Feeling like you're behind in life because you started your career or business later than others? You're not alone, ka-Kuda!
Society tells us we should have everything figured out by 30 - the perfect career, marriage, kids, and financial success. But in Filipino culture, these expectations are even more pronounced: "Bago ka mag 35 dapat may asawa at anak ka na." Sound familiar?
In this episode, Sheryl and Sariah share their own journeys of finding success after 30, pivoting during the pandemic, and discovering that there's no universal timeline for success. Whether you're 25, 35, or 45, this episode will shift your perspective on what it means to be "on time" in your own life.
What You'll Discover
✨ Why society's timeline doesn't define your success✨ Real stories of career pivots and business breakthroughs after 30✨ How the pandemic became a catalyst for unexpected opportunities✨ Practical steps to stop comparing yourself to others✨ The mindset shift that transforms "late" into "right on time"
Episode Timestamps
1:59 | Intro to the topic - Why we're talking about starting "late"
2:18 | Message from our ka-Kuda - "Feeling niya failure siya kase she started late and she's envious of the younger generations who started their freelancing career early"
2:53 | Pressure from Society - Breaking down the Filipino cultural expectations and invisible timelines we're all supposed to follow
4:08 | You are not late at 30 - Sheryl and Sariah share their freelancing career and business journeys
8:42 | Finding opportunity in crisis - When Sariah started her coaching business during the pandemic while everyone else was losing their businesses, she found hers
14:50 | Pivot power - How Sheryl found her way to pivot during pandemic
16:56 | Finding your own success - Why do you feel you are lost? How do you find your own success
Key Takeaways🎯 Filipino Cultural Expectations Don't Define Your Success
"Late doesn't mean you failed, or may mali kang ginawa" - Your journey is unique, and the cultural pressure to achieve certain milestones by specific ages doesn't account for your individual path.
💪 Crisis Creates Opportunity
The pandemic wasn't just a time of loss - it was also a time of discovery. While some businesses closed, others found their calling.
🌟 Your "Late" Might Be Your "Right Time"
What feels like being behind might actually be perfect timing for your specific circumstances, experience, and life situation.
Remember mga ka-KUDA:
Your timeline is not their timeline. Your success story doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Whether you're starting at 25, 35, or 55 - you're exactly where you need to be.
The question isn't "Am I late?" The question is "Am I ready to begin?"

"You can NEVER heal in the same place WHERE you got hurt."
🎧 Pangit daw tingnan kapag broken family. Eh bakit dumadami ang mga single moms?
Siguro ang pinaka dahilan ng decision ng mga babae to leave, ay mas stronger na sila ngayon, independent at nakikita nila ang value of having the peace of mind being single. To provide more context into being a single mom, Sheryl interviews her co-host Sariah who has been a single mom for three years. Hindi pa rin katagalan, pero maraming realizations si Sariah na gusto niyang i-share to everyone. And, mind you, this is the first time Sariah went public about her being a single mom.
This is very true, and that’s what Sariah realized when she decided to leave. It was never an easy decision and it took her years to finally come up with the decision. Madami siyang isinaalang-alang, gaya ng sasabihin ng tao, pero ang pinaka ultimate reason is to focus on her healing to become a healthy and mentally stable mom to her two boys.

