Her Life's Journey

Her life’s journey, a tapestry woven with both moments of awe and adversity, cultivated within her a profound connection to the world and an unwavering commitment to guiding others on their transformative paths. Born into the legacy of her father, the esteemed California State Assemblyman, businessman, mentor, and civil rights champion, Frank Holoman, Kailani inherited not only his indomitable spirit but also his deep reverence for the power of words.

However, amid the brilliance of her father’s influence, Kailani also grappled with intricate life lessons, lessons that whispered doubts of unworthiness, unlovability, and inadequacy. These complex teachings, intertwined with periods of hardship and solitude, would later serve as the very foundation of her life’s purpose. In experiencing the depths of these challenges, she developed a profound empathy and understanding for the struggles of others, igniting her passion for helping them find their own paths to healing and self-discovery.

It was Kailani’s mother, Carol, a compassionate, positive thinking, and diligent matriarch, who ensured the family’s well-being after a divorce that reshaped Kailani’s world at the tender age of ten.  In the face of adversity, Carol’s unwavering fortitude, her boundless kindness towards others, her optimism, and her magnetic charisma left an indelible mark on Kailani’s impressionable heart. She regards her mother as her very first “shero,” a source of inspiration who cultivated her innate empathy and ignited a profound compassion that reaches into all that Kailani does.

During her formative teenage years, a resilient Kailani sought refuge in the solace of her writing, nurturing dreams of one day achieving a Ph.D. in Psychology to extend a compassionate hand to those who had battled similar life experiences. However, the trajectory of her life took an unexpected turn during her inaugural semester in college when she discovered she was expecting a child. Disappointed, but not defeated, she left her academic pursuits, entered into matrimony, and embarked on a journey marked by both joys and tribulations.

Undeterred by life’s setbacks, she tenaciously pursued her educational dreams, enrolling in college on five separate occasions, accumulating a mere 18 credit hours. As she entered her mid-thirties, she faced widowhood, bearing the weight of single motherhood. Regrettably, her aspiration of earning that coveted Ph.D. remained shelved, overshadowed by life’s exigencies.

Then, a divine meeting intervened in the form of Mark, her beloved husband of three decades, a charismatic presence who had his own experiences of past traumas and brokenness. From the very beginning of meeting Kailani, he recognized the potent, gifted, and brilliant woman she was beneath the scars of her past. Their path to healing was no easy feat; they inadvertently inflicted pain on each other and endured harrowing traumas in their personal lives, businesses, and the realm of love. Their relationship weathered storms that would have shattered most, yet they emerged stronger each time. In 2018, they envisioned…

In 2018, they envisioned the next chapter of their life, planning to settle in the place they both considered home: Hawai’i.

Tragedy struck in late 2017 when a medical procedure took a dire turn. Mark valiantly clung to life for three months before his inevitable transition. In his final days, he extracted promises from Kailani: to honor their dreams by moving to Hawai’i, resuming her academic pursuit of a Ph.D. in Psychology, writing books, speaking, and sharing the profound lessons they had gleaned from their arduous healing journey.

With unwavering determination, Kailani embarked on a poignant journey, transplanting her life to the serene shores of Hawai’i. There, she confronted the formidable challenge of mourning not just her beloved husband but also her mother, whose passing had coincided with Kailani’s arrival on the islands. In the crucible of this profound adversity, she began the process of rebuilding her world.

Resolute in her promise to her husband and the pursuit of personal growth, Kailani enrolled at the University of Hawai’i at Maui, where she ardently pursued her studies in Liberal Arts. Her unwavering commitment bore fruit as she emerged with an A.A. degree, adorned with the distinction of Honors. Her thirst for knowledge remained unquenched, leading her to the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, where she achieved the remarkable feat of earning dual B.A. degrees, graduating cum laude. Her academic achievements were a testament to her resilience and tenacity.

In a moment of great significance, Kailani stood before a captivated audience as the chosen speaker for the commencement ceremony. The arena, filled with 10,000 people, resonated with emotion as she delivered her address, her life’s narrative moving many to tears. Amidst a sea of faces, she received a resounding standing ovation, a testament to the profound impact of her journey and the compassion she had demonstrated along the way.

Having completed her Master’s in Educational Psychology, from Purdue Global University graduating with honors, and completing a Graduate Certificate in Design and Technology, she is now pursing a doctorate in Education with a concentration in Leadership and Innovation. She is sharing the invaluable lessons she has acquired with the world—an inspiring testament to the indomitable human spirit and the transformative power of love.

With a rich tapestry of learning from the past, spiritual insight, and a personal odyssey from brokenness to healing, Kailani empowers others to transmute their painful experiences into wellsprings of personal growth.
