In Your 20s

Hey! This Sunday, Catherine will be more personal and she'll talk about vulnerability and why it's hard for her to open up. This isn't just about being vulnerable to a potential lover but also to her family and her friends. (The power of vulnerability by Brene Brown on YouTube) (Words on Bathroom Walls by Julia Walton) (500 days of summer Dir. Marc Webb) HAPPY SUNDAY, EVERYONE!

Vacation is over, indeed. For today's episode, Catherine will read her journal (the last page) and she'll read her reflection for the year of 2021. She'll read her last entry for 2021 so it's definitely going to be emotional. She's still in the phase whereas she's encouraging everyone to make a journal so, forgive her. Last year, Cath overshared and burped a lot, but more than that, she gave you lessons and learnings too. She's going to share all her reflections and what she will leave in 2021.

This is gonna be my last episode for this year. I'm gonna be seeing y'all next year!! For my last episode, I'll talk about a lot of things but mainly about new year's resolution and why it's cool to have them and stick with them. I will also talk about the importance of not spoiling the existence of Santa Claus to kids, and why we should let them discover for themselves that he's not real (or they're just your parents). I just want to thank YOU for being a part of my 2021, which is a memorable year for me. I learned a lot more than I could explain in words this year and I didn't realize that days are passing too fast when you're in your 20's. I'M GONNA BE SEEING YOU NEXT YEAR!! Enjoy these holidays, swag B:

Listen, 2021 is about to end and Catherine wants you to romanticize your life more next year! Take pictures, take everything slowly-- drinking your morning coffee while doing your laundry. Now, Catherine knows that it's not an easy thing to do, since you've been seeing these things everyday, you've been doing these chores for your mother knows how long when. So, for today's episode, Catherine will share 7 things that will help you romanticize your life more! Note: It's not gonna be easy and not all days are the same, and that's okay!

I think that I have to talk about body types and fashion because one of the things that hinders someone to have a good access to fashion is their opinion to themselves and the opinion of other people (sucks). Pretty privilege started to become the talk of the town when TikTok happened, and people started to share their stories and experiences. I think that I just have to say something about this--body types and fashion because I've been seeing people commenting on other people's outfits, even if they are not being asked. Most of these people are commenting on plus size creators, which makes me sad because this is one of the reasons why plus size people are shy to express themselves through fashion. I think that fashion is something that we should be enjoying, and it's one way to express ourselves. There should also be a diversity in media where we could see different body types, so people could explore more issues... not just about body types but also about beauty standards and more. I also think that you can explore and find what suits you, because that's what matters the most. Being comfortable with your fashion or comfortability is one of the most important things that will help you to find your style! YOU CAN DO IT! If there's one thing that I've learned from fashion, that is... "whenever you are going to decide, always think of the worst consequence of your decision then from that, think of the people affected by the consequences and always remember there's only three opinions that should matter. Opinion of the people who cares for you, opinion of the people who you cared for and the most important is your opinion." From Albert, a close friend of mine. So, wear that dress or wear that skirt, F it and enjoy the rest of your day!!

Wow, time is passing so quicky when you're just inside your home. It could totally affect your mental health by thinking that every single day is just the same. Catherine assures you that you're not the only person who's experiencing this, because she also thinks that time passes too fast. It's sad to feel that everyday is just the same, but don't worry! It is not. You can always find a new hobby-- playing a guitar, finally starting a journal, medidating, and so much more! For today's episode, Catherine dives in with some of the things that she overthought and how it is now. She also talks about some of the things that she learned from starting a podcast. Because Christmas is about to come, she's so generous for talking about how she thinks about life now. Happy Sunday! Please eat something healthy and treat yourself once in a while!

Happy Monday, listeners! Do Catherine a favor and get rid of clothes that you won't wear anymore. This might sound like an educational episode (because it is) so, if you find this boring that's okay. But Catherine assures you that it's worth the listen, up until the end. She saw a post on tumblr about sunk cost fallacy so if you want to know what it is and if you're experiencing it right now, feel free to listen! Also, she wasn't able to upload yesterday, which is Sunday because she went to Batangas. Have a great weekdays, everyone! Don't forget to bring some jackets or sweaters with you because it's already so cold outside.

For today's episode, let's dive in with the Marcoses and Duterte's administration. Should we vote for them? For today's episode, let's also talk about what really happened with Duterte's war on drugs. Now that his 6 years of service is about to end, Filipinos shoud get to know all the candidates, in a more deeper level. But Catherine was apolitical and she doesn't care about the government, but when she got to college and when this pandemic happened, she realized that her vote is not just for her but for the people who needs it.

As we grow older, we realize that it's okay to have less friends and grow with them, and being perfect won't make someone stay. Catherine will talk about some things that she learned in her 20's. Happy 20th episode and thank you for listening! Grow grafefully everyone!

Tw: Eating disorders. Happy Sunday, everyone! Catherine shares her story when it comes to her relationship with her parents, with the mix of her anxiety and body dysmorphia. Also, this is not done yet because there's a construction outside their house :( she'll definitely continue this talk one of these days, but she dives in with parents and why we argue with them, which she have a lot of experience. Hope you're having a great night or day!
