’ve made so far — not giving my kids a cell phone (yet). 📵 As a mom, I’ve seen the pressures, distractions, and behaviors that can come with phones, and I’m learning how to set boundaries that actually help my kids grow.

I’m not here to say what every parent should do — just sharing my own ...

Have you ever felt like you had to hold it all together — until suddenly you realized you couldn’t?

In this episode, I share a deeply personal story about a week when I thought I was “fine” managing everything alone… until I found myself overwhelmed and lonely. In that quiet, raw moment, God met me with one powerful word: sovereign.

We’ll talk about what God’s sovereign...

Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle? The same argument, the same tension, the same heavy feelings that show up over and over again?

In this episode of The Faith & Aloha Show, I’m opening up about a pattern in my marriage with Danny that’s repeated for years — especially before he left for work trips. Every time, there would be tension, fighting, and a heaviness tha...

Take two! My apologies upload the wrong audio file lol I promise this is the correct one now.

In today’s episode, I’m just talking story. No big message — just me sharing what’s been on my mind lately. I talk about our recent beach day and how I prayed through some of my fears, especially when I feel like God is calling me into things that scare me.

Let’s be real — comfort feels good.

But sometimes, the very thing that feels safe is the same thing keeping us stuck.

In this episode, I’m opening up about how comfort became my hiding place… and how God had to lovingly pull me out of it so I could grow.

Because growth? It’s not always loud or obvious — sometimes it shows up in the stretch, in the quiet tension of obedie...

Have you ever been told you’re too much? Too loud, too bossy, too assertive?

Growing up, I was often labeled that way — and for a long time, I believed it. I learned to shrink parts of myself just to keep the peace.

But recently, something shifted. A moment with my principal — a comment I would’ve once taken as criticism — made me pause… and smile. Because maybe the tra...

In this episode of The Faith & Aloha Show, I’m sharing what it l...

You finally said yes. You stepped out in obedience. You moved forward in faith…

So why does it feel so quiet now?

In this episode of The Faith & Aloha Show, I’m opening up about the unexpected silence I felt after stepping into what I knew God was calling me to.

Transitions can look like blessings on the outside — but still feel heavy on the inside. In this episode of The Faith & Aloha Show, I’m sharing how God is teaching me to find joy, not in the ease of the season, but in the endurance He’s building through it.

We’re digging into James 1:2-4 and what it really means to count it all joy — even when you’re stretched, tir...
