Are you in that… thing? Not quite dating, definitely not just friends, floating somewhere in the nebulous zone of a situationship? You're not alone! This week, Coach and Judge dive headfirst into the messy middle with their hilariously honest guest, Nastassja. They dissect the anatomy of the undefined, asking the big questions: What is this anyway? Why are we all doing it? And is there an exit strategy that doesn't involve emotional wreckage?

Pardon the sound of Nastassja's mic, she was a bit malikot!

Prepare for tough love from Coach, painfully relatable stories from Nastassja, and Judge… well, he might just be having an existential crisis about his own situationship in real-time. Get ready for a raw, funny, and maybe a little too accurate look at modern dating's grey area. This episode might just be the "talk" you didn't even know you needed.

This episode is a love letter to every kind of mom — the ones who gave birth and the ones who simply showed up. From biological moms to adoptive ones, stepmoms, lolas, titas-turned-mamas, single dads playing double duty, to the unexpected heroes who filled mother-shaped spaces in our lives! We see you, we honor you.

Coach CC and Judge Ryan team up to share heartfelt stories of Filipino-style motherhood — where affection is often packed in lunchboxes, whispered through curfews, or stitched into last-minute school projects. Whether you’ve carried a child, carried someone through heartbreak, or carried groceries while muttering “nakuuu,” this episode is for you.

 Expect laughter, a few tears, and lots of love.

Now… let’s talk about the onion.

While most Filipino moms reach for Vicks like it’s a prescription from heaven — rubbing it on your chest, back, feet, and soul. Coach CC’s mom? She had a different gospel.

You'll wanna hear the full story! 

Self-care isn’t selfish—it’s self-respect. And in this episode, Ryan and CC explore what that really looks like in the middle of deadlines, drama, and daily stress.

Forget the clichés. They’re breaking down the myths: that self-care is only for people with time, money, or face masks. From morning walks to journaling, tech detoxes to boundaries—this episode is packed with simple, practical ways to care for yourself without the guilt.

Expect their signature blend of honesty, humor, and that lowkey push-pull dynamic that keeps things interesting. Ryan tries to stay serious, CC keeps it real but playful, and somewhere in between, they remind each other—and you—that taking care of yourself is the first step to showing up better for everyone else.

Because here’s the truth: you can’t keep giving if you’re always running on empty.

Oh, and what's with the mung beans? It's just CC looking out for Judge Ryan's health—since he says slow down with the oats (hello, purine)—and CC’s worried about the balance. (Because sometimes, a little health advice comes with the territory.)

Take the break. Press play. You deserve it.

Welcome back to the chaos and clarity that is Heart on Trial! In this episode, Judge Ryan drops the gavel on one-sided efforts and blurred lines, while Coach CC delivers her signature blend of dark humor and gut-punch wisdom.

The banter? Beautifully brutal. Sharp one-liners, playful digs, and the kind of chemistry you can’t fake. Whether it’s decoding mixed signals or defending the dignity of letting go, these two hit where it hurts—but with love.

This week’s case dives into the all-too-familiar heartbreak of half-hearted affection. That person who shows up when it’s easy, disappears when it matters. Judge Ryan lays down the truth. Coach CC says what most won’t. And in between the laughter and low blows, you just might find the clarity you’ve been avoiding.

“Sometimes, it’s not that they didn’t love you. They just didn’t love you enough to stay.”

Listen now. Let the gavel fall. Let your heart heal.

This wasn’t the plan… but let’s be real — some episodes just take on a life of their own. 🎙️

We were all set to talk Red Flags and Green Flags — but then a beautifully written piece landed in our inbox, and we knew we had to make space for it. What followed? A deep-dive into the big stuff: life, love, career, heartbreak, growth… and maybe a little oversharing.

Somehow, this turned into a lowkey “getting to know each other” episode — the kind where you’re not sure if it’s a podcast or a heart-to-heart at 2AM.

💡 Spoiler: Nobody was drinking... we just sound like we were crying at 3AM in the notes app. 😅

Finally... you can hear us properly! 🥳 We upgraded our mics, and just in time, because today's topic deserves crystal-clear audio: Love Languages! In this episode, Ryan and CC dive into how we give and receive love — from acts of service to gifts to a little bit of everything (buffet-style, of course ). We’re breaking it down, sharing stories, answering your questions, and laughing along the way. This is only Part 1, so buckle up — we’re just getting started.

Welcome back to Help! We Started A Podcast! In Episode 3, we're diving deep into the most outrageous ABYG and AITA confessions—because who doesn't love a little drama? Get ready for our unsolicited advice and unfiltered hot takes as we unpack the messiest of situations. From relationship fails to family feuds, we’re here to share our thoughts with no filter. Buckle up because Episode 3 is packed with all the wild confessions, laughs, and, of course, our effed up mic. LOL, let’s get into it!

We’re back for episode 2! This time, we’re talking about decluttering — not just your messy room, but your mind, your habits, and even those unnecessary thoughts taking up rent-free space.

From clearing out physical clutter to letting go of emotional baggage, we’ll share unsolicited advice and a few stories that might just make you rethink what’s worth keeping.

And hey, before you judge the mic quality — yeah, Ryan still sounds like he’s recording in an empty warehouse. Blame the echo, not the effort. You’ll understand.

So… we started a podcast. Was it a well-thought-out decision? Not really. But here we are, introducing ourselves, talking about our hobbies (or obsessions), and unpacking what possessed us to grab a mic and hit record.

No experts, no scripts — just two people pretending we know what we’re doing. Welcome to Help! We Started A Podcast!

Full disclosure — the audio's a little rough, but let’s call it ‘authentic ambiance.’ You know, like those indie tracks that sound ‘raw’ on purpose? Same vibe. Think of it as us being relatable. But don’t worry, we’re on a steep learning curve — next episode, we might even sound like we recorded in a real studio. Stick around, it only gets better!
