DWM S8 | Ep 1: In dating, how does a lack of boundaries invite a lack of respect as a dater and a date, It is a time for understanding who you are and why it all needs to be paid attention to.

MANA BOMB: Master self. Control where your attention goes & value what you give energy to. FOCUS: Focus on the good stuff. ENGAGEMENT: One subject I disliked was math, until I could finally make sense of it. Life Math looks like what you put in is what you get out. What are your thoughts on that? Should it be equal or more? So much to learn about ones self when learning about mastering ones SELF. Many times we focus on the wrong things and we end up staying in that state of mind. Reroute your minds highway so you can navigate and move forward. Manifest strength and motivation in order to grow daily. YOU can do this! WE can do this!

MANA BOMB: Once you deeply understand impermanence, you appreciate more & let go easier. FOCUS: UNstuck yourself ENGAGEMENT: At what point did we feel like everything is life and death, that that's how we feel about everything? In an effort to grow and learn from our failures, mistakes and traumas, letʻs look at the definition of impermanence, which is: "the state or fact of lasting for only a limited period of time" as being a guide to knowing that failures bring about lessons that turn into daily motivation and life changes that allow us growth and the opportunity to "UNstuck" ourselves from whatever is sticky. Learn from these experiences so it weighs you down no more.

Dating and the most important person in your life. YOU Remember to do what is best for you, date yourself so your worth can be revered to you.

Let your actions meet your words on the road to success. Listen in on how the ladies talk about experiencing no pain, no gain and why itʻs important to acknowledge and go through the strain and stick it out!!!

DWM 7 || 8: Dating and music. Letʻs talk about music and dating. How important is music to you in a relationship? Music is a very special tool for me when it comes to mood setting, reflection, and preparation for a dates too.  No matter what your music of choice is, we know it connects us through rhythm and lyrics. Do you use music to connect with others? Is it important when attempting connection and expressing ones self? How has music affected you when it comes to dating?  Music is an exploration of oneself and of others, listen in to how music is a part of our lives.

MANA BOMB: Sheʻs not just a pretty face & She will never be! FOCUS: Self Love ENGAGEMENT: How far have surface-level interactions taken you? Has it worked? So many times we forget how to be grateful and appreciate what we are afforded in this human experience. Be kind to yourself and be you always so you never have to deal with shallow feels, when all you deserve is the best you offer out from self. If theres one thing I learned from sitting in this mana bomb session, it was to honor and appreciate with aloha always because you should always add value not deplete it from its source. Self love can take you deeper than most, but you have to be willing and able to sit in, process and feel every step of the venture. YOU CAN DO IT. Just donʻt avoid real and true feelings around you. Stay and fight, your ola depends on it! Donʻt be just a pretty face...me ke aloha.

DWM 7 || 7: Is religion a deal breaker? Does religion play a role in how you choose to date a person? What role does religion play in your relationship?  Would having two different religious beliefs be a red flag or a deal breaker for you? Today we have a quick discussion on the effects of religion in relationships. Have you been faced with this kind of situation where religion played a large role in the choices you had to make? What was the outcome? For those who havenʻt experienced a relationship with someone not of the same religion, how has your relationship benefitted or been compromised? Inquiring minds want to know, but you can listen in to Kanoe and Kulaniʻs experiences with religion and relationships.

MANA BOMB: Your mind & voice are powerful. Start speaking positive into your life. Shift the way you think & speak. FOCUS: Negative Nancy ENGAGEMENT: Imagine vs making things happen. Let's check out the Mana Bomb on IG @pomahinadesigns Itʻs about shifting for the purpose you seek. Takes a few specific instructions, but once you crack the code, itʻs all upwards from there!!! Again, BE THE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE!!! YOU Matter!

DWM || 7.6: Dating and Questions for the single person dating. Thanks to @MrHoward365 for providing questions to really think about as a single person dating today. Our podcast today has both Kanoe and Kulani answering these questions based on their right now. Listen in and when you have time, answer these same questions for yourself! They really make you think! 1. When are you your most happy? 2. How good do you believe that you are at making up and moving on? 3. What do you think is the hardest part about dating? 4. What tools or mindsets have you used to be independent or survive that might get in the way of being in a successful relationship with a partner? 5. What percentage of your happiness is a partner responsible for?

MANA BOMB: Appreciation, Reciprocation, and Communication are forms of value. FOCUS: Humility ENGAGEMENT: What are the sacrifices we make and the offerings? With all these things come experience. Appreciate those who show you love and aloha. Reciprocate the aloha with those who share with you consistently, and communicate with those who effectively communicate with you. These are the things necessary to live a full and eventful life. Lead by example, share and do these thigns with those who share and relate to you. In the end, your life is a meaningful excursion of aloha and kindness and the best kind of field trip ever!

DWM 7.5: Dating and Merrie Monarch We are asking a question before we get into the talk story today… Question: What brightens your day? Weʻll talk story with Kulani because inquiring minds wanna know... Did she? Did she not?? Listen in to what happened at the Merrie Monarch and if she seen and spoke to her crush. Next, letʻs catch up with Kanoe and her Merrie Monarch experience while allowing herself to be open to dating in todayʻs time.

MANA BOMB: Effort is reciprocal if it is one-sided it is time to let the effort go. FOCUS: Currency ENGAGEMENT: What does it mean to put no effort into something? Is it specific to a certain context or generalized all the way across your board? Time, Energy, Money + Currency. How and whom you share your currency with, will give clue as to how you care for yourself and your people. Be intentional when it comes to spending time and make every effort to reciprocate the efforts of those whom you desire to interact with. Its a beautiful song and dance that speaks volumes, because effort is reciprocal. If it is one-sided, its time to let the EFFort go. Be the change you want to see in the world.

MANA BOMB: No be “Lose Money” FOCUS: Added value ENGAGEMENT: Do we add value or consume the value or mana of others, how do we know? Added value is a thing. If we donʻt know how to add value to our own lives, how can we expect ourselves to add value to others. Kanoe discusses how the tier system works and why we shouldnʻt be considering tier 3 an option. Also the discussion turns to being accountable for your actions more than your words. This week is Merrie Monarch, so catch us at Civic Center and Sangha Hall. Be the action you wish to see in the world.

DWM Seaeon 7 | Ep 3: Dating Potentiality. I follow @MrHoward365 on IG.  He is a content creator who does singles and couples game nights and facilitates conversations about dating. He also offers up a myriad of questions about dating and this one made me think a little bit.  THE QUESTION: What does someone potentially benefit from being in a relationship with you? Listen in to Kanoe and I talk about the impact this question has on us and where we end up with our own answers to the query.

MANA BOMB: Be real, not perfect, when you're authentic life becomes effortless FOCUS: Peace & Harmony ENGAGEMENT: What does effortlessness look like? What is real? How do we know? Tell the truth. This is the authentic YOU that should not be afraid of hurting or being hurt because the truth sets us free. Listen in for understanding. Me ka mahalo aloha, with thanksgiving, Aloha.

MANA BOMB: Enough being the “go to” to those you can't “go to” FOCUS: Reciprocity ENGAGEMENT: If we looked at this concept: "value to value" what does that mean? If you were to be sold in a store, what is the worth and why? Relationships, Friendship, Business, Work To define your value is one thing, to be defined by another's value is another, but to be defined in full community (inside/outside through your personal proof and validation) that value may be used as a tool to help get you further in goals, life, and choices that you make.
