The Darn Diaries

2020 was challenging, especially for my family and me, as we struggled financially and lost those we hold dear to the pandemic. When I spiraled out of control and hit rock bottom, I had two choices: stay down or get back up, and I think we both know which option I chose.  And yes, I, too, developed bad habits in the past that included watching p*rn, and it's not something that I'm proud of, b...

My brother and I were casually having a conversation and along the lines of our chat, we came down to the question: "What's the f*cking point?" And I decided to have a go at this and turned my voice memo into an episode. I hope it helps and to my friend, Davly, I'm sorry lol. 

When climbing to the top, it's easy to get carried away and lose yourself amidst all the stairs and hurdles you went through. I think talking to yourself like you would to a friend helps a LOT. This episode helped me re-center myself and remember why I'm doing what I'm doing today. I hope you can take a thing or two out of this deep-talk sesh and that it can help you no matter how little.  An...

For those of you who don't know, I recently got a job offer as an IT Communications Coop. It's my first (ever) 9-5 job, and I thought I'd just share how I got here and what it feels like. Enjoy! 

I was feeling a little anxious about my second job interview, considering I failed my first, so I decided to speak my mind out before the big day. I turned out to do well in that interview and got the job I wanted as an IT communications co-op! Hope you learn a thing or two, enjoy! 

Sometimes, you're all you've got, and sometimes, that's all you'll ever need. Here's my debut episode of my new WeeklySnips series. WeeklySnips is the more weekly diary kind of feel and much more compressed (considering that I'm now working). I hope I can keep this up, but here goes nothing.  Hope you enjoy! 

Alright, hello, and welcome to season 2! It's been a roller coaster in my personal life, and I had to step aside from podcasting. But, after months and months of work and school, I finally have something cooked just for ya. As 2021 comes to an end, I think self-reflection is key to help set yourself up towards growth, and that's what today's episode is all about. Here's a quick rundown:  Topi...

On this last episode of the season, I'd like to personally thank each and every single one of you for tuning in (no matter how brief), it means the world to me. It's been quite the journey, and I'm glad to have you alongside me from A to Z.  This final episode will be touching on our world's flawed rewarding system , second chances , life and how you play it , hard work + intentions .  ...

As the season comes to an end, let me say thank you to every one of you for tuning in despite your hustling and bustling lives. This will be part 1 of the season finale (don't cry) as I don't want anyone to listen to my boring ass voice for a whole hour.  In this week's episode, I'll be highlighting how to screw a common enemy we all know as Procrastination, the relationship between money &am...

The title pretty much speaks for itself on what this week's episode covers. Quick backstory: I started my venturing back in August 2020, made myself a good routine but oftentimes, I neglect the fact that it was meant to be evolved not maintained.  Hope you enjoy and as always, thanks for listening! 

This week's episode highlights an odd addiction of mine since the pandemic started (no, it's not what you think), a simple rule of thumb to make decisions (in anything) in a snap, and revived a little bit of my old high school reputation as a "love advisor" (if you cringed, I did too, but here we are). The last point should be somewhere in the last 5 minutes, so please feel free to do so if you'd...

This week's episode is quite the stretch, but for a good reason, of course. To those who intend to stand by or stood by until the end, thank you 3000!  Hope you enjoy it and stay tuned for the next episode! Cheers. 

Decided to add on a little more spice for you from this episode onwards. In this session, I go brutally honest on how I see parenting today vs how I think it should be, know that you're not the best but different, why I started this podcast, and a few other jazzy life bits. 2 weeks ago, it was pure honesty, but from now on, we get real. Let's get to it, shall we?

In 2020, I had to undergo unexpected mental hurdles that I never thought I'd face, from dealing with the pandemic, losing loved ones, and even losing myself. This is the first time I could finally think out loud comfortably and share them with you. In this episode, I tackle self-check-up, pacing, tone-setting, and focus. Cheers.
