Episode 32 is the first installment of a 3-part series which tackles unique, if not unusual practices of a modern couple. For this episode, we are joined with Sirk and Tara, who will share their views on what should be the present-day approach for couples with exes, what is the set up for their children, why ego should be chucked out and on how to make things flow smoothly and lighter. 

For the next 3 weeks, let us open our minds and see these options discussed by Sirk and Tara. We might learn a thing or two and may ease complicated set ups.   

We are so excited to proceed with this episode. It's just so positive that it fits as our comeback episode. We haven't been so productive as podcasters for the past 8 months and we apologize for the long wait but we really tried our best, it's just that we were so occupied since last October. 

For today's episode, we have Jenny Francisco, a former human resource manager turned yoga instructor and practitioner, to talk about passion income, her pathway towards wellbeing and her love for yoga. She will also talk about an upcoming event in the City of Pines on the 19th of June, to be held in Baguio Convention Center, entitled: Hilom 2022- International Day of Yoga. 

Please listen to our long postponed comeback. We hope that you have missed our voices :)
