Mapuana sits down with Pumehana Palmer to explore her journey from being homeless as a child in Hawaii to becoming a guide for women on the path of self trust, nervous system awareness, and aligned decision making. Together, they talk about self acceptance, healing childhood wounds, Internal Family Systems therapy, yoga philosophy, and what it really means to lead your life from calm, clarity, and compassion. Pumehana shares her SOUL Method for working through triggers, her Decisive Edge framework for confident decision making, and the deeper truth that healing does not mean fixing yourself, but accepting yourself fully. This conversation is for anyone who feels called to grow, heal, and step into their next chapter with more confidence and self trust.
