Aloha mai kākou, friends! 🌺 Welcome back to the Moana Nui Podcast and our empowering mana bomb segment. Today, we're diving deep into the world of expectations and the inevitable disappointment they often bring. Whether it's expecting others to act a certain way or setting impossibly high standards for ourselves, we're all guilty of it. As someone who battles with perfectionism, I totally get it!

Join us as Kanoelani Davis shares the wisdom and manaʻo that has guided her through life's challenges. We explore the impact of expectations on our mental health and relationships, and how shifting from expectations to acceptance can open up a world of possibilities. It's all about communication, understanding, and letting go of what we can't control.

Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that touches on everything from family dynamics and work partnerships to the pressures of being an overachiever. Let's learn to embrace our kuleana, accept what is, and move forward with an open heart and mind. 🌈

Mahalo for joining us on this journey. Remember, you're not alone in this. Let's keep the mana flowing and continue to grow together. Until next time, a hui hou! 🤙