"May hindi nagbayad sa amin, tinakbuhan kami na isang distributor. Almost 300,000 for me, ang laking amount na yun." - Sariah
"Nag-walling ako sa banyo. Umiyak talaga ako, hindi ko pinakita sa mga employees namin." - Sheryl
In this special Q&A episode, Sheryl and Sariah answered the most-asked questions from their Kakuda community. From starting a business with limited capital to dealing with betrayal from business partners, this episode is packed with raw, honest advice from two entrepreneurs who've been through it all.
Here’s our kudaan this week:00:00 | Intro & Episode Overview
03:00 | How We Started Our Businesses
12:00 | Daily Struggles & Wanting to Quit
13:00 | Business Partner Betrayal Stories
25:00 | Overcoming Fear of Judgment
27:00 Final Advice & Community Info
Business Advice from our ka-Kuda:
Starting a Business: Research the industry first, start with less than ₱1M capital, have 6 months savings ready because the first year is unstable.
Partner Betrayal: Give yourself 1 week to process emotions, don't make business decisions while emotional, always have exit clauses in partnerships.
Daily Struggles: "Pick your hard" and choose your type of anxiety. It's normal to want to quit daily, so focus on why you started.
Overcoming Fear: Think of the one person you can help, remember "Hindi kayo mapapakain ng hiya" (shame won't feed you), and post consistently anyway.
If You Feel like You are a Failure Here's What They Actually Said About Failure:
✓ Sales don't happen every day - that's completely normal
✓ Failure and slow days are part of the journey, not signs to quit
✓ Your first business is usually your biggest lesson, not your biggest success
✓ You only truly fail when you stop trying
✓ Making mistakes doesn't make you a failure - giving up does
✓ Every entrepreneur faces these same struggles

🎧 Naging hinaing mo rin ba na mapag salitaan ng mga sumusunod, at madaming beses na napapa buntong hininga ka na lang?
"Daig ko pa tatlong pamilya."
"Na gi-guilty ako pag hindi ako mag bigay"
“Nagbago ka na. Nakalimot ka na sa pinanggalingan mo.”
Have you heard of a country where there is a “breadwinner culture” in families? Parang sa Pilipinas lang ata nangyayari ang mga ganitong kaganapan sa mga magpapamilya, di ba? Prevalent pa rin ang “sandwich generation” sa ating kultura. Yun bang kailangan mong magbigay pa rin kahit mayroon ka nang sariling pamilya. Di ba alam natin na sa US of A, pag 18 na ang anak, nag mo move out na. Sa totoo lang kailangan ipractice ito sa Pilipinas upang matutong maging independent ang mga anak.
At isa pang dapat ipractice na mga magulang is to save and prepare for retirement, para sa pagtanda ay mayroon silang madudukot at hindi aasa sa mga anak.
"Anak mag nursing ka, mag abroad ka para maka tulong ka sa pamilya."
Hindi sila pinag aral ang mga anak para gawing retirement fund ng magulang. Responsibilidad ng mga magulang yon. You prepare them for the life ahead or the family they will create in the future. But, of course, it’s up to the children if they will give back to their parents. They will give from their heart because they love their parents.
Maganda ang topic na pag uusapan nila Sheryl LD at Sariah this week, kaya hindi dapat palampasin mga ka-kuda.

Empowerment Reminders:
✨ Hindi ka selfish kung inuuna mong maging financially okay.
✨You are not an ATM!
✨ Hindi ka makakatulong kung ikaw mismo laging ubos. Unahin ang sarili.
✨ You’re not bad for not giving.

🎧 Feeling mo ba may competition sa loob ng bahay niyo? Sino ba ang reyna ng tahanan niyo, ikaw o ang iyong biyenan?
Warning: This episode discusses emotional manipulation and narcissistic abuse patterns. Listen with self-care and seek professional support if needed.
Naku, magandang pag usapan ito! Kasi nangyayari talaga ito sa mga buhay-buhay ng pamilyang Pilipino. In our western counterpart, bihira ang sitwasyon na mag kasama ang pamilya ng asawa mo at ang binubuo nilang pamilya. Kinagisnan na natin ang ganitong kultura na pagiging close ng mga pamilya. Well, it’s understandable naman because of our culture, but not enough reason why in-laws will downplay your worth as a wife.
There is a big disadvantage or we can even say that there are several hidden damages living in a family within a family. The Bible teaches us in Genesis 2:24, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
In this episode, which by the way Sheryl LD has a caveat that this is not to bring in-laws into a bad light or to create division; Sheryl and Sariah deep dives into a common family situation in FIlipino families - interfering in-laws.
"Hindi pwedeng dalawa ang reyna sa isang tahanan."
Tara, makinig sa pagusapan ng mga kakudang Sheryl LD at Sariah!

