Happy Aloha Monday, my friends. I wanted to take some time to share the meaning and intention behind the name "Aloha Pumehana" as a brand. Obviously, it is my name, but there's a lot of depth and identity behind it. Simply put, Aloha Pumehana wonderfully captures the essence of what we're building together. "Aloha": far more than hello or goodbye. It embodies love, compassion, presence, and the breath of life we share with one another. "Pumehana": means warm-hearted, affectionate, and emotionally connected. Together, "Aloha Pumehana" represents warm-hearted love and genuine connection. I chose this name because our collective is a space where we show up authentically, support each other with open hearts, and create the kind of warm, loving community where everyone belongs. Here, you are seen, valued, and held with aloha pumehana - warm-hearted affection. This is our foundation. This is our gift to each other. 💛 I'm beyond grateful for each and every one of you. Truly. "E kōkua kākou a mālama i kekahi i kekahi." Let us work together to take care of each other.

Aloha, friends! Welcome to the Aloha Pumehana Collective! This is a space for soul-led entrepreneurs who are building businesses and lives that feel deeply aligned with who they are and are becoming. Not by “hustling harder,” but from leaning into the edges of our comfort zone through self-discovery, self-trust, and nervous system regulation. Here, we honor the practices that bring us back home to ourselves: ✨ Exploring the stories and patterns that shape us (IFS-informed parts work) ✨ Reconnecting with our bodies through gentle somatic practices ✨ Strengthening self-trust so our choices feel clear, grounded, and guilt-free This community is meant to feel like your inner circle: tight-knit, supportive, and expansive enough for us to grow side by side. You’ll find honest conversations, helpful resources, and vulnerable experiences that remind you that you’re not alone while doing this work. 💌 To start us off, head back to General Discussion and introduce yourself with a new post: - Who are you + what lights you up? - What called you here? - And because we like to keep it human, what’s your favorite comfort snack? (We celebrate honest self-discovery and snacks equally here 😋) I'm so glad you’re here. Cheers to your growth, my love! 🌱
