In this yappy final episode of 2024, Leah reflects on her word of the year and how it showed up for her in big, surprising ways. She reveals her 2025 word of the year (spoiler, it's a made-up word!) and plans on reveling in it as much as possible.
Hali is around to discuss this week's Phat Grindz, which (surprise to no-one,) is a slightly alternative vegetarian food. This leads the sisters to discuss candidly what it means to be "bad" vegetarians.
In Leahlaniland: the Black Friday busy season had a bummer setback with a case of 80 missing packages lost to the USPS. What's a small business to do when five bags of packed orders just disappear out of thin air somewhere in the United States Postal Service?
And in a funny (to us) What the Shell segment, Hali shares her favorite malapropism of all time.Text us on our Shell Phone! Questions, comments, concerns, would-you-rathers, skincare recs... say hi!

Our first Leah's Littles Episode!
Meet Tessa, the littlest of the family and Leahlani's Marketing Director! She's in today to chat about how to make sense of our ever-shifting self-identities. Tess describes herself as "flighty" (for a lack of a better term) and shares how traveling the world for a year has allowed her to acknowledge and accept some things about herself that she hasn't given much notice to before. Hali shares how entering motherhood and experiencing post-partum anxiety is the only thing that has ever really rocked her sense of self.
It's kind of an intense episode but nothing some delightful Hyperfixation Phat Grindz and Whale Facts can't lighten right up.
Thanks for listening!

In this episode, the host, Leah, shares her profound experiences attending various women's retreats over the years. Beginning with her initial, nerve-wracking trip to a retreat in Oahu after 2018, she describes how overcoming her fears of public speaking and social anxiety has significantly impacted her life. Leah recounts subsequent retreats in Joshua Tree, Cornwall, and her latest adventure in Colorado, emphasizing the personal growth, empowerment, and deep connections she formed with other women. She discusses the transformative experiences of connecting with others through shared stories, finding her writing flow, and the therapeutic nature of these retreats. Leah highlights the importance of self-care and the unique bonding that takes place in these environments. The episode also features discussions on motherhood, a supportive community, practical tips, and a heartfelt wish to make such retreats accessible to more women.

After a failed remote podcast recording attempt, Leah and Hali are back with groggy but determined energy.
This week's Talk Story is about Hali and her chaotic journey from a religious studies student to a self-taught brand designer. The sisters get real about the emotional rollercoaster of working together, the pros and cons of doing everything themselves, and the ways that being very different kinds of people has helped them over the years.
For Phat Grindz, Leah dishes out her famous coconut-infused rice recipe, one of the few foods that her food critic of a husband requests weekly. They also discuss rice cooking techniques, because apparently, Hali is very confused about rinsing rice.
In Leahlani Land, Leah shares a heartfelt farewell to their cherished team member Cami.
And finally, for this week's What the Shell Segment: Hali is still obsessed with Whales but her algorithm served up a new fascination: fossils!! Plus, serious question: If you had to get an internationally renowned monument tattooed on your body, what would you go for?Text us on our Shell Phone!

This week Talk Story shares a special Paris memory that reminds us to re-frame our fears and focus on the euphoric high that only comes when you've faced something that genuinely stressed you out. We dive deep into a transformative trip to Europe in 2018, including a press event in Milan and nerve-wracking yet rewarding masterclasses in Paris. We also spill some tea on new products in Leahlani Land, and share Leah's somewhat insane recipe for making homemade cardamom bitters. Wrapping up with a nostalgic trip down memory lane from our days at the Iconic Hanalei Farmer's Markets, this episode is packed with personal growth, laughs, and some sisterly love.
