004: New Book Launch, Birthday, 11th Anniversary and Coming Out of a Spiritual Closet

Hey there, welcome to my little corner of the universe, where we delve deep into the realms of beauty, pleasure, and joy in the body. I'm absolutely thrilled to have you join me on this sacred journey from skin to spirit. So, pull up a chair, grab your favorite cup of tea, and let's dive in together.

Mahalo's Birthday Celebration: Grounded and Free (00:24)
Ah, Mahalo. It's that time of year again, and we're celebrating big. It's not just any birthday—it's Mahalo's birthday, a time to ground ourselves, to be free, and to indulge in a little celebration. Picture this: a cozy room, the gentle patter of rain outside, and me, savoring a delicious chocolate cake. Oh, and did I mention it's my birthday too? Yep, I'm welcoming my 40s with open arms.

Following My Innate Knowing (07:37)
I've always had this innate knowing, a sense of direction that often shows up out of nowhere. Whether it's quitting a corporate job without a clear plan or embarking on spontaneous adventures like walking the Camino de Santiago, these moments have shaped my path in ways I never could have imagined.

Birthing Ground and Be Free (12:23)
Ah, Ground and Be Free. It's more than just a book—it's a labor of love, a culmination of years of sensing, feeling, and finally, creating. The process wasn't always easy, but when the inspiration struck, it struck hard. And now, as I hold the finished product in my hands, I can't help but marvel at the journey that led me here.

Mahalo Skin Care: A Labor of Love (16:04)
Mahalo Skin Care wasn't just a business venture—it was a calling. From the moment the name landed in my mind on that fateful day in Oahu, I knew this was something special. And so, armed with determination and a credit card, I set out to create a brand rooted in authenticity and artisan craftsmanship.

Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet (27:50)
It's taken me years to fully embrace my gifts as a clairvoyant. From childhood memories of being called "weird" to finally stepping into my power, it's been a journey of healing and self-discovery. But now, as I proudly share my abilities with the world, I feel more grounded and authentic than ever before.

Embracing Authenticity (32:30)
As I enter my fourth decade, I can't help but feel a sense of solidity, a deep knowing of who I am and what my purpose is. It's been a journey of ups and downs, of facing fears and embracing authenticity. But through it all, I've remained true to myself, and for that, I am eternally grateful.

A Poetic Farewell (39:30)
As we come to the end of our time together, I want to leave you with a poem from one of my favorite authors, Khalil Gibran. It's a reminder that true giving comes from the heart, and that by embracing generosity, we open ourselves up to the beauty of life itself.

So, my dear friend, thank you for sharing this sacred space with me. May your cup be full, your heart light, and your spirit free. Until next time, take care and be well.

With love and gratitude, Merina x