🎧 Babae ka lang daw, ikaw dapat ang mag-adjust. Talaga ba? Our topic today goes around this kind of mentality, tara pag usapan natin.
Warning: This episode discusses emotional manipulation and narcissistic abuse patterns. Listen with self-care and seek professional support if needed.
“Kasi babae ako, dapat kayanin ko lahat.”
"Kahit pagod ka na kailangan mo pa rin magluto, mag linis, makinig, umunawa."
In this time and age, dahil sa Filipino culture, marami pa ding mga kababaihan ang hindi makawala sa gender-based discrimination, sexism and gender bias. Yun bang pareho kayo nagtatrabaho, o minsan may ari ka na ng isang business, pero sa tahanan, ikaw pa rin ay maituturing na alipin. Sa opisina o sa negosyo ang tawag sa iyo ‘Mam’, sa bahay, ‘Hoy’ ka lang.
“Hoy, linisin mo nga yung kwarto, hindi mo ba nakikita ang gulo-gulo.?
“Hoy, labhan mo nga yung puti kong polo, alam mo namang gagamitin ko yan tuwing Miyerkules.”
Powerful ka nga in business, but powerless in love. May disconnect di ba?
Pag uusapan nila Sheryl LD and Sariah ang mga ganitong scenario sa mga tahanan at sa relasyon. Alam niyo ba kung ano ang invisible labor? By the word itself, it means hindi nakikita, but there’s more to it that some women have to endure.
Narito ang mga kaganapan sa kudaan ngayon:
01:00 | Introduction sa episode topic
01:36 | What is Invisible Labor?

✨ Hindi mo obligasyon buhatin lahat.
✨ Kung ikaw ay isang CEO, CEO ka rin ng sarili mong oras, katawan, at kapayapaan.
✨ Your voice matters. Your rest matters.

Warning: This episode discusses emotional manipulation and narcissistic abuse patterns. Listen with self-care and seek professional support if needed.
🎧 Mga Ka-Kuda, medyo sensitive ang topic na ito, pero kailangan na pag usapan
"Ang bobo mo talaga! Wala kang kwenta."
"Ang drama mo naman, hindi naman ganyan ang nangyari."
"Pag iniwan mo ako, wala kang mapupuntahan."
“Pag iniwan mo ako, makikita mo may gagawin ako.
Nasabihan ka ba nito ng partner o asawa mo? These are some of the hurting words na maririnig mo sa iyong partner, and take note - it is both ways. Pwedeng babae o lalaki ang maging victim ng isang toxic at abusive relationship. Sabi nga ng iba na dumaraan sa mga ganitong klaseng relationship, mas mabuti pa na saktan ka na lang kaysa pagsabihan ng masasakit na salita. Very popular and idiom na ito sa Ingles, "Words are like swords, it cuts.” Abuse does not come ONLY from physical abuse, but from emotional and psychological abuse.
In this episode, pag uusapan nila Sheryl LD and Sariah kung sino ba talaga ang may problema. Aminin natin, in our society, malakas pa rin ang pagiging patriarchal sa mga Pilipino and more often than not, mga babae talaga ang victim ng toxic at abusive relationship.Nandyan ang pagiging controlling, manipulative at worse may physical abuse pa.
Tama ba ito? - "A woman's worth is dependent on the amount of pain she can endure."
Definitely, may mali sa ganyang klase ng mindset. May hangganan ang lahat. A woman should know when to walk away. Hindi niyo kailangan na magtiis for the sake of your children, kasi sabi nga ni Sariah, “Children do not need perfect families, they need emotionally safe environment.”
So, eto na nga - ang kaganapan sa kudaan ngayong linggong ito:
01:36 | Introduction sa episode topic
02:36 | The difference between a toxic and abusive partner
03:36 | Forms of Emotional or Psychological Abuse (...What are the red flags?)
16:26 | Why do some women find it hard to speak up? (...Bakit hindi maka alis sa isang toxic o abusive relationship?)
24:54 | How to Tell If It’s Time to Speak Up and Walk Away?
30:31 | Paano mo gagawin (... Mahalagang 7 Tips to help you decide to walk away for good)
36:25 | Closing Thoughts and Call to Action
Ang sensitibong topic na ito ay hindi kailangang maging TABOO TOPIC na lang.
✨ Abuse is not just physical, but also emotional or psychological.
✨ Pahalagahan ang sarili, mahalin ang sarili.
✨ Rebuilding yourself is the first brave step to break the cycle.
✨ We should normalize exit plans. Isa ito sa 7 tips that Sariah offered. It’s like having a ‘GO BAG’ for emergencies, preparing for the birth of your child, etc.

