Mental Health and Tools for Change with Heather Pierucki
In this episode, we had the joy of speaking with Heather Pierucki who shares insights from her life, career and experience as a student of Pono Shim. She is a therapist, clinical consultant, and managing partner of ChangeWorks which focuses on supporting agencies that service individuals managing houselessness, mental illness, substance use and poverty. Heather recalls how her initial meeting with Pono Shim like a reconnection, an instinctual knowing of the other. In our hour together, Heather shares stories of the many transitions in her life, from childhood, to choosing a career in therapy, to choosing her partner and moving to Hawaii. She also provides a powerful success story from her previous work with Helping Hands Hawaii which highlights how showing up with love and the right tools can truly help people in need. Mahalo nui for tuning in!

Welcome to the Above the Sides podcast! Join us on our journey to uncover what it means to think, act, and live aloha. The inspiration for this podcast is the late Pono Shim, former President and CEO of the Oʻahu Economic Development Board. His stories capture the essence of what it means to live aloha. He made it known that aloha is a lifestyle. It is not a solution to problems, a marketing brand or to be used as an advantage over anyone else. Aloha is to be honored and practiced.
The name of this podcast is in reverence of Hawaiʻi's Queen Liliʻuokalani, who wrote: "To gain the kingdom of heaven is to hear what is not said, to see what cannot be seen, and to know the unknowable – that is Aloha. All things in this world are two; in heaven there is but One.” Through these episodes, we seek to find that singular perspective, the one that is "above the sides" as we strive for universal peace.
We welcome you to pause with us as we share the stories and voices of Hawai’i business leaders, educators and community members who have chosen to be lifelong students of aloha. Mahalo nui loa for listening.
