Episode 1- Intro (The Backlot)

Episode 1 introduces Ho‘omanawanui through the Backlot in Waimānalo, a place tied deeply to family, memory, and identity. It reflects on the space behind my childhood home along the Koʻolau mountains where gatherings happened, stories were shared, and connections to my grandparents and my roots were formed. Rather than beginning with loss itself, this episode begins with the foundation that makes endurance possible — the places and people that shape who we are before life changes us. It sets the tone for the podcast by exploring how memory, place, and family carry meaning long after moments pass, and how ho‘omanawanui begins with understanding where you come from.
