Tita Project Podcast

We are very lucky to have with us, Astrologer to the cool Titos and Titas of the Philippines, Bunny Caminade! It seems everybody who is serious about growth and gaining self-awareness has already gone to Bunny, or is due for a reading. It comes as no surprise that he is sought after, because his take on astrology is so in depth, and mindfully prepared, it’s the gift that keeps on giving! Not to me...

Let’s talk about the art of letting go, the concept of sayang, and how we can attract the good and thrive in an imperfect life when we relax our hold on what’s familiar. When Tin came across Cherie Altea’s post on Facebook about how sayang is a term of endearment in Singapore, but refers to wastefulness in the Philippines, it got us thinking about life and how our world view shapes our lives. In h...

It’s 2024 and if there’s one thing both astrologers and business leaders agree on, it’s that 2024 is going to be a pivotal year. Astrologer or finance guy, they collectively seem to agree the shifts will be subtle but the impact will forever change the way things are done - and to quote visionary investor Ray Dalio, these changes will be felt in markets, economies, domestic and world order, geopol...

It’s the holidays and life can be cray! We don’t know about you, but among our Tita friends, there will always be someone who will say that as we’ve aged, they have developed a sense of compassion for The Grinch and Mr. Scrooge. Is it wisdom or is it simply waking up from the commercial conditioning that Christmas has wrought upon us? After all, when all the gifts have been given and opened and th...

We always ask our listeners to suggest topics and “urgency culture” came about. That got us thinking, “What is the right level of urgency and how do we protect ourselves against the demands of urgency culture?” Because older Titas like us have no sense of urgency as you can see by our intermittent episodes, LOL, we thought of interviewing somebody young with the right mix of being responsible and...

Have you met your inner child? Apparently, whether you are a parent or happily child-free, we all have that inner child that needs to be nurtured. Although as the meme goes, some claim it’s an inner old lady who says inappropriate things and judges everyone. LOL.Seriously though, inner child or inner old lady, we all need to connect to that part of ourselves that still has that childlike innocence...

Let’s talk about the big, scary monster under our bed that we all know as Trauma. Joining us is Teacher Yen Belarmino -Nikolic. She is a trauma-Informed Yoga practitioner and educator who started yoga as a spiritual practice in 2008. With a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology, Yen has a longstanding involvement with women’s human rights advocacy in the Philippines. A staunch advocate of yoga...

We love it when we come across thought provoking ideas. Something that makes us pause and think deep, beyond the usual everyday decisions we make. When we came across the children’s book, “What The Sun Says To The Moon”, we admit, we didn’t really have the imagination to visualize these two celestial bodies talking, or to even think about the kind of conversation they would be having. Ano kaya pin...

This month of March, we celebrate Women! The Philippine Commission on Women sees Women’s Month as a venue to “highlight women’s achievements and discuss continuing and emerging women’s empowerment and gender equality issues and concerns, challenges, and commitments.”On this episode, we talk to Jasmine Baac, head of legal and external affairs for a fast moving consumer goods company. Outside of the...

New Year, same us! The collective sentiment it seems is that no one is buying into the “New Year, New Me” mindset anymore. Ever since we were kids, we have all been promising to change for the better whenever the New Year rolls by. This year, we are putting our foot down on resolutions, saying no to reinvention, but instead go deeper into self-exploration. On this episode, we talk to Kyla Centeno...

We’re about to close the second season of Tita Project and we love how our topics have evolved the last two years. We initially sought out to just learn about what’s new and what’s happening so we don’t become clueless Titas. But as we dug deeper into this life stage called Titahood, we realized that to truly not be clueless, we need to cultivate self-awareness. To become self-aware, we have to kn...

Today let’s talk about boundaries! Ano ba yan? Bakit ba nauuso ang concept na yan? “Uy tumaba ka!”, “Ang dami mong pimples, go to my derma!”, “When are you getting married?”, “Shouldn’t you have kids by now?” These remarks may seem harmless but are all examples of overstepping boundaries. We think it’s about time to unpack this issue. Even in the workplace, the lack of boundaries encroach professi...

In one of our earlier episodes on tidying, we talked about how important it was to have a home that feels like a sanctuary. After all, our collective experience where we had to spend most of our days at home, especially during the height of lockdown, brought many of us to the realization that our homes aren’t just a place to live in, it should also nurture us and inspire us. Today we’ve invited Ra...

When we started the Tita Project Podcast, we knew we had to have an episode dedicated to BTS and the Tita Army phenomenon. Whenever there’s a BTS concert or event, it’s like social media fires up and there’s a BTS frenzy happening, and its not just because of our kids, in fact the most enthusiastic fans seem to be our fellow Titas! Parang it’s the Beatlesmania all over again circa 2020s! Today, we...

If there’s a common thread in all our discussions last year, all roads lead to self-awareness. How do we pivot during challenging times? What kind of jewelry do we invest in? How do we listen to our body? Should we spend for cosmetic surgery? How do we tidy from the inside out? How do we find happiness in simple things? Key to answering all these questions is how well we know ourselves. But how do...

So friends, let’s talk about plants 🌿 Because whether you have a black thumb or you grow plants that are Planterina levels of lush, many of us have realized that taking care of plants is not just a curiosity or hobby, but a life skill! The benefits of taking care of plants range from a prettier space, better air quality to mood enhancing effects - lowering stress levels and anxiety and of course,...

It’s the holiday season! What better way to welcome Christmas and the New Year with plenty of cheer…✨ We’re talking Sta. Ana Gin guys! Have you heard of it? Have you tried it? We were immediately intrigued the first time we saw the bottle, and all the more when we found out that it has a Philippine flavor, the botanicals inspired by our country’s rich foliage - Ylang-Ylang, Alpinia, Calamansi and...

Whether your anxiety is through the roof, depression has been setting in or you just need a radical life changing moment, there’s one thing that can help, and it doesn’t cost anything. We’re talking about tidying! According to Tita MFO, tidying your space can help you get your dream job, leave a toxic relationship, find love, get your kids to do better in school and generally change your life and...

Let’s talk about makeup and beauty trends this time. Do you still put on makeup? Or have they been stored in your makeup pouch since 2020? Is doing your face still relevant since everyone is masked or staying home? Or is it a wonderful way to draw strength from? Remember how Hidilyn Diaz famously wore red lipstick during her Olympic event, saying it makes her feel confident when she wears it? Gany...

How do you Titas feel about aging? Let’s explore the world of derma treatments and at the same time, learn how to approach beauty and aging from a holistic perspective.

She recognizes the need for credible and effective solutions to rejuvenate...

For this episode, let’s escape naman! Pagod na din kami just talking about staying at home and the tense situation out there. What better way to escape than to talk about travel and beautiful bags! They may not be essentials now, but they are something to look forward to when things are safer, diba? For some brave souls in fact, travel is still a reality. That is why when we saw our friend Dennis...

Titas, let’s be honest. How often have you been working out since we all got stuck at home? Is working out a priority, something that you squeeze in when you have time or something you’ve completely abandoned? The pandemic has disrupted just about every aspect of our everyday lives — including our exercise routines. In this episode, we want to remind you of the importance of physical activity espe...

How are you feeling Titas? Let’s talk feelings, nothing more than feelings. Whatever you are feeling right now, know that all feelings are valid. More so now that we are living in unprecedented times, and what has been happening is affecting everyone worldwide. That is why we decided to invite Zarah Hernaez, a Mental Health advocate and Self-Love Coach to help us make sense of what we have been fe...
