In this episode, I talk about the mask I wear every single day — not a scary one, not a fake one, but the kind that keeps the peace.

The people-pleaser mask. The “I’m good” mask. The mask you wear so no one feels uncomfortable — even when you are.

This episode is about what it’s like to stand in a room full of people, smiling, nodding, agreeing… while quietly walking on eggshells inside. It’s about how being the dependable one, the easy one, the calm one slowly turns into self-abandonment.

In this episode, I check in honestly about where I’ve been the past few weeks. Health issues, mental fatigue, and work stress all hit at once, and I needed to slow down.

This isn’t an episode with answers or advice — just a real moment about burnout, discipline, and trying to find my footing again.

If you’ve been going through it too, you’re not alone. I’m still here. Still trying.

In this Thanksgiving episode of My Life Is a Movie, I revisit the woman who held my entire family together — my grandmother. Before she passed, the holidays felt full: the food, the laughter, the aunties talking loud, the warmth in the room… everything felt connected.

After she was gone, everything changed — quietly but permanently.

I share what it felt like growing up around strong women, how Grandma kept the family steady, and how losing the linchpin affects everyone in ways you don’t notice until years later.

This episode is part storytelling, part gratitude, and part healing. If you’ve ever lost the person who held your family together, this one is for you.

In this episode, I open up about one of the hardest parts of healing: letting go of people, situations, and versions of myself that no longer serve me.

I talk about the wounds we carry without realizing it, why I hold on even when I know I shouldn’t, and the moment I finally understood that reciprocity, self-respect, and peace matter more than comfort.

This isn’t advice. This isn’t a lecture. This is me healing out loud — talking through disappointment, boundaries, growth, and choosing myself even when it hurts.

If you’ve ever held on too long… this episode will hit home.

🎧 Tap in, vibe with me, and let’s grow together.

In this episode, I talk about what it feels like to try to get my life together while still figuring out who I’m becoming. I’m learning Spanish (again), trying to get healthier, trying to build better habits, and trying to push myself out of the comfort zones I’ve been stuck in.

I break down what it’s like starting over as an adult — the pressure, the motivation, the setbacks, and the weird in-between stage of wanting more but not always knowing how to get there.

This episode is for anybody who’s growing, healing, learning something new, trying to get their health right, or just trying to move forward even when life feels messy.

It’s not about having it all together — it’s about fumbling forward anyway.

In this episode, I take you through the full journey of my education arc — a story that feels less like school… and more like a movie. From a small-town classroom where I ranked 109 out of 110, to bouncing between more than ten different jobs, to getting dismissed from college not once but twice, every chapter felt like a plot twist I wasn’t prepared for.

But this is also the story of momentum, second chances, comeback seasons, and refusing to let the credits roll too early. From riding three buses a day just to get to community college, to clawing my way back to UAlbany, to finally crossing that graduation finish line — exhausted, crawling, but determined — this episode is about perseverance, growth, mindset, and building a future even when the script seems stacked against you.

If you need motivation, if you’ve ever felt behind, or if you’re writing your own comeback story, this one’s for you. Press play — the next scene starts now.

In this episode, I open up about what it feels like to live an “average” life — not a bad one, not a broken one, just an ordinary, stable, doing-pretty-well life — and why that still leaves me feeling unfinished.

I talk about entering my forties, watching friends build families and futures, and trying to figure out what progression looks like for me. I unpack the pressure to “be further,” the comparisons we make to people who started life ahead of us, and that inner itch to want more even when you’re grateful for what you have.

This is a real reflection on being stable but stuck, grateful but still hungry, and learning that average doesn’t mean done — it just means the story isn’t finished yet.

In this first episode, I’m just talking my talk. I introduce who I am, where I’m at in life, and what I’m trying to grow through. Work, habits, weight goals, love life (or lack of one), anime, music, all of it. This podcast is basically me figuring life out in real time. If you’re going through your own story arc, welcome. Let’s move together.

ASLO: The audio will get better I promise lol

This week, I’m keeping it real about love, lessons, and letting go. I talk about realizing how much I gave to someone who didn’t give it back, learning to set boundaries, and finding balance between caring for others and protecting my peace. It’s honest, funny, and just a little painful ,but that’s growth, right?

…But after all that said .....will I go back? 😅 Stay tuned.
