Mental Health Ka Diyan!

------ SPECIAL EPISODE ------ Mental Health Ka Diyan isn’t here to tell you what to think or give you a 60-second answer to everything. 😅

In this solo episode, Kai gets personal about what this podcast actually stands for: taking accountability for your emotions, learning to regulate them, being more intentional about the content you consume, and staying open to different perspectives on mental health and healing. Because minsan, hindi sapat ang “gets ko na ’yan” after one Reel.

We need context, discernment, and yes… konting tingin din sa sarili natin. Aray. 😬 If you’re willing to ask deeper questions, explore different perspectives, and take more agency over your own well-being, this conversation is for you.

Hindi lahat ng positive words, tamang sabihin sa lahat ng oras.

Kasama ni Kai si Eric Dimar, Registered Psychologist, at Registered Guidance Counselor, para pag-usapan kung bakit may mga salitang akala nating nakaka-comfort pero puwedeng makapagpa-feel na hindi valid ang pinagdadaanan ng isang tao. Sa episode na ito, pinag-usapan nila kung paano maging present, paano makinig nang may empathy, at kung ano ang puwede mong sabihin kapag gusto mong makatulong, hindi lang makapagbigay ng advice.

Kung gusto mong mas maging maingat sa mga salitang binibitawan mo at mas maintindihan kung paano tunay na makasuporta sa isang taong nahihirapan, pakinggan ang buong episode sa Spotify at panoorin sa YouTube.

Kapag lagi kang pagod, mainitin ang ulo, hindi makatulog, o parang ang bigat-bigat ng pakiramdam... ang default na sagot natin? "Stress lang 'yan." Tapos tuloy lang sa buhay. 😒

Pero habang kausap ni Kai si Dr. Nikita Kyla Talens, an internationally trained Functional Medicine Physician, Aesthetic Dermatologist, at Self-Love Coach, mapapaisip ka rin. Paano kung hindi lang pala deadlines, traffic, o toxic na tao ang problema? Paano kung may ginagawa na rin pala ang hormones, lifestyle, at paraan natin ng pag-handle ng stress sa isip at katawan natin?

Pinag-usapan nila kung bakit hindi sapat na symptoms lang ang tinitingnan, kung bakit mahalagang hanapin ang root cause, at kung paano magkakakonekta ang hormones, katawan, emosyon, at mental health. Hindi ito usapang "manifest lang" o "think positive." Practical, science-backed, at mapapaisip ka kung ano ba talaga ang sinusubukang sabihin ng katawan mo.

Available na ang episode! Pakinggan mo na bago mo ulit sisihin ang sarili mo sa lahat.

Paano kung ang pakiramdam na "parang hindi na ako 'to" isn't the end of your journey... kundi simula pa lang?

After becoming the guest behind the most-downloaded episode ng Mental Health Ka Diyan, bumalik ulit si Koi Grey for the round two! Bilang Trail Ambassador ng Spartan PH, Trail Mentor ng Garmin PH, at Adventure Athlete ng Cordillera Conservation Trust, dala ni Koi ang mga insights na hinubog hindi lang ng libro, kundi ng mga mahabang biyahe, at mga real experiences sa pag-explore sa bundok.

Sa episode na ito, pinag-uusapan nila ang isang tanong na halos lahat yata dumadaan pero bihirang napag-uusapan nang ganito: Ano ba talaga ang ibig sabihin ng "losing yourself?" Totoo bang nawawala tayo, o baka nagbabago lang? Bakit parang iba-iba ang version natin sa trabaho, sa bahay, at sa relationships? At paano mo malalaman kung kailangan mo lang magpahinga... o kailangan mo nang mag-update ng sarili mong "operating system"?

Isa itong usapan na hindi lang tungkol sa mental health. We'll also explore how identity, intuition, movement, and nature shape the way we think, make decisions, and navigate everyday life.

You already know what you want. So why does taking the first step still feel so hard?

More often than not, it's not because you lack the ability or motivation. Minsan, nauunahan lang tayo ng boses sa isip natin. The overthinking. The self-doubt. The inner critic that keeps telling us to play it safe, wait for the perfect timing, or convinces us that we're not ready yet.

In this episode, Kai sits down with John Boja, a Certified NLP Master Practitioner, EFT Practitioner, Executive Coach for high-tech companies in California like HP, Yahoo, Apple, and Seagate, and Trainer, para pag-usapan kung bakit ba tayo minsan nauunahan ng sariling isip natin. Together, they explore the purpose of our inner critic, why trying to get rid of it isn't always the answer, and how it can quietly influence the decisions we make every day. They also share practical mindset tools and techniques to help you recognize the thought patterns keeping you stuck, build resilience against rejection and self-doubt, ask yourself better questions, and learn how to move forward even when fear is still present.

Take this as your sign to start understanding the thoughts that may be holding you back.

Paano ka magiging safe space para sa isang tao nang hindi mo rin isinasakripisyo ang sarili mo?

Kapag may mahal kang taong dumadaan sa mental health struggles, minsan hindi mo alam kung ano talaga ang tamang gawin. Kakausapin mo ba? Bibigyan ng space? O hihintayin mo na lang siyang lumapit?

Sa episode na ito, kasama ni Kai si Riyan Portuguez, Host of the Breakdown Podcast, Registered Psychologist & Psychometrician, at Chairperson ng I/O Psychology Division ng Philippine Association of Psychologists (PAP) to talk about the conversations many of us need to have, but rarely do. How do you become a safe space for someone without carrying all of their emotional weight? Kailan ka dapat mag-set ng boundaries? At paano mo aalagaan ang sarili habang sinusubukan mong alagaan ang taong mahal mo? Kasi minsan, gusto lang naman nating tumulong, hindi lang natin alam kung paano.

Kung gusto mong maintindihan kung paano mas maging present para sa isang taong may pinagdadaanan, nang hindi mo rin nakakalimutan ang sarili mo, this episode is for you.

We're all trying to be more mindful about mental health, but what if your good intentions still come across the wrong way? This episode tackles that tension head-on.

Kai is joined by returning guests Kresta Nadine and Mariane Alba for a candid conversation about navigating adult friendships during bad brain days. Together, they unpack what happens when a friend suddenly goes quiet, disappears from the group chat, or doesn't have the energy to show up the way they normally would. They talk about learning not to take silence personally, supporting someone without treating them like a problem to solve, and finding the balance between checking in and giving space. The conversation also explores how ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and everyday emotional struggles can affect friendships, why emotional maturity matters, and how understanding your friends can sometimes be more important than having the right words.

Tune in for an honest conversation about friendship, mental health, and showing up for each other when life gets heavy.
