With Love and Aloha - A Life Coaching Podcast

Episode 61: Liliane Roux – Our Health Is Our Wealth 🎙️✨🤍

 
In this episode, I’m joined by Liliane Roux, a Holistic Wellness Coach and Leadership Executive Coach joining us all the way from Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪🤍
 
Liliane and I worked together many years ago in the tech world in Dublin, and I’ve always admired her journey — stepping away from success in the corporate world to take a leap and build her own health and wellness business, “Healthy Over 50.” (Our paths are incredibly similar, by the way… 😊)
 
In our conversation, we explore the multifaceted nature of leadership — what it means to lead teams, to lead ourselves, and to continually grow in self-awareness and emotional intelligence. We talk about the real challenges of leadership, the importance of resilience and personal growth, and how our health and well-being are foundational to being a strong and steady leader 💛
 
Liliane also shares how caring for her father during health issues as he aged deeply influenced her wellness philosophy and inspired the evolution of her company, “Healthy Over 50.” It’s a powerful reminder that we must be proactive about our health as we grow older, and that investing in our well-being allows us to truly live our best and healthiest lives at any stage 🌿
 
Join us for a thoughtful conversation around leadership, longevity, and wellness — and a grounding reminder that our health is truly our wealth 🤍

Episode 60: The Year of the Fire Horse 🐴🔥 & How Alysa Liu Embodies Its Energy 🥇

As we transition from the Year of the Wood Snake into the Year of the Fire Horse, I wanted to dedicate an episode to this rare once-in-60-year cycle and explore how we can embody and apply these energies to our own growth & happiness 🧡
 
The Wood Snake represents shedding, quiet transformation, and outgrowing what no longer fits 🤍 Snakes shed because they’ve grown, and sometimes evolution is subtle 🐍🌿 Fire Horse energy, on the other hand, is bold, independent, and in motion 🔥🐎 It’s movement that comes from alignment and self-awareness. The transition from one to the other feels like a powerful rebirth of shedding old skin and confidently stepping into the new version of you ✨
 
In this episode, I tie in Alysa Liu, who beautifully embodies Fire Horse energy 🧡 After watching her win gold and learning more about her inspiring journey, I felt moved to include her as a real-life example of what it means to move boldly toward your dreams… and on your own terms🥇✨
 
I also share why Kīlauea feels like a symbol of Fire Horse energy to me 🌋 She doesn’t erupt because she’s watched, she instead moves when she’s ready and on her own terms 🫶🏼🧡
 
Tune in to hear how you can embrace this rare and inspiring year — and how you, too, can move boldly and confidently in a direction that feels true to you 🎧🩵

Episode 59: Enjoying “the Good Old Days” Before You Leave Them 🤍

Today’s episode was inspired by a quote from the show The Office 🤓 “I wish there was a way to know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them.” 
 
We often talk about the good old days as something behind us — moments we only recognize once a season has passed. But what if they’re happening right now?
 
There will be a day when you look back and want to be in this exact moment again — in the same body, with the same health, the same opportunities, and the same people surrounding you 🫶🏼🤍
 
In this episode, I share reflections on presence and what it means to truly live inside a season while it’s unfolding 🪴 I also talk about some of my past “good old days” and understanding of my current time at the volcano — aware that this, too, is incredibly special and can change at any time 🌋🧡And how it could evolve, simply into another “season” that would be different from what I know now. 
 
Tune in for a conversation about presence, gratitude, and recognizing the beauty in both ordinary and extraordinary moments, before they quietly turn into memories 🤍

Episode 57: Leading with Love — How to Choose Love over Fear 💘

With February being the month of love and Valentine’s Day around the corner, I wanted to talk about love 💕 Not as a feeling and the type we think of with romance, but rather as but as a state of being and a daily choice.
 
