Let's Keep Moving with Risha

Saying no isn’t always easy especially when it comes from family, relatives, or people you love. In this episode, I share a very personal story about how I learned to set healthy boundaries without feeling guilty and why protecting your peace is one of the most important skills you can build. If you’ve been struggling with people-pleasing, guilt, or pressure from family/relatives, this episode is...

Money talk on the podcast? Yup, finally! 🩵 In this episode, I’m opening up about something I don’t usually share here: my finances . I realized that when we talk about keeping moving in life , finances play such a huge role especially with how much they’re tied to our mental health and peace of mind. This isn’t financial advice, it’s just what works for me, and maybe it could spark something help...

Not every open door is meant for you… and sometimes, the hardest part is walking away from one that seems perfect. In this episode, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning during my OJT season, about making big decisions in my 20s, choosing values over titles, and why some opportunities (no matter how easy or “safe”) still aren’t the right fit. I’ll talk about three types of doors: the ones that look...

If you're in that in-between season, unsure, maybe even panicking a little, this one’s for you. I’m walking you through 5 truths that have helped me shift how I see purpose… and I hope they lift some of the pressure off your shoulders too. Because your purpose isn’t just one thing you find... it's who you're becoming along the way. 🛒 Know what I use https://linktr.ee/rishamarcellana 👋🏼 Be my fr...

Discipline used to feel like pressure. Waking up at 5AM, pushing myself to do hard things just to “prove” I could stay consistent. But in this episode, I’m sharing how my view of discipline has softened over time. I talk about the small shifts I’ve been making to build routines that feel like love , not punishment. If you’re in your 20s like me, trying to juggle growth, healing, purpose, and every...

In this episode, I’m sharing a message that has just sit with me today, about stepping out of the boat and into the unknown. I talk about how Peter took that first brave step toward Jesus, and how maybe, just maybe, God is waiting for us to do the same. It’s not always easy especially when we don’t feel ready, or when it seems safer to just stay where we are. But sometimes, the miracle we’re prayi...

This episode is straight from my heart to yours because if you’re in your 20s or in a season where everything feels uncertain, I get it. I’ve been having one of those weeks where I’m questioning everything- my direction, my timing, my decisions. And I wanted to create the exact episode I wish I had during those quiet, overthinking nights at 1 AM. In this one, I’m sharing what I’ve been learning ab...

Today’s episode is probably one of the most vulnerable ones I’ve done. I’m opening up about my real and messy journey with forgiveness especially the kind that doesn’t come easy. This isn’t about small misunderstandings… this is about the big betrayals, the heartbreaks that changed the way you love and trust, and the kind of wounds that stay with you for a long time. I’ll be sharing 3 hard but hea...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing some reflections after attending yet another life-changing retreat. I went into it feeling a little lost, unsure if I had anything left to give but I left feeling so full. Sometimes, we think we’re not ready to support others because of what we’re going through, but God always finds a way to remind us of how powerful, purposeful, and light-filled we are. 👋🏼 Be my...

We’re talking about something that a lot of people struggle with... trust . But not just trust in others… trust in yourself . Maybe you’ve already forgiven those who hurt you, but deep down, you’re still dealing with the aftermath of not listening to your gut, ignoring red flags, or betraying your own needs just to keep the peace. And that’s where the real wound lives, not in what they did, but in...

I realized fear isn’t always trying to stop us, it just wants to be heard. So today, we’re talking about how to listen to our fear without letting it lead. Whether it's fear of failure, rejection, or not being good enough, I hope this episode helps you name it, face it, and move through it. Because even with fear, you’re still deserving of the life you and God have talked about. 👋🏼 Be my friend...

Today’s episode comes from a moment of reflection after watching one of my favorite sermons from Elevation Church. I’ve been asking myself a big question lately, “ am I truly happy?” And maybe you’ve been there too. We’re so used to chasing happiness like it’s the goal, but I’m learning that there’s something deeper, something more steady and that is joy . Together, we’ll talk about the difference...

