Life in Progress

Why do we care so much about what other people say? Simple - it’s because we search for validation in what we do, if our actions are correct, if what we wear is nice, and the list goes on and on. I’ve learned that in reality though, nobody really cares as much as we think people do. Let’s always remember, that as long as you are comfortable with yourself and that you know you are doing a good job...

It’s strange because people often think I have it all together. The reality is that I struggle a lot, especially when it comes to men and love. This is normal, and we are all trying to figure it out. We have so many “Why’s” we want the answer to. The whole pandemic in the Philippines I had my own “whys” to figure out. I was seeking for answers as to why the man I loved did some things to me. Why d...

I turned 30 this 2021. And I swear, it was a roller coaster of emotions, my life was turned upside down, and I was definitely pushed to the limit as a person and a businesswoman. As if this pandemic wasn’t enough of a challenge, the universe kept throwing more at me to test how strong I am and to see what will make me give up. But you know what? I don’t ever give up. Amidst the pandemic and everyt...

I’m living my dream in Madrid. But at the same time I’m confused and lost while still happy and fulfilled. Is it normal to feel all these emotions at the same time? I guess yes? All our feelings are valid, the positive and the negative, and it’s crucial to feel these emotions for our growth and progress. There will be days when you think you know what you’re doing, then one day you wake up, and yo...

This year I finally decided to take a different path when it comes to education, and how I want to grow more as an individual and an entrepreneur. I took the first step to move to Madrid, to enroll in the # 1 business school in Europe, and to just go with the flow. I am not sure where life will take me from here, but I am learning to live in the present and enjoy what’s right in front of me. On my...

Nobody was trained to deal with the pandemic, it hit us all so hard in every way possible. When I met Brother Bo in El Nido, I was going through some of the worst days of my life, I didn’t know what was happening to my life and where I wanted to go. Talking to him gave me clarity and made me realize how far I’ve come and why I should keep going. We have all been through so much, but this time, you...

Life is full of rejections and challenges, but the only person who should never give up on you is yourself. The more you push yourself to do hard things and to overcome the failures, the more capable you become of dealing with the storms in life. Nobody will save us, only you can help make the journey a bit easier. You are the captain of your own life, everybody else is just passengers, so make su...

We make many mistakes in this lifetime, but sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves and we go back again and again to what destroyed us. Life is a continuous journey, and we will fail countless times. In order to live a happy and free life, it’s important that we learn to forgive ourselves, just like how we put in the effort to forgive others. You are your best friend and #1 supporter in everythi...

Dreams are scary, but it’s also the fuel of life to keep going at any age. In a world with endless possibilities, we are free to make anything happen. As long as we put our hearts into our dreams, everything is possible beyond anything you could ever imagine. The life I’ve lived, and living at this very moment, was once just a dream. How? I work on it every single day. The thing is, life has no fi...

We often struggle to accept ourselves because we are constantly changing. Outgrowing hurts, but this is one of the most important parts of the progress in life. Self-acceptance is a continuous process, and the more we understand this makes everything easier in accepting our flaws and to continue enjoying our lives in every stage we step in to. For me, life has always been divided into several stag...

I know it seems easy but this has always been planned and I have saved up for this, I've always wanted to go somewhere to start over just like my parents did 31 years ago when they moved to the Philippines. I am a very open-minded person with a curious mind craving for new adventures and a challenging life. I knew I would never grow in an environment where I spent my entire life, with all that com...

On this episode, I've invited one of my mentors from when I was just starting Access Travel 10 years ago. Often times, being an entrepreneur is glamorized by many people in books, social media, and other platforms by telling everyone that it's easy but is it really for everyone? I personally think that this is also like every other profession, because there are so many learning experiences involve...

New season is here because I am progressing and I am no longer the person I was when I started this episode. Now, I am stronger with better stories that I want to share to help you progress with me. Life changes so fast, the only thing we can do is keep adapting and use all the lessons learned for a better future. I am a firm believer of change and how we are always meant to upgrade for us to move...

Life has progressed so much since I started my podcast journey last February. As promised, every chapter and lesson will be shared with my community here. Change is the only permanent thing in this life and things get easier when we learn to accept that and let go of our expectations, controlling things that no longer serve us is the main cause of unhappiness for me. I hope my top 5 life lessons w...

We’re often very affected by the comments of others around us, we like seeking validation for what we wear, how we look like, and why we feel certain feelings. There’s no end line here, the only thing we can do as imperfect human beings is that we accept that we cannot be perfect and will never be capable of everything, this is why we progress with self-love to keep going no matter how hard life g...

Passive income is something that would help us in difficult terms, especially in the time of a pandemic. 3 months ago I decided to put half of my savings into cryptocurrency and fast forward to today I was able to pay some of my school expenses from the money that I’ve made from the appreciation of the coins. Everything in life is about taking risks, so I just decided to make my money grow here in...

And just like that, we're back to day 1 of lockdown. I think the only thing we can control is how we respond to these things and try to upgrade our self-care. Our situation sometimes steal the best of us, we try and try to be better under all circumstances but sometimes it feels like we’re not progressing. I’ve failed in my relationship, friendships, businesses and a lot more but this also taught...

Life is beautiful, painful, mysterious, dangerous and everything you can imagine all compressed in one journey. We normally have timelines in our heads and how we should end up but life has strange ways of showing us what we deserve in the end. I believe that people with pure hearts always win in the end. Believing in ourselves and not losing touch with what matters the most help us live a happy a...

Before the pandemic, people always ask me how I managed to run my business while traveling the world. I was almost never in the Philippines physically while building my 10-year-old company. In this episode, I have shared some tips on working remotely, using the right multivitamins and supplements, and why we need to accept the fact that we will fail and at some point, we’re all capable of becoming...

Life has been hard for all of us. I’ve been planning this move for 6 years now and I wasn’t ready for higher education before because of other priorities that took over. This time, I am ready to get out of my comfort zone and explore everything else that I have yet to discover. The world is too big to force ourselves to love things that we’ve already outgrown. The beauty of life is that we’re alwa...

Life is about moving forward no matter how hard it gets. Remember, there's always something good waiting for us if we embrace change. Why stop when there's a million opportunities for us to stay inspired and motivated? It’s not all rainbows and unicorns but we have the power to pick ourselves up every time we fall and start again. We’re allowed to rest but not stop, I am moving to Spain at the age...

In a world full of choices, we get overwhelmed on which direction to go to. Do we choose career? Love? Or passion? In this episode, I've invited Jodi to talk about the choices she's been making to give herself happiness, purpose and success. Everyone is different, each and everyone of us come from a different story. The gift of travel and wisdom never expires and no one can ever take that away fro...

Relationships, staying in love, and growing together are hard work. Not to mention working on yourself at the same time. But despite all of this, we have chosen to commit because nothing will be meant for you if we don’t make the right decisions. In this week's episode, I've invited Bela to talk more about growing in her career while her partner is also busy navigating his way in this thing called...

Losing my dad at an early age inspired me to do greater things in life. One of which is traveling the world, building a strong business, choosing myself and having the freedom to do anything I want. My mom did a good job on raising me and I want to dedicate this episode to my parents because without them, I wouldn't be the woman that I am today. DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by the...

Often times, we don’t realize what we eat affects how we are from the outside. In this busy world, we tend to choose the easier path because we are getting used to everything instant but long-term success in any form comes from the small difficult decisions we make every single day. For instance, how much and which sugar we will use for our coffee, to walk or take the car and so on. These simple c...