In this episode, I talk about love and fear states, based on concepts I learned from the book Love Is Letting Go of Fear 📚 🤍 When we become aware of which state we’re operating from, we gain the power to consciously choose love in our thoughts, our actions, and how we show up 🫶🏼
 
When we lead with love, our energy shifts — and that shift ripples outward, positively influencing our relationships, our environment, and the way we experience ourselves.  Leading with love creates more clarity, connection, and ease in all aspects of our lives 🤍
 
Tune in to learn more about how to lead life in a softer, more aligned way with Love 🫶🏼🎧💕

Episode 56: Mamaki Tea 🌿 It’s History & Health Benefits

This episode was inspired by a recent visit to a local farmers market 🌽 🍅 where I met the owner of Kīlauea Tea and learned all about Mamaki tea 🍵
 
Mamaki is endemic to Hawaii, meaning it’s only grown here, and it has a long history of traditional use as a healing tea. 🍵🤍 In this episode, I talk about where māmakī comes from, why it’s so special, and how it’s been used for generations to improve health.
 
Also Mamaki tea can help ease symptoms related to volcanic gases 🌋 (pretty cool! And good to know)
 
Tune in to learn about this unique and special tea 🎧🍵🤍 which is a beautiful reminder of the deep connection between nature, culture, and healing in Hawaii 🌴

🎙️ Episode 55: Dr. Jamela Urban 🤍 Unlocking Holistic Wellness through Functional Medicine 🌿
 
Today I’m joined by the very intelligent Dr. Jamela Urban, tuning in from beautiful Colorado 🏔️ In this episode, Dr. Urban shares about her work as a hospital pharmacist and in her own business in functional medicine, and why it’s so important for our health to look at root causes (rather than symptoms) and the mind-body connection 🧠🩵
 
We talk about gut health, lifestyle choices, and detox practices that can help prevent disease and support a clearer, fuller life ✨ She shares holistic approaches to reducing inflammation, removing toxins, and explains a bit of what’s going on “under the hood” in our bodies 🤍
 
We also discuss mindset and its role in healing — and how, especially in this month of love (February 💕), practicing self-love and bringing intention into all areas of life can truly improve our overall well-being
 
I learned so much from speaking with Dr. Urban, and I hope you do too 🤍 The more we understand how to care for and clear our bodies, the more fulfilling life becomes 🫶🏼💕

Episode 54: Hawaiian Lava Words - Pāhoehoe and ʻāʻā 🌋🖤

In today’s Aloha Friday episode, I would like to teach you a couple of Hawaiian lava words 🖤 pāhoehoe and ʻāʻā are two words used to describe different types of lava - smoothy and billowy vs. rough and jagged 🩶 I find it all incredibly fascinating, and the resulting textures from these flows are all so beautiful in their own unqiue ways.
 
Join me for an episode where I share the origins of the words, characteristics of the lava flows, and what can cause each 🌋

Episode 53: This Is the Youngest You’ll Ever Be 🌿

This episode was inspired by something that was said to me last year that became a mantra. During a conversation with my doctor about timelines to move forward with some health and fertility decisions, she said: “This is the youngest you’ll ever be.”
 
That sentence stayed with me - not just in relation to my body & health, but across so many areas of my life. It became a reminder that time is a finite resource, and that waiting for the “perfect conditions” or “the right time” can mean postponing what matters to you.
 
In this episode, we talk about the imaginary cages we can create of “someday” or “one day” — and how easily we delay joy, presence, and meaning while waiting for more certainty, clarity, or permission.
 
I share different perspectives and simple mindset shifts to help you build a habit of living now - making plans for what truly fulfills you, and choosing what you value instead of postponing it. I always say the best litmus test for being fully present and fulfilled, is when you have a feeling of being truly "alive" 🤍
 
Life is short. Take the trip.  Do what you love.  This is the youngest you’ll ever be.  Tune in to learn how to make the most of your days, and find comfort in letting go of worry about the past or the future 🤍

Episode 52: Our Beautiful Banyans 🌳 History & Fun Facts

I also highlight the Great Banyan in India, covers over 5 acres 😮 (how wild!)
 
Tune in for a little nature history, a little island love, and a gentle reminder of how roots, resilience, and connection shape everything we grow 🌿
