  • The Truth About Filipino Crab Mentality

    Whew, Mga Mars… this episode got a little too real. 😅 In this episode of Pinay Millenials Unfiltered Podcast, Denise and JoJo are talking about crab mentality, betrayal, and the kind of hurt that hits different when it comes from fellow Pinoys you genuinely trusted.

    From subtle competition and shady energy to feeling unsupported by your own people, we’re sharing personal stories, realizations, and the hard truth about outgrowing certain friendships and circles. Because sometimes the people cheering the loudest in front of you… aren’t always rooting for you behind your back. 👀

    Messy? A little. Healing? Hopefully. Relatable? Unfortunately, yes.

  • I Loved You, But You Were Draining Me

    In this follow-up to We Can’t Be Friends, Denise and JoJo share more personal stories and get honest about the friendships that took more than they gave. We’re talking draining dynamics, hard realizations, and what it looked like to finally put a period on relationships that were no longer healthy for us. If you’ve ever had to choose peace over history, protect your energy, or love someone from a distance… Mga Mars, this one might hit close to home. 💛

  • Are We Starting To Become Our Moms?

    At what age do you officially start becoming your mom?

  • We Can't Be Friends

    In this episode of Pinay Millennials Unfiltered, JoJo and Denise get real about the friendships that shaped us, the ones that held us down, the ones that challenged us, and even the ones we had to outgrow. We’re talking about the lessons we didn’t realize we were learning at the time… and how those experiences quietly defined how we show up for our friends today.

    From loyalty and growing pains to setting boundaries (and actually honoring them), we unpack what it means to love your people without losing yourself. Because let’s be honest, not all friendships are meant to last forever, but every single one teaches you something.

    We’re sharing our stories in the hopes that you feel seen, understood, and maybe even a little more confident in protecting your peace.

    If you’ve ever had to choose yourself, rethink a friendship, or redefine what “being a good friend” looks like… this one’s for you. 💛

  • The Influence of Talk Shows and Our Own Celebrity Run-Ins

    Mga Mars and Pars… let’s be honest, talk shows raised us 😌
    From iconic interviews to viral moments, dun talaga na-build yung idea natin of what celebrities are supposed to be. But what happens when you actually run into them in real life? We’re sharing our own celeb brush-up stories, some cute, some awkward, and some na parang… yun na yon? 👀

  • Why Is Sex Such A Taboo In The Philippines?

    Mga Mars, let’s talk about it… 👀

    In this episode, Denise and JoJo dive into the unspoken, the awkward, and the deeply ingrained—why sex is still such a taboo topic in Filipino culture. From growing up in conservative households to the influence of Catholic Church and traditional values, we unpack how silence shaped our understanding of intimacy, relationships, and even our own bodies.

    We’re sharing personal stories, cultural observations (with a side of the Alvin Arragon controversy!!!), and the things we wish we were taught earlier. Because let’s be real—being curious doesn’t make you disrespectful, and having conversations like this? It’s long overdue.

    This is your safe space to listen, reflect, and maybe even unlearn a few things.

    In this episode, we get into:

    • Growing up with “don’t talk about it” energy
    • Shame vs. education around sex
    • Double standards between men and women
    • How Filipino upbringing impacts adult relationships
    • Reclaiming confidence, curiosity, and open conversations

    Press play if you’ve ever had questions but didn’t know where to ask.

  • Ep 16. Halloween Special: Ang Manggagamot

    In this episode, we sit down with a Pinay millennial albularyo who’s redefining what it means to heal, believe, and belong in a world that’s both digital and deeply spiritual.

    She talks about:
    ✦ Ancient Filipino healing rituals — reborn for a new generation
    ✦ How energy, faith, and trauma intertwine
    ✦ The unseen forces that still shape our lives today

    👁️‍🗨️ Real talk: You don’t have to “believe” to feel it.

    Mindful. Mysterious. Medyo nakakatakot. But very, very Filipino. 🇵🇭