💔 When your breakdown is dismissed as drama
Alam mo yung feeling na gusto mo nang mag-give up pero kailangan mo pang mag-smile sa client meeting?
Or yung moment na nag-panic attack ka na pala pero you still finished your presentation?
Tapos when you try to open up, ang marinig mo lang: "Pang mayaman lang ang mental health" or "Kulang ka lang sa dasal."
Sa episode na ito, Sheryl LD and Sariah finally put words to what thousands of Filipina entrepreneurs experience but rarely discuss - the invisible battle between maintaining a successful business facade while quietly drowning in anxiety, burnout, and depression.
This isn't just another mental health talk. This is about the specific weight na dala-dala ng mga Pinay business owners who are expected to be superwoman 24/7 - profitable CEO sa umaga, perfect mother sa gabi, at emotional support ng buong pamilya in between.
In a culture where "tiis ganda" is glorified and therapy is seen as "pang alta," sina Sheryl LD and Sariah bravely tackle why so many successful business owners suffer in silence. Marami ang nagmamarunong, mga judgmental na akala nila alam na nila lahat sa buhay mo, pero when you actually need support? "Arte mo naman."
The silent epidemic nobody wants to talk about
Burnout isn't just being tired. Depression isn't just being sad. Anxiety isn't just being worried. Yet somehow, these complex mental health challenges get reduced to "kulang ka lang sa tulog" or worse, "weak ka lang."
Sa episode na ito, the hosts break down:
Why acknowledging mental health struggles is revolutionary, not weakness
The difference between simple fatigue and deep emotional burnout
How cultural conditioning makes us suppress emotions until we explode
Why "kaya mo yan" culture is literally killing our mental health
Most importantly, malalaman natin ang kahalagahan ng shadow work - that deep, transformative process of facing the parts of ourselves we've been taught to hide.
Ano ba ang ganap for this week's kudaan?01:30 | Spotting Mental Health Red Flags in High-Achieving Women02:47 | Breaking the "Pang Mayaman Lang Yan" Stigma04:17 | Burnout Beyond The Surface10:28 | Shadow Work 101: Meeting Your Hidden Self14:00 | The Power of Emotional Awareness22:23 | The Childhood Training That's Sabotaging Your Adulthood26:00 | Sheryl's Rest Revolution28:06 | Permission to Pause: Sariah's Message to the Scared29:33 | Closing & Mental Health Resources
The truth bombs you need to hear
✨ Mental health care isn't luxury - it's basic maintenance
✨ Your trauma responses are running your business decisions
✨ Rest is not laziness; it's strategic
✨ Emotions are data, not drama
✨ Suppression today becomes explosion tomorrow
As Sariah powerfully reminds us: "Emotions are healthy." It's the suppression that's killing us.
Who needs to hear this episode?
This episode is essential listening for:
Filipina entrepreneurs who feel guilty about feeling tired
Business owners who've been told they're "too sensitive"
Anyone who's been prescribed prayer for their anxiety
Women who perform success while battling invisible battles
Leaders ready to normalize mental health in Filipino culture
Hindi ka OA. Hindi ka weak. And you definitely don't just need more prayer (though prayer is good too).
What you need is permission to be human, tools to heal, and a community that gets it.

