The Mana Mama Podcast is for the conversations you’ve had in your head… but never out loud. Hosted by Camilla, this is a space where real women share real stories, lived experiences, and the kind of wisdom that comes from being in it. We talk about motherhood, relationships, identity, healing, boundaries, business, and the in-between seasons of life — the messy, the taboo, the things that feel uncomfortable to say but need to be said. This space isn’t about perfection. It’s about truth, connection, and saying the thing… because when one woman speaks it, another feels seen. Welcome, sis.

    I don’t remember giving birth to my son

    This is the story of becoming a mother… without remembering it. In this deeply personal episode, I share my birth story with my son, the medical trauma that led to me being placed in a coma, and the grief that followed waking up to a life-changing moment I never got to consciously experience. We often speak about birth as beautiful, empowering and unforgettable — but what happens when memory is taken from you? When your body survives something your mind cannot fully access? This episode is about grief, survival, motherhood, trauma and the complicated process of piecing yourself back together after the unimaginable.

    I Had to Stop Seeing Her as My Mother to Heal

    Mother’s Day can hold love, grief, resentment, longing, healing… and everything in between. In this episode, I share the evolution of my relationship with my mother — from pain and expectation to seeing her beyond the role of “mum” and recognising her simply as a woman with her own wounds, limitations and story. This conversation is raw, reflective and honest. Not about pretending everything was okay, but about making peace with complexity, releasing labels and navigating what healing can look like when relationships are strained. For anyone carrying a complicated relationship with their mother, this episode is for you.

    (Archive) Un-Whitewashing My Life: Reclaiming Culture, Identity, and Ancestral Power

    Episode 9 – Coming Home by Camilla Divine "Un-Whitewashing My Life: Reclaiming Culture, Identity, and Ancestral Power" In this deeply personal episode, Camilla Divine reflects on her journey of reclaiming her culture and identity after years of subtly disconnecting from her roots. Growing up surrounded by cultural symbols—shell necklaces, frangipani flowers, and family photos—Camilla found herself losing touch with these elements during her marriage, and for a long time, she blamed her ex-husband, Chris, for not bringing her culture into their home. But through self-reflection, she realized the need to take responsibility for her own disconnection and begin the process of "un-whitewashing" her life. In this episode, Camilla shares the three steps that helped her reconnect with her cultural heritage and ancestors: ​Stop Blaming Others – Take Responsibility: The power of owning your own journey and healing.​Self-Reflection: Regularly checking in with yourself to reconnect with your true wants, beliefs, and purpose.​Connect with Your Ancestors: Drawing strength and wisdom from the ancestral power that is always available to us.​Camilla also explores the idea that knowing a language isn't the only path to understanding your culture. Even without fluency, you can still tap into the strength, support, and wisdom of your ancestors—and in this episode, she reminds us that we never walk alone. Join Camilla as she shares insights into how you can discard what no longer serves you, both externally and internally, and begin to rebuild a home that reflects your authentic self. Listen now to this powerful episode on reconnecting with your cultural roots and reclaiming your ancestral power. Follow Camilla on: www.instagram.com/iamcamilladivine

    (Archive) There Is No Secret Ingredient: Belief, Action, and Empowering Change

    Episode 8 – Coming Home by Camilla Divine There Is No Secret Ingredient: Belief, Action, and Empowering Change   In this powerful episode, we dive into the journey of self-belief, resilience, and the courage to take action. Inspired by the iconic Kung Fu Panda quote, "There is no secret ingredient," we explore the idea that the key to transformation lies within ourselves. Camilla Divine shares her vision of empowering women and girls to speak out about sexual abuse, particularly within Pacific Islander communities, and the importance of fostering courageous conversations about these difficult topics in our families.   My mission is to empower women and girls to share their stories of abuse, reduce sexual abuse in Pacific Islander communities, and raise awareness about recognizing and addressing abuse with care and compassion. Camilla challenges us to reflect on a powerful question: “If you believed you couldn’t fail, what would you do with your life?” Drawing inspiration from the words of Henry Ford, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t, you’re right," she emphasizes how belief in yourself and taking consistent action go hand-in-hand. It’s not about a special "secret ingredient" — it’s about trusting in yourself and taking that first step. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that will inspire you to take action, believe in your own power, and create the change you want to see in the world. Listen now, and remember: There is no secret ingredient. It’s you! Follow Camilla on: www.instagram.com/iamcamilladivine

    (Archive) Letting Go of the Weight of Other People’s Perceptions

    Episode 7 – Coming Home by Camilla Divine Letting Go of the Weight of Other People’s Perceptions In this raw and reflective episode, Camilla Divine shares a personal breakthrough about a sabotaging belief she didn’t realize she was holding onto: that losing weight would make her appear superficial or vain in the eyes of others. For years, she unconsciously held onto her weight as a way to protect herself from judgment, thinking that by staying "bigger," she would be more relatable, more "real," and safer in the eyes of those around her. But what Camilla has learned is that losing weight does not make her superficial. It doesn’t make her any less worthy or authentic. In this episode, she challenges listeners to examine whether they, too, may be holding onto this belief at a subconscious level, and encourages them to let it go. Camilla Divine walks listeners through the process of releasing the need to hold onto weight for the comfort of others, shedding the clothes and beliefs that no longer serve, and embracing their truth with confidence. If you’ve ever felt that your weight or appearance has held you back from fully embracing who you are, this episode is a powerful reminder that it’s time to release the weight of other people’s perceptions and come home to yourself.

    Episode 6 – Coming Home by Camilla Divine Reclaiming Your Power: Stop Chasing Approval and Ask, "Do I Like Them?" How often do you catch yourself wondering if someone likes you? Whether it's a friend, a romantic partner, or someone you're just getting to know, it’s easy to get caught in the cycle of seeking external approval. In this episode, Camilla Divine challenges this habit of constantly wondering if others like us and invites listeners to flip the script by asking, "Do I like them?" Camilla explores how we often replay conversations, wishing we’d said something differently or acted in a different way. But, as she reminds us, what’s done is done. Letting go of the need for validation is incredibly freeing, and shifting the focus from seeking approval to asking ourselves what we truly feel is a powerful way to reclaim our sense of self. In this episode, Camilla encourages listeners to break free from the constant pursuit of external validation and instead start making decisions based on their own preferences, desires, and feelings. It’s time to stop asking, “Do they like me?” and start asking, “Do I like them?” Tune in to discover how stepping into your own power can transform the way you navigate relationships and decisions.
