Life in Progress Podcast

We don’t owe anyone an explanation for our life choices - don’t let other people’s voices get inside your head. It’s your life and nobody knows you better than you, only you’re capable of doing things for yourself. When you have self-awareness, it becomes your power to lead you to a better and happier life. Go create your own path, you can and you will.

Life will always be about learning and failing. I have made a list of life skills we need to learn and keep improving to progress. But always remember that we are on our own journey. Everything changes along the way and the best way to deal with life is to keep flowing and to comfort yourself more when you make mistakes. You’re your best friend!

Nobody said life is easy but there are greater things waiting for us when we don't give up and keep going no matter what challenges we face. I want to share this strength of mine with all of you, one thing made me successful is that I never gave up on anything, I am not used to living an easy life, I always crave challenges to keep going and stay motivated. Whenever life feels stagnant, i find new ways to learn and create greater opportunities for myself. I am only living one life and I don't want to live a life that I would great someday, I always tell myself that I want my future kids to be proud of their Mom. It has been always all or nothing for me, I go with all my power when I want something in my life, yes there is fear involved but my dreams weigh more than my doubts. If I can do it, you can do it too, I am here to tell you that let your failures guide you and never dim your light, embrace challenges and failures, you will bloom differently with adversities.

Failures will be always part of success even when society make us feel that making mistakes is not part of the formula. At the end of the day, as I always say, acceptance is key when life doesn’t go as planned. We have the power to bounce back no matter how bad life gets, we are capable of healing ourselves, dream all over again, and create better version of ourselves. We accept and heal differently — enjoy and embrace this to keep progressing and growing.

Remember that life will be always about how gracefully we restart and learn all the lessons we can.

There are days you will feel like a Rockstar and nothing can beat you down but some day it's normal that you just want to hide from the world. The challenge is not to stop and escape having insecurities but how to take care of ourselves and learn from our feelings every time we feel down. There are many external voices that would tell us we are not enough, only we can save ourselves, nobody is going to come us to fix us. Only we are capable of telling ourselves that we are going to be okay no matter how bad we feel about ourselves. Insecurities will never fade and go away but we have the power to confront our emotions and comfort ourselves every single day.

I never wanted to take a master’s, but going to IE changed my life, and now I understand that maybe I was meant to go to Madrid to do a meaningful task. I want to inspire you by making you believe that dreams give us strength, hope, and faith in our lives and where want to be, I strongly believe that when we are guided by our dreams we have a certain direction in life, produce better work, feel more grateful and we feel empowered to predict our future. Yes, chasing your dreams is very scary but as I always say, fear is just a reaction, but the choice of facing them every single day is a decision we make every single day until they become our strengths. Nobody is coming to save us, we have to do it ourselves.

We often feel stuck when we are not confident about our own journey, but trusting the process and being aware of our emotions helps us be mindful of how and where we want to be. I was lost for almost two years after the pandemic happened, but slowly I got myself back on track and decided to move to Madrid and see what else I am capable of doing in life. Everyone thought I was leaving Manila to get married to someone, but I left for myself and no external voices from the society can make me feel bad about myself and my journey because no one knows me and my dreams better than I do. So my question is, then why feel bad about yourself if you can be your own best friend to guide you?

I am doing a Ted Talk in Madrid. Despite living in Madrid for almost 10 months now I still ask myself why this happened all of a sudden? Now, I understand that the exact reason why I was thrown out here was that I was meant to do this purposeful task to inspire more people with my story. There is so much power in believing in yourself and your dreams, these might change along the way as circumstances are always changing but I believe that what means for you will always come at the right time. Keep going!

Recently I went back to the Philippines and everyone was asking me “ You are still not married?. And I still couldn’t wrap my head around the fact that in this part of the world people still think women are incomplete without a husband and children at the age of 31. Nobody asked me about my school and how life has been without understanding that not everyone wants to live the same life. Meanwhile, I never cared about these external voices but it still amazes me how women are always pressured to do things their way. I am here to encourage you to always lead your life, no matter what you hear from other people, it’s your own life.

What makes us overthink? I believe it is fear that’s the root of everything. We are scared to fail in life, which leads to a never-ending thinking tunnel that makes us hold ourselves back to live our best lives. It’s normal to be scared in a world where nothing is predictable but if we change the way we look at things, zoom in and out a little, give up perfection and learn to be kinder to ourselves, I promise it’s a beautiful way to think of possibilities and right outcomes instead of always feeding our minds with things that don’t contribute to our growth. There’s always something beautiful to look forward to if we give ourselves some space to fail and experiment. Nobody knows what tomorrow holds. Be kind and present today.