In this episode I’m letting you in on something really personal. I just came from a celebration, finally done with a big chunk of school and yet, I’ve been feeling all sorts of emotions. Joy, pressure, fear, hope… all at once. I know I’m not the only one who’s ever felt like they’re supposed to be happy but still overwhelmed. So today, I want to talk about how I’m learning to hold both (gratitude...

If you’ve ever felt guilty for dreaming bigger than what’s in front of you, or if you’ve ever wrestled with the cost of growth, this episode will hit home. I talk about mindset shifts, painful but powerful choices, my journey from contentment to conviction, and the beautiful mess of figuring life out while staying grounded. I hope it reminds you that where you started doesn’t define where you’re g...

In this episode, I’m letting you in on something personal — Jurenz and I just hit our 7th year together. It wasn’t fancy; I was with frogs, he was with his reviewers (classic us 😂). And as I reflect on our relationship, I realized how much we’ve grown, not just as a couple but as individuals. We got together so young, with no checklist, no big plans, just a gut feeling that he was God-sent . And...

Today’s episode is a heart-to-heart about something many of us struggle with but rarely talk about out loud— friendships that drift, fade, or end. I’m sharing a message from a listener, a story from my own recollections, and the honest truth that not all friendships are meant to last forever — and that’s okay. If you’ve ever wondered why certain friendships slipped away or how to navigate the grie...

Today, we’re diving into something we all have to face at some point— dealing with difficult people. Whether it’s classmates, coworkers, family, or even strangers, handling tough personalities can seriously drain your energy if you’re not careful. In this episode, I’m sharing real stories, lessons I’m still learning, and a few practical ways to protect your peace without losing yourself in the pro...

Today’s episode is a little more raw, a little closer to the heart. I’m sharing something I don’t really talk about with many people — the sadness, pressure, and “what's next?” questions that have been creeping in lately, especially with graduation season here. I’ll take you behind the scenes of what it’s like walking past graduation pictorials knowing I won’t be joining just yet, and how even tho...

If you’ve ever said “yes” when you really wanted to say “no,” this episode is for you. I know what it’s like to feel guilty for setting boundaries or worry about disappointing people. Today, I’m sharing simple, real-life strategies that helped me stop being a chronic people-pleaser and start honoring my own peace. If you’ve ever felt exhausted from always putting others first, I hope this episode...

I just finished my very first half-marathon, and honestly? It still feels surreal. I was never the sporty type, and growing up, I never imagined this body—my bulky calves, my slow pace, my insecurities—would carry me through 21 kilometers. But it did. And today, I want to share with you the story behind this run, what it taught me, and how it completely changed the way I see myself. In this episod...

Have you ever felt like no matter how hard you try to grow or move forward, you somehow keep getting in your own way? Same. In this episode, I’m talking about something I know we’ve all faced at some point— self-sabotage . That sneaky cycle that shows up as overthinking, procrastination, or constantly “waiting for the right time.” I’m opening up about the patterns I’ve caught myself in, and how fe...

I just got back from attending a recollection, and it hit me—it’s been 5 years since I last felt part of a community. For most of that time, I honestly enjoyed the freedom of figuring life out on my own. But recently, I’ve been reminded of something deeper: we’re not meant to do life alone . In this episode, I’m opening up about my journey with isolation, leadership, and what it really means to fi...

We all want success, but no one really talks about what it takes to get there. In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest lessons I’ve learned about chasing goals, staying humble, and redefining success on your own terms. 👋🏼 Be my friend Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Risha Marcellana⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rishamarcellana⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

I haven’t talked about relationships for a while, but today, I’m finally sharing some of the biggest lessons I’ve learned. My 7-year relationship went through a rough patch last year. I didn’t confirm anything at the time because I wanted to process it privately— but I’ve been reading your messages, and I know some of you are going through the same thing. I don’t want to just share what happened,...
