Aloha, Sunflowers! 🌻🌊We just wrapped one of the most unforgettable Strong Girl Summers — and we’re taking you with us to the islands! In this episode, we’re sharing how our time in Hawaii has been beautifully different — one trip, two very unique journeys.Zana here — back on the island I once called home. After living in Oahu for five years, this trip was emotional and nostalgic. I felt one with the ʻāina and the ocean, like I was being welcomed back by an old friend. Traveling with my kids (ages 7 to 13!) brought a mix of joy and chaos — but watching them experience the island I love made every moment worth it.And it’s G! Living my Love Island fantasy, okay?! Solo adventures, spontaneous dates, dancing under the stars — I’ve been fully embracing Strong Girl Summer energy. This trip reminded me that freedom is sacred, and sometimes the best version of you shows up when you’re far from home.From hiking and malasadas to family bonding and flirting by the beach, this episode is a heart-filled reflection on how one place can hold so many different kinds of magic.So whether you’re in your motherhood era, solo queen era, or somewhere in between — we hope this convo inspires you to live your life out loud, island-style.xoxo,G & Z 🌺🌻
