Welcome to Piko Moments – A Family Podcast for Stronger, Healthier ʻOhana

Aloha and welcome to Piko Moments! Our podcast is designed to bring families together, fostering deeper connections through Hawaiian values, storytelling, and meaningful conversations. Whether you’re listening alone or with your ʻohana, each episode offers wisdom, reflection, and practical takeaways for building a stronger and healthier family.

Episode 1: The Power of Pono

What is Pono?

In Hawaiian culture, pono means integrity, righteousness, and balance. It’s about doing the right thing, even when no one is watching, and striving for harmony in all aspects of life. A family that lives with pono fosters trust, love, and mutual respect.

The Lesson:

Have you ever had a disagreement with someone in your family that was left unresolved? That lingering tension can create imbalance in your home. Pono teaches us to restore harmony by taking responsibility for our actions, apologizing when necessary, and choosing kindness over anger.

Imagine your family as a canoe. If everyone paddles in unison, the ride is smooth. But if one person stops or rows in the opposite direction, the canoe struggles. Living pono means checking in with one another, making sure no one is left behind.

Piko Practice – A Simple Family Activity

To bring pono into your daily life, try this:

➡️ Tonight, tell a family member one thing you appreciate about them. It can be as simple as, “I love the way you always make me laugh,” or “Thank you for making breakfast this morning.” Small moments of gratitude help create harmony within your ʻohana.

Reflection Questions for Your ʻOhana

• What does pono mean to you?
• Is there something in your family that feels out of balance?
• How can you bring pono into your relationships this week?

By practicing pono daily, you’ll strengthen your family bonds and create a more loving and connected home.
