Calling all entrepreneurs! I’ve been asked to ho

Calling all entrepreneurs! I’ve been asked to host a Mental Health series for entrepreneurs in January. It’s an 8-Week (virtual) program FREE of charge via the California Capital Women’s Business Center - who’s mission is to secure economic justice and entrepreneurial opportunities for women by providing training, mentoring, business development and financing opportunities.⁣
⁣
The theme I’ve crafted “Preparing for Harvest” (I’m proud of this thang 😭🥲) to provide entrepreneurs with the tools to manage their mental health and prepare for a fruitful 2022. ⁣
⁣
In this series we’ll have: ⁣
✅ networking ⁣
✅ coaching ⁣
✅ modules⁣
✅ worksheets⁣
✅ group learning ⁣
⁣
With the objectives of:⁣
⁣
✅ reducing overwhelm ⁣
✅ lowering stress levels ⁣
✅ avoiding burnout ⁣
✅ managing imposter syndrome ⁣
⁣
Go to @cacapitalfdc for more info! Registration opens December 11th, and the first meeting of the series starts January 14th. ⁣
⁣
Get your gloves cuz we’re preparing for a fruitful 2022 okkuuuuurt 🌽🥕🍅🌱⁣
⁣
See you there!

Woke up to 10,000 downloads for my podcast 😭😭😭 (yes I went to the store immediately to get these lmao)⁣
⁣
Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who has tuned in, listened, shared it with friends, family, coworkers, on your stories, sent me dms and emails. ⁣
⁣
The fact that I reached 10,000 in only 16 episodes and only 9 months into podcasting is fuckin wild. ⁣
⁣
I get extremely vulnerable on each episode, in fact I consider it my little diary, so when I get messages that say I speak to your soul that means the world to me. I share my stories so that they can be roadmaps for others to navigate through life. ⁣
⁣
I have so much gratitude for my supporters since this was a huge (and not to mention SCARY) project I took a leap on.⁣
⁣
This reminds me of a post I wrote back in 2019– peep the next slide. ⁣
⁣
“I have no doubt I’ll create waves and shake seas to eventually change the world one day.”—-

Ranked top 1% of podcasts in my genre in 6 different countries. Those ripples definitely turned into waves…⁣
⁣
Lookout world,⁣
Cuz I’m just getting started.⁣
⁣
⁣

Thank you x a million. ❤️

Tis the season of unsolicited advice and comments

Tis the season of unsolicited advice and comments about weight and career choices ✨

I’ve done a general boundary one but I wanted to do one that hits home lol.

As the holidays are approaching I know that some of you may have anxiety around comments and questions from family members, so I made this list of boundaries to keep in your back pocket. ⁣
⁣
Also please note that I’m not saying that EVERY Filipino gathering needs these. I created this list from my personal experiences, my clients, friends, family, etc. These are the most common ones.⁣
⁣—

Tip: I always tell my clients that it’s helpful to pre-write the boundaries out (like in your Notes app) so that you can look at them before stepping into a party! (Feel free to save this post too or screenshot to reference this week and moving forward!)⁣
⁣
Setting boundaries is tough, especially when boundaries can be viewed as “disrespect” to who we’re setting them with. Stay firm anyways. ⁣
⁣
You teach people how to treat you/talk to you by deciding what you will and won’t accept. ☝🏻⁣
⁣
Just because it’s the norm does NOT mean that it’s okay. ⁣
⁣
It’s time to finally stand up for ourselves. Let’s break the toxic things in our culture. It can start with us.⁣
⁣
Your energy, mental health and peace are far more important than someone’s feelings.

As the year comes to a close, there’s going to b

As the year comes to a close, there’s going to be a lot of posts about what people have achieved this year and although I love love love when people celebrate themselves, this is also a reminder that you are not your achievements.⁣
⁣
This was something something I had to reinforce with myself over the years, especially being a daughter of immigrants.⁣
⁣
Not to mention living in a capitalistic society that promotes toxic hustle culture.⁣
⁣
I was forced to redefine my ideas of self-worth. I realized that chasing my worth based on one accomplishment after another was making me miserable.⁣
⁣
I had to learn that my worth runs so much deeper than what I can prove through achievement. I had to learn that I am worthy simply because I exist, and nothing more. ☝🏻⁣
⁣
If you resonate with this post we talk about this on episode 15 & 16 “Detaching Your worth from Self-Sacrifice and High-Achievement as a Child of an Immigrant” with the amazing @mariela.delamora on my podcast “The Glow Up Season”- streaming on all platforms! Also link in bio for a shortcut to find it ✨

