He's vaxxed while I'm not but we are both proof that real friendships can survive polarizing political ideals and differences and this podcast shows what those types of conversations might sound like and are happy medium is that what you put in or take out of your body should always be a personal choice.

Teaching Hawaii's keiki to walk their talk.Recently Big Island teacher of the year was forced to resign because of her decision to stand firm in her beliefs. Trish opted to get tested weekly at the time of this podcast because she also believes that it should be up to the person what goes into their bodies and no government agency or job should play a part in that decision. 

This discussion was not only my longest podcast to date but also a must listen for people moving to Hawaii or that just want to understand the generational trauma Hawaiians have had to endure. We also talked about that looming question for people interested in helping out not only the movement but the understanding of the statement “Am I hawaiian enough”. You are but what's your intention? Mahalos to these two mana Wahines for sharing your knowledge and time with me. @mauli.ola & @holani.k ❤️❤️

Today I had the honor of interviewing @voteformichelle. A woman who served in the military, until a horrific accident ended her career and led to her honorable discharge. After being prescribed over 20 different pharmaceutical drugs, per day for her injuries, Michelle decided to do her own research. In doing so, she discovered that engaging in the use of cannabis would be a healthier route to take. Til this day, she champions for the cause. After losing her husband to suicide caused by post traumatic stress disorder, Michelle decided to really emphasize the importance and effectiveness of cannabis. For years she has been trying to convince legislators to legalize cannabis in Hawai’i so that others battling PTSD would have legal access to cannabis and not have to experience what she had gone through.
