In this milestone 50th episode of Ang Batang 90s Podcast—and the finale of Season 4—we celebrate not just another recording, but a journey of resilience, community, and growth. This season has been a true roller coaster. We gained so much, but we also lost listeners, teammates, and even faced moments when giving up felt easier than continuing. Yet we chose to stay, to keep showing up, and to hold on to the stories, the connections, and the community we’ve built together.

And so, what better way to close this season than by asking a question we’ve all faced at some point: “How do you rise when everything and everyone is trying to pull you down?"

To help us unpack this, we’re joined by Libni Frotuna—a Transformational Life and Energy Mentor, TEDx speaker, and fellow podcaster. In this powerful conversation, Libni shares how to recognize when life’s weight goes beyond ordinary stress, how to protect your energy in the middle of chaos, and how to rise above environments that don’t always support you. Most of all, she leaves us with a reminder for everyone who feels tired, lost, or weighed down—that even in the heaviest seasons of life, we still hold the power to rise.

As we close Season 4 and mark our 50th episode, we’re grateful for the laughter, the lessons, and the people who stayed with us through the highs and lows. This finale is not just an episode—it’s a milestone and a hopeful reminder that kahit gaano kabigat ang mundo, may paraan pa ring bumangon.

In this heartfelt 49th episode of Ang Batang 90s Podcast—and the second to the last episode of Season 4—we sit down with instructional eLearning designer, former colleague, and good friend Dessa Burca to talk about the highs and lows of solo living in Manila while working.

From navigating independence in the middle of the city’s chaos to finding resilience in the face of everyday challenges, Dessa opens up about how living alone has shaped her career and her personal life. Together, we reflect on the struggles, the small wins, and the unexpected lessons that solo living teaches us about adulthood, balance, and growth.

This is a conversation about independence, resilience, and finding your rhythm—the emotional and practical realities of building a life on your own in the city.

As we near the close of this season, this episode feels especially timely: a reminder that while solo living can be overwhelming, it can also push us to adapt, grow, and thrive in ways we never imagined.

So join us as we share stories, laughs, and insights with Dessa Burca—a conversation that’s equal parts real, relatable, and inspiring for anyone carving out their own path in Manila.

In this practical and heartfelt episode of Ang Batang 90s Podcast, we sit down with content creator, B2B sales specialist, consultant, and student JZ to talk about one of the most intimidating career questions: When should you quit your job?

From her relatable 90s memories to her current hustle juggling multiple roles, JZ brings both real-world experience and grounded wisdom to the table. Together, we break down the subtle signs of dissatisfaction at work, how to tell if you’re just burned out or facing a deeper career mismatch, and the smart ways to explore new opportunities without taking a blind leap.

This is real talk about navigating change—addressing the emotional, practical, and even financial aspects of job transitions. We also dive into healthy coping mechanisms to deal with uncertainty, and how to keep perspective when making tough choices about your career.

Whether you’re a 90s kid figuring out your next move or a co-worker trying to handle everyday workplace challenges, this conversation will empower you to face the fear of letting go and embrace the possibility of moving forward—with clarity, courage, and a plan.

Why This Episode Scares Me the Most

For the first time ever, I speak alone behind the mic—no guests, just my truth. In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the weight of silence, the pain of being misunderstood, and the strength it takes to keep going when no one sees your struggle. This is a story of burnout, friendship, lost connections, unexpected kindness, and choosing to show up—still. If you've ever felt alone while doing everything for everyone, this one’s for you.
