Life in Progress Podcast

You spent years shrinking yourself to fit. The expectations, the timeline, the version of you that everyone else was comfortable with. And then one day, quietly or all at once, you stopped.

No guests, no script, no filter. Just me, my mic, my camera, and an honest conversation I wish someone had with me sooner.This episode is all about mental health not the overwhelming, clinical kind, but the small, unglamorous lessons I've quietly picked up this year that have genuinely made my everyday life a little easier. The mindset shifts. The things I had to unlearn. The stuff that sounds simple but hits different when you actually start living it.Raw. Real. Just me figuring it out as I go.And if this kind of conversation is your thing, come experience it in person.Beyond First Class is a live afternoon event — intimate, curated, and full of the kind of stories and insights that actually stay with you. It's for explorers, storytellers, curious travelers, and anyone who just needs a good dose of inspiration.Register here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1KleSchYubJT6xeyLIsmDWmMUH9Aie8cyA-UU9bR4-JQ/viewform?edit_requested=true📍 Common Ground, Rockwell Makati🗓 May 23, 2026 | 12:00 PM🎟 Slots are limited — grab yours while you can!See you there. 🤍

Reaching the age of 35 gives you the right perspective in life, and especially in friendships. You don't give space to people who don't value the same things as you. You speak of goodness to only those who also support your growth.And that's okay. In fact, it's necessary.In this episode, we're talking about one of the most unspoken transitions of adulthood — the quiet drifting, the deliberate distancing, and sometimes the painful but necessary ending of friendships that no longer serve who you're becoming.

Nobody warns you that growing up also means growing apart, and that losing a friend in your 30s can hit just as hard as a romantic breakup.We'll unpack why your social circle naturally gets smaller as you get older, why quality starts to matter so much more than quantity, and why letting go of certain friendships isn't betrayal, it's self-respect. Because the version of you at 30-something has worked too hard, healed too much, and come too far to keep pouring energy into connections that drain rather than sustain.

What does travel look like when you're just starting out versus when you've already seen the world? In this episode, Angely sits down with Ms. Shan, a veteran of the travel industry with over 30 years of experience and the founder of Citti Elite. Together, they get real about how your relationship with travel evolves as you grow older, wiser, and more aware of what you actually want from a trip.

Not everyone can do business, and that's okay.Starting a business is one of the most beautiful, fulfilling, and deeply personal journeys you can take. However, it is also one of the most character-building experiences you will ever face. The late nights, the uncertainty, the pivots you never planned for... none of that gets talked about enough.In this episode, we are getting real about what entrepreneurship actually looks like. Not the highlight reel, but the full picture.The truth? Not everyone is cut out for it. Not yet. Because the difference between those who make it and those who don't often comes down to one thing: mindset. The willingness to embrace failure as a teacher, to welcome change instead of fearing it, and to commit to learning the actual craft of being an entrepreneur.Business isn't just about having a great idea. It's about who you become in the process of building it.If you're thinking about starting a business, already in the thick of it, or just wondering if you have what it takes, this one's for you.

We've all been there. the sudden need to book a trip, plan something, go anywhere, just to feel like we're moving forward. but sometimes that urge to travel isn't really about travel at all. in this episode we talk about what it looks like to stop, stay, and actually deal with the chaos instead of packing a bag and hoping distance does the work.Watch the latest episodes of Life in Progress Podcast on Youtube and on Spotify [https://tinyurl.com/y8hew6ur] We upload weekly! 🎙️Follow us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeinprogressph/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeinprogresspodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lifeinprogressph

We all carry our own definitions of what it means to “settle down” but have we ever really paused to ask what it truly looks like for us?

We all carry our own definitions of what it means to “settle down” but have we ever really paused to ask what it truly looks like for us?Is it choosing less, or is it choosing a different kind of growthThe kind that happens quietly, in between the big momentsThe kind that asks you to stay, to build, to nurture what you’ve found.

In this episode of Life in Progress, we unpack the layers behind settling down and challenge the idea that it means giving up on more. Maybe it’s not about shrinking your world, but about deepening it.

Listen to this conversation and reflect on what “settling down” means to you now.

Money is more than numbers in a bank account, it’s a tool. And for women, it can be one of the most powerful ones we have.In this episode, we sit down with Mariel Bitanga from Simply Finance PH (https://www.simplyfinanceph.com/) for an honest conversation about money, financial awareness, and what it really means to get smart about it as a woman. From shifting your mindset around earning and saving, to making intentional decisions with your finances, this episode unpacks the kind of conversations we don’t always have but absolutely need.Because the truth is, money creates options. It gives you the ability to walk away from situations that no longer serve you, to choose yourself without hesitation, and to build a life that feels safe, aligned, and fully yours.This isn’t just about building wealth, it’s about building freedom.Watch the latest episodes of Life in Progress Podcast on Youtube and on Spotify [https://tinyurl.com/y8hew6ur] We upload weekly! 🎙️Follow us on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeinprogressph/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lifeinprogresspodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/lifeinprogressph
