In a recent episode of Super Laftrip on Radyo Biñan 87.9 FM, hosted by my good friend Annie Batumbakal, I opened up about a season of my life that was especially challenging.

Annie and I also talked about the everyday challenges so many of us deal wit...

I’m so excited to be back to producing content for my podcast. In this episode, I want to talk about something that feels very real for me right now: slowing down, stepping away for a bit, and coming back with a different perspective. I’ve been on a bit of a semi-hiatus, and during that time I kept asking myself a familiar question. When results are slow, does that mean it’s time to quit? What I’v...

Last month, I attended Jack Canfield's 3-day Breakthrough to Success in Irvine, California. It was such an amazing event and I met a lot of interesting people! One of those is the author of the book, Bird Food for Life, Larry "Bob" Plant.

When failure hits, it's really hard to get back up and carry on. I can totally relate because I've been there. It can take away our motivation. The worst part is, failure will always be there and no one is immune to it. But how do successful people overcome failure? In this episode, I share with you 3 practical tips so you too can practice persistence. I also share a very important mindset...

Do you know that most successful people do not rely on motivation alone? It's because motivation isn't really practical by itself. You don't see results, that's why you eventually run out of motivation to achieve the things you're aiming for. So what do they do? In this episode, I share with you the Rule of 5. This is one of the powerful tools in the arsenal of these successful...

Friend, how are you with your goals this year? Time really flies so fast, no? One day we we're celebrating the new year, now we're almost halfway through the year. Have you moved forward already or are you still stuck? You know I can totally relate if it looks like you're still far away from achieving them. I also have goals where I feel I'm stuck. So what do we do? The problem is...

Just a few months ago, I shared with you the importance of decluttering, how clutter can adversely affect our way of thinking and worse, hinder our progress by limiting our true potential. But I get, it's not easier said than done, especially if you're faced with a mountain of clutter or there are many things in your life that you feel like you just can't let go of. I know! It can be v...

It's so sad that even within our very family or circle of friends, we can be bogged down by limiting beliefs being thrown at us. In fact this is very common that we often end up in a path that's not really for us. Parents, relatives or even friends telling us what we should be pursuing because we can't succeed in the path that we want, sounds familiar? In this episode, I share with you...

It's a very common theme that whenever we venture into something new, we are so pumped at the beginning, full of energy and feeling that we can conquer anything! But then, we reach a point where we face difficult challenges and we seem to lose the motivation to push forward. And this applies very much to achieving our goals. When faced with big, giant blocks of obstacles, we tend to give up, often...

It's the second month of the year! How are you in terms of your goals this year? You know sometimes we find it hard to get closer to our goals simply because we are not really clear about it. We often fall into traps like analysis paralysis, "is this really what I want?", "I think that one is better", "I want what they're having." Setting goals is one thing. B...

As we continue on with our new year, feeling pumped up and ready to take on the world, somehow there are small things that get in the way. My friend, sometimes it's the clutter around us that distracts us and eventually holds us back. In this episode, I show you how the clutter around us can hinder our progress and limit our potential. But more importantly, I show you what you can do to help y...

It's the new year! And as cliche as it may sound, most of us are really pumped up to take on our goals! But is it really that easy? The moment we look at how big our dreams and goals are and all the challenges along the way, some of us immediately feel discouraged. But do you know that one of the secrets to achieving our dreams and goals lie buried in the small routines we do everyday? Yes, my...

In this episode, I was so blessed to be able to interview the founder and owner of The Yam Project, Ms. Joan Lim. She started the business not very long ago, coming from the corporate world in an unrelated field. In our conversation, she shares the lessons she learned though her journey of transitioning into entrepreneurship and establishing The Yam Project. We talk about her inspiration and her d...

Sometimes we feel so overwhelmed by everything that's going on with our life that we THINK we don't have time for self-improvement. You know, like becoming healthier, enhancing skills, learning new things, reading a book. We always find ourselves setting it aside for "later" because life gets in the way. But then we never get back to it. In this episode I show you why it's a myth that 'you don't h...

If you want to achieve something then day dream about it. Sounds ridiculous, right? But do you know that there's actually sense in that? Yes, that's right! Day dreaming can actually be a good thing! Well not just day dreaming, but dreaming and visualizing what you want to have in your life! In this episode I'll show you one of the powerful tools you can use so you can be closer to your...

Early this month, I started doing The Better Me Project: 120 Days of Intentional Living. I was reflecting on my goals and I was saddened by how far I still am from them. Then it hit me. I wasn't paying attention to the most important part of the journey! This project is designed to help you make simple and easy baby steps as you move forward to your goals. And I encourage you to join me in thi...

Feeling tired, overwhelmed, or like your goals are slipping away because life is pulling you in too many directions? I get it.

In our conversation, I share my journey: from my career, becoming a joyful servant of God, and my dive into the world of public speaking and podcasting. Annie and I talk about our motivations to keep doing what we're doing as well...

It's really unfair when life throws a lot on us, right? So do we just start pointing our fingers when things get really tough? But there isn't really anyone we can blame. We are all responsible for what's happening in our life. No one else! In this episode, I talk about how you can take control of your own life by taking full responsibility. Yes! Even when what's happening around y...

I'm sure you've heard about the so-called 'power of words' right? They say that positive words can greatly impact even the physical well-being of people. But do you know that there's an actual proof to this? In this episode, I replicate the experiment of Dr. Masaru Emoto and I show you how positive and negative words really do affect the things around us. More importantly, I sh...
