In this luminous and soul-stirring episode of the Raising Sage Spiritual Podcast, host Jess welcomes Anela Laahui Kahulani (@kat_kahulani)—artist, grandmother, water guardian, and the radiant force behind the Lighthouse Portal. Joining from her home on Maui, Kat opens up about her deeply personal and cosmic spiritual awakening, which was catalyzed by a seemingly mundane yet life-altering moment: breaking her arm while sun-gazing.

From that breaking point, Kat embarked on a healing journey of remembering—of self, purpose, and power. She shares how her spiritual gifts, like weaving light, receiving Hawaiian water chants (aloha mele), and lightning-assisted energy clearings, emerged through connection with nature, ceremony, and inner stillness. The conversation flows from mystic visions of turtles and whales to profound lessons in self-love, grief alchemy, and being unapologetically “strange” in a programmed world.

Kat's storytelling is vibrant, grounded, and completely unfiltered. Interweaving ancient Hawaiian wisdom with real-life transformation. Whether you're just stepping into spirituality or searching for deeper remembrance, this episode is a radiant, heart-opening offering.
