- Aloha: More Than a Greeting
Alex and Jordan go deeper into the most famous word in the Hawaiian language, and the one most likely to be misunderstood: aloha. In the Hawaiian dictionary by Mary Kawena Pukui and Samuel Elbert, aloha is love, affection, compassion, mercy, sympathy, kindness, and grace, and the word itself…
- Lokahi: Living in Balance
Alex and Jordan explore lokahi, the Native Hawaiian value of unity and harmony — to obtain oneness — through the triangle of spirit, land, and people, the Aloha Spirit law, and a coaching conversation with Rosa, a coach and caregiver who learns balance means feeding the starving side of her…
- Mana: The Power You Carry Inside You
Alex and Jordan explore mana, the Native Hawaiian value of power as living authority — inherited and earned, grown by kept promises and service — through the story of Maui slowing the sun and a coaching conversation with Sam, a team lead who learns his power is in his word, not his volume.
- Aloha: The Philosophy and the 14 Principles
Harbor welcomes Lenka onto her own podcast for a first: a conversation about Aloha, the philosophy and the fourteen principles, from her new guide. Together they walk through the five teachings inside the word Aloha — Akahai, Lokahi, Oluolu, Haahaa, Ahonui — and the values of Pua Ola, the blooming…
- Mana: A Candle, Not a Wall
Alex and Jordan welcome guest Layla, who cared for her mother full-time for six years, for a conversation about mana — not as a wall you hold up, but as a candle you tend. Together they ask: who taught you that your strength only counts when it is spent on someone else? Layla shares three practice…
- Malama Aina: Tending the Ground You Stand On
Alex and Jordan explore malama aina, the Native Hawaiian value of reciprocal care for the land, through the mountain-to-sea ahupuaa system and a burned-out coach who learns to tend one small patch of ground. Key points: malama aina as reciprocal care — the land feeds you, so you feed it back; the…
- Ohana: Belonging That Holds You
Alex and Jordan go deeper into another value from the Pua Ola framework: ohana. In Native Hawaiian understanding, ohana means family, but wider than blood: those who grow from the same root, from oha, the offshoots of the kalo plant. Through the tradition of hanai, a client torn between the family…
- Kuleana: Carrying Only What Is Yours
Alex and Jordan go deeper into kuleana — in Native Hawaiian understanding, responsibility as a right, a privilege, and a reciprocal relationship, not just a task list. A coaching conversation with a coach who over-carries her clients, the ahupuaa mountain-to-sea image of everyone tending their own…
- Making Things Right: Hooponopono in a Real Coaching Conversation
Alex and Jordan go deeper into hooponopono, the Native Hawaiian practice of making things right, inside a real coaching conversation: owning your own part without blame, clearing inwardly with the four phrases, choosing one concrete repair, and closing with care. Forgiveness is never forced — and…
- Right Relationship: Pono, Aloha, Lokahi, and Malama
Welcome to the pilot episode of Life Coaching, Hawaiian Style, the Royal Lei podcast with Lenka John. What actually makes coaching 'Hawaiian style'? Alex and Jordan explore four foundational Hawaiian values — pono (right relationship), lokahi (unity), aloha (presence and breath), and malama (care…
