Siena was introduced to flower essences back in the 1990âs; they were recommended to her to help reduce stress. They were so effective that she began making blends for other people to use. In this episode, we chat about the basics of flower essences. Even though theyâve been around since the 1930âs, what they are and how theyâre used are not exactly common knowledge in the mainstream. So hereâs our casual primer on flower essences.

Read MoreEveryone has an idea of what âHoliday Stressâ means. How can the holidays be such an attractive and enchanting time, and such a stressful time, at the same time? In this episode, we have some good laughs while observing the ways we humans manage to stress ourselves out over (and even because of) what a wonderful time of the year the holidays can be.
Read MoreIn this episode, we share real, personal âghost momentsâ that have happened in our lives. Well. Mostly in Sienaâs life. Siena is very sensitive to the non-tangible realm, probably because of her family line, and the nature of their family history. In fact, the culture in her family was such that these âghost momentsâ were treated as normal! Listen and youâll see!
Read MoreA fun and spunky convo for Halloween season, with special only-in-Hawaii memories and hijinks.

Read MoreWe spend the whole episode just âtalking storyâ (thatâs a Hawaii-ism) about things we miss, or appreciate about this very special archipelagoâŚHawaiiâŚour original island home.
Read MoreFrom what we can tell, a "miracle" has something to do with Decisions, and how deeply you feel them. Conviction. Seriousness of intent and depth of commitment. Maybe something about that kind of decision flips a switch in your brain that changes the way you see things. But maybe it also somehow spookily influences the external world around you, nudging things onto your path. It's probably both, since this reality is after all, all One Reality. In this episode, we share how and why we've come to this point of view. And we encourage you to remember that success is about making these decisions again and again and again.
Read MoreIn this episode, we happily yak about munchies and snacking while we actually do some munching and snacking.

Come for the references to small kid time, back in the old school Hawaii days, stay for the inspiration to make healthier eating choices and habits.
Read MoreNo offense to kids, but itâs nice to be able to enjoy the museum without them sometimes. In this episode, we share our surprise and delight at how many lesbians we noticed at one of our date night excursions: OMSI After Dark. OMSI is a science museum in Portland, Oregon. It was a nerdy night out! And Siena got to pet a reptile.
Read MoreIn this episode, we get real and name the problem with trying to form new habits or stop old ones: Itâs hard!

And how you can accurately re-frame this discomfort to your advantage.
Read MoreToast goes off on why she thought it was really dumb advice to "act as if," when attempting to change your money paradigm. And then we talk about what "acting as if" REALLY entails.

Read MoreHere's a fun free-ranging chat about how and why your imagination is a spiritual technology. We talk about building bridges (literal bridges), zombies (figurative zombies), and how Siena dealt with freaking and flipping out with nervousness before going on stage to sing.
Read MoreThis is a reminder that you are in charge of you, and of your experience of life. Even The Declaration of Independence talks about your right â your duty â to not allow yourself to be reduced as a human being. Join us for a pep talk of what you might 'already know.' But, just like brushing your teeth, we all need to keep up with regular maintenance of cleaning out the grime that can get into our mind and thinking!
Read MoreIn this episode, we make the argument that, far from being a self-indulgent or frivolous thing, working on yourself is actually a moral duty, and at the very core of being a responsible member of society. Siena tells a Hawaii-related story involving shoyu (soy sauce) packets and hashi (chopsticks) to help illustrate. And we also invoke the words of Jesus to "whoop whoop whoop."
