Ah, yes, at some point, y'all knew i had to do an episode like this.

This is not really a call out, but rather, a PSA. It' s not really me defending people like me who are bad at responding but rather, trying to bring y'all to take a step back to look at the bigger picture

It's me trying to take accountability and help others take accountability for why we feel the way we feel about responding/not responding/not being responded to


So buckle up! Because this episode might trigger you a bit!

Honestly, it's such a silly concept of an episode, yet it was actually one of the hardest i've had to do.

I had to combat myself from going on a tangent on certain things because i felt myself being pulled away to different topics,

but one thing remained true and one thing seemed to be the common denominator for why i'm still living paycheck to paycheck in my 30's.

It's me. Hi ! I wouldn't say i'm a problem, but its me!

And if you feel the same way, maybe this episode is for you! Because maybe you will finally realize that it's okay to admit that we may have been at such a disadvantage, and that we realize our full potential, but that might be one of the biggest downfalls we've ever had. 

And it's finally time to take a stand to our own negative selves and say, it's okay to live paycheck to paycheck for now, because one day, i will be okay!

TRIGGER WARNING FOR THIS EPISODE!

I almost choked to death a month ago, and it was a game changer!

Don't you love how phrasing things can change how grim one thing can sound? 

This event taught my about my fight or flight instincts, and how heartbreaking it is that most people do perish from certain things because their fight or flight or freeze responses tell them to freeze. 

It's also definitely interesting to see how life altering events can affect us, but how long do these effects last? This episode opens up this season and I would love for others to share their experiences, if they have any.

Let me guess, you destroyed a beautiful relationship because of overthinking?
You were about to date someone until you started overthinking?
I'm not proud to say it, but i'm an overthinker. In today's society, WHO ISN'T!?!?!
But that, right there, is a huge problem. If we all overthink, then how are we going to actually understand each other?!

In this episode, i talk about the dangers of overthinking SPECIALLY when it comes to relationships. Oh, i also talk about overthinking when it comes to family (ahem)

But honestly, this is just a glimpse at what it looks like for us overthinkers, and how dangerous it could be, and how we can actually deal with it!

First of all, Mom i love you! I'm glad we're able to move forward and have this amaazing friendship/relationship between us now and i wouldn't change anything

But tbh, those years really messed me up. BUT NOT ANYMOOOORE

In this episode, i talk about my tumultuous relationship with my mother while i was growing up and some of you might actually be able to relate to this (Hey remember the term "MY HOUSE MY RULES" !? EH!??! EH!?!? )

I detail all of the hardships i went through but also, the important message of this episode, is that not only does time heal all, but YOU have the power! YOU have the ability to break that cycle for yourself!

In this episode, I want to remind everyone of what made me start a podcast in the first place. I was diagnosed with Harm OCD in 2020 and my life has changed since. The first few months were really tough , and i realized not everybody knows exactly what they are dealing with, and how much harder it is to live life undiagnosed, and living in the unknown. 

I'm here to take a look back at everything I've had to face, everything I've had to go through, and to hopefully show everybody who are in the same shoes that they are doing great! That we should never give up, because it might not seem like it, but we are slowly taking our happiness back!

Love y'all! And if you want to be a guest on the show feel free to reach out!

As someone who's been ghosted, it sucked

As someone who's ghosted people, i just didn't want to get hurt because i hate confrontation

BUT YOU SEE?! "I" . A selfish reason. I would rather hurt others than own up to the truth and be transparent.

This episode deals with ghosting and why as people we need to be better and actually learn to NOT ghost people. To consider the implications of ghosting is to honestly be a decent human being. We can save so many people from crippling anxiety and destroyed self esteem if we just, you know, OWN UP TO IT.

If you are either the ghostee/ghoster, i would love to have you on a future episode so we can discuss the whys and the hows!

Rejection sucks. Rejection hurts. Most times, rejection makes us think we are not worthy of love, of ANYTHING in this world.

But this is exactly, what we should NEVER do. To go down this spiral, this rabbit hole, which is where all of us end up meeting each other (Hello fellow HOLE)

In this episode i talk about my very (triggering) and real way that i used to cope with rejection. It was so unhealthy, and it destroyed me for YEARS.

I hope for those of you who can relate, I hope y'all learn something from this today

Love y'all! And HAPPY PRIDE!

Growing up, I never knew there was such a thing as "pansexual".  Specially in the Philippines, you were limited to two choices, gay/lesbian or straight. Not only this, back in my day (ahem OLD) being within the community has such a huge negative connotation (like being a disgrace to society).

There are so many people who are not able to figure out their sexuality/identity because of such factors, and it shows. This episode, I talk about my experiences with being too afraid to live my truth as a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and I also share insight on, well,  the fact that you, my friends, are loved :)

Don't forget to share this with your friends, and to share love during pride(and everyday please! )
