Kanaka State of Mind - Day 4: Service Without a Spotlight

Why You Feel Stuck

Season 5 of Daily Da Kine kicks off Project Higher Self. In this episode, Kēhau breaks down cognitive dissonance in real‑talk terms—why it feels so uncomfortable when your idea of who you are doesn’t match how you’re actually showing up. She explains how most people solve that by dropping back into their “default setting,” and how listeners can instead use that discomfort as a signal to rise into the version of themselves they actually want to be.

Kanaka State of Mind - Day 27: Act Like Youʻre Part of the Hui

If you’ve ever felt resentful because you’re doing all the work, or called yourself “part of the team” while mostly enjoying the benefits, this episode will help you check your role in the canoe.
