What Glass Ceiling?

Are you truly an empowered woman? Lia has a compelling discussion with multi-awarded social entrepreneur Reese Fernandez-Ruiz. Reese reveals how her experience of growing up in poverty and her current work with disenfranchised women have helped shape her view of empowerment, and how the realities of women show just how much more work needs to be done.

What is it like to be unapologetically you online? Lia chats with the fiercely outspoken Voice-over Artist, Inka Magnaye. Inka shares what it was like growing up in an industry where her parents cast a shadow, finding her own stride as a content creator, and navigating through the ups and downs of being so present on social media.

How do you navigate being a female in media? Lia swaps newsroom stories with current Editor-in-Chief of VICE in Asia Pacific, Natashya Guttierez. She talks about her formative years in a female-led newsroom, and how chasing stories, beating deadlines, dealing with danger, death threats, law suits, and sexual harassment has been part and parcel of her chosen path as a Filipina journalist.

Motherhood as a career? So much to discuss! In our very first episode, Lia is joined by a household name in Philippine showbiz, Nikki Gil-Albert. After making a conscious decision to leave the spotlight, she shares her journey of finding a home outside of showbiz, honoring her current season of being a wife and stay-at-home mom, and the power in making choices for yourself.