To move forward, we must first make peace with our past.⁣
⁣
Hate is a strong word, but it was the exact word I used before I started my self love journey years ago. ⁣
⁣
I hated my childhood trauma that turned me into a magnet for toxic relationships. I hated that I was taken advantage of in one-sided friendships. I hated being poor. I hated all the mistakes younger me was too naive to avoid.⁣
⁣
They say that you often times can’t feel the weight of something until you part ways with it, and it wasn’t until I learned self-forgiveness that I knew that to be true.⁣
⁣
I was moving through life feeling heavy. Not only carrying around past experiences, but carrying them with shame, guilt, and regret.⁣
⁣
I would replay situations over and over again in my mind. I was held hostage by always reviewing and reliving my mistakes. ⁣
⁣
I came to learn that the weight of it all was actually what was keeping me stagnant in my growth journey. ⁣
⁣
Without forgiveness we are tethered to our past.⁣
⁣
I began to practice more self-compassion and reacquainted myself with the younger version of me to give her the kindness and the love she needed back then.⁣
⁣
Instead of judging her I looked at her as a human who makes mistakes and who was doing the best she could at the time with what she had.⁣
⁣
Loving myself meant loving on ALL different versions of me. Past and present.⁣
⁣
Now I look back with the knowing that my story was not written to destroy me, but carefully crafted for my highest good.⁣
⁣
Forgiveness doesn’t change the past, but it takes the chains off to finally allow us to move forward.⁣
⁣
❤️⁣
—⁣
⁣
If you wanna learn how to part ways with resentment and make peace with your past, I would love to show you the way. We tackle self-kindness and self-forgiveness in week 7 of my 12-week program. I announced this on my story this week but a few of my clients just graduated so I have a few spots open to close the 2021 year ✨

If you’re up for hearing more about the program DM me or go to the link in my bio to book a free call. 💗

One of my clients sent me a video earlier of a ree

One of my clients sent me a video earlier of a reel of a couple smiling and laughing together and the caption said “when you’re in a healthy relationship after being in toxic ones.” Although I loved the video, it’s actually quite the opposite.⁣
⁣
Nobody really talks about this but the reality is: the first healthy relationship after toxic ones is always the hardest. I can co-sign this because I’m living this right now.⁣
⁣
Lots of smiling and laughing, yes. ⁣
⁣
But it’s also triggering. ⁣
It’s resurfacing of generational trauma. ⁣
It’s parent wounds. ⁣
⁣
It’s calming your nervous system down because the absence of chaos seems suspicious (because when you grow up in chaos, chaos feels like home).⁣
⁣
It’s learning to cope with hyper-vigilance because you’ve been hurt so many times.⁣
⁣
It’s pain.⁣
It’s re-parenting.⁣
It’s processing trauma.⁣
⁣
It’s a lot of tears, a lot of mistakes, a lot of trial and error.⁣
⁣
But most importantly, it’s self-accountability. ⁣
⁣
It’s growth. ⁣
It’s celebrating resiliency after stumbles and hurdles and detours.⁣
It’s teamwork.⁣
⁣
Not to mention a lot a lot a lot of forgiveness.⁣
⁣
A lot of compassion.⁣
A lot of understanding and empathy.⁣
⁣
My boyfriend told me that people often say “yin and yang”- but it’s actually “yin yang”— the two aren’t separated. ⁣
⁣
This ancient symbol of harmony reminds us that life is a balancing act and most fulfilling when we learn to embrace its dualities:⁣
⁣
The ups & downs.⁣
The light & the dark.⁣
The joys & the challenges.⁣
⁣
This is your friendly reminder that when you see pics of happy couples and white picket fences online, know that you are only seeing one side of the coin.⁣
⁣
Social media is everyone’s highlight reel. ⁣
It’s polished, touched up, and created for audiences.⁣
⁣
Remember that both the yin and the yang are needed for the whole to be complete. ⁣
⁣
Don’t believe everything you see online. ⁣
⁣
