Welcome to Embers and Wind!

Guest Deslynn Jaquias shares this about her podcast “Healing with Aloha, I launched it in 2019, and then I put it on pause for a little bit to take care of my grandmother. She was in hospice care and that was her last year was this. And then in 2020 during the pandemic, I realized that initially I was going to do it solo, and then I said, you know, I’m going to start inviting other people on to my platform because I felt that I wasn’t the only one who had an urge to share, that I wasn’t the only one who was dealing with grief, mental health, and desires healing. And I thought well let me open it up so that I can have people and it’s open to anyone to come on and so it’s not limited to just to the Hawaiian Islands but it’s open to people from all walks of life to be able to share what they’ve done to work on their healing or what are the passions they have so that they can be able to embrace life to the fullest.”
