Wrong Side of the Bed

I never understood this saying until recently. It’s when I wake up grumpy and then I just can’t kick it the rest of the day. It’s awful. And it can happen to all of us. You’ll get the saying at a whole new level too, if it happens to you. When it happens, treating my husband, kids and family with kindness 24/7 becomes a tougher task. And bringing two kids into our family...

God is the Ultimate Overcomer

I really love this verse! Reflecting on this verse today has me thinking about life. As we all know, or come to discover at some point, life isn’t easy and it can often feel really hard. We are going to experience tough times. Some times are harder than others. That’s just part of life, but as Jesus has said, “take heart! I have overcome the world.” In overcoming the world Jesus...

A Mindful Approach to Skincare

When I was a teen, I used some skincare products that I didn’t realize had crazy harsh ingredients that are actually not safe for our bodies. A few years later I started going to a holistic healthcare clinic (about 12 or so years ago) and they began to educate me on the fact that pretty much everything we put ON our bodies goes IN our bodies. I heard about a study that showed that many...

My Skincare Routine

The skincare products I’ve been loving right now… I really have been loving BioClarity. I’ve been using their Essentials Routine for a year now and I feel like it’s helped my skin a lot – making it look more even. I also use their Clarifying Masque about once a month. If I wear makeup or sunscreen, I like just a good-ole coconut oil to remove it. I also like to use...

Only One

It’s just so easy to get caught up, wrapped up, and tangled up in the endless to-do lists and demands of life. Do we need to do all of the things we are doing? Can we slow down and have a more reasonable pace of life? What is most valuable to me and is that a part of my daily life as it should be? Luke 10:41, “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things...

​Keiki Days with Alana

Alana and I have always had the type of friendship that allowed us to push each other. And when we applied that to our time together in the water, we pushed one another all the way to the pro surfing level we are both at today. Our memories together are endless. From elementary school talent shows to traveling around the world, we have had so much fun together over the years!

Braving the Wild: Camping With the Kiddos

Growing up I have countless memories exploring and enjoying Hawaii with my rad, adventurous parents and brothers. Sleeping bags straight on the beach – and you’ve got a home under the stars! Adam grew up camping with his family too, so naturally we wanted the same for our family. Despite their young ages, 3 and 1, we head out into the wild with excitement… and supplies!

Step 7: Reinforce and Share

Woohoo! You made it here! A new belief installed and a harmful one behind you. While we have taken some majorly positive steps, know that the old of thinking WILL sneak up on you again. So stay alert, and notice when it creeps back in so you can adjust it. Let’s also practice reinforcing the new belief! Strengthen it! Here are 2 key ways: Reinforce it by constantly reminding yourself of the...

Step 6: Decide

We are with you! You have a new mindset you’ve defined. And now you have to decide, will you hold onto the self-doubt and endure the cost to avoid the hard work of changing your belief? Or will you take a step toward living Unstoppable? For me this looked like believing that surfing with one arm was possible– even when it was hard – and sticking to that mindset. As I stepped into the...