🎧 Mga Ka-Kuda, ready na ba kayo for some real talk?
"Ano ginagawa mo bakit nasa bahay ka lang?"
"Paano ka kikita diyan, piso-piso, barya-barya?"
"Akala nila pa live-live lang ako sa Facebook."
"Tingnan mo yung pinsan mo, nasa abroad na."
Sound familiar? Yan ang ilang maririnig mo sa kamag-anak mo o minsan sa sarili mong magulang, na hindi sang-ayon sa tinahak mong career path bilang freelancer o entrepreneur. Mas masakit marinig ito sa mga ka-dugo, di ba? Parang mas madali pa tanggapin ang rejection letter sa client kesa sa mga side comments ng family sa reunion.
It is hard to accept, lalo na when the negative remarks and comparisons continuously play at the back of your mind like a broken Spotify playlist na puro sad songs. Pero siguro isipin na lang na concern lang sila... or are they?
Sa episode na ito, sina Sheryl LD and Sariah talk about the painful reality na minsan, ang biggest critics natin ay hindi stranger sa internet - kundi yung mga taong dapat sana ay support system natin. They tackle the uncomfortable truth about family dynamics, cultural expectations, and how to protect your peace without burning bridges (unless necessary).
Real talk lang pero dapat pag-usapan
You cannot please everybody, and newsflash - you don't even have to explain yourself to them. Your bank account and mental health matter more than their outdated opinions about "tunay na trabaho."
Sheryl LD and Sariah drop truth bombs about:
-Breaking free from people-pleasing coping mechanisms-Setting boundaries na hindi ka magmu-mukhang "walang respeto"-Why seeking validation from unsupportive family is like asking a fish to climb a tree-The difference between genuine concern and control disguised as "love"

Key takeaways na pwede mong i-screenshotReady to reclaim your power?
✨ Stop treating family criticism like gospel truth
✨ Your success threatens their comfort zone - and that's their problem, not yours
✨ Boundaries aren't betrayal; they're emotional self-defense
✨ Hindi ka "mayabang" just because you finally claimed your worth
This is not just another podcast episode - it's a permission slip to choose yourself kahit magsabi pa sila na "iba ka na" or "mayabang ka na."

6-figure ang goal pero ang tanong pang 6-figure ba ang effort mo, 'te?
Bato-bato sa langit, ang tamaan balik sa corp. Char!
First of all, hindi masama ang mangarap na kumita ng malaki at lalong walang masama sa pagtatrabaho sa corp pero kung balak mong magfreelancing, dapat handa ang kalooban mo sa challenges na kasama nito.
Freelancing is not all glitz and glamour gaya ng mga nakikita mo sa social media na #katasngfreelancing. Pero if you are willing to put in the work, it's worth it!
‘Yan ang pag-uusapan natin kasama ang ating main ka-kuda, Sheryl LD at ang kanyang freelancing bestie na si Jeiga sa isa nanamang masarap na kwentuhang freelancing.

Sabi nga nila, “the hardest person to lead is yourself”, so anong gagawin mo kung yung mindset mo mismo yung humaharang sa success na pwede mong makuha?
We sometimes set ourselves up for failure dahil pinangungunahan tayo ng self-doubt. Minsan nawawala yung consistency natin or naho-hold back tayo sa mga gusto nating gawin. Pero, it’s time to stop this toxic habit, mga kakuda!
Join our main ka-kuda Sheryl LD and her friends as they talk about what self-sabotage is and how it can ruin the success that you have.
We also have a special guest sa mala-masterclass na episode na ito. Coach Sariah Guanzon, the Wealth Seduction Expert, is here to give us her insights and tips to set yourself up for success and iwasan ang bad habits sa pagdating ng bagong taon.

Budol coach na, potential cybercriminal pa! Wow naman!
It’s 2022 and are we still not familiar with the concept of consent? Ganyan ang kwentong budol coach natin on this week’s episode.
Sa nakakapang init ng ulong episode na ito, our ka-kuda Lea shared with us kung paano ginamit ang vulnerability n’ya ng isang coach na idol pa naman n’ya.
“Kung magpapabudol ka man, dun sa taong tatratuhin ka ng parang tao, hindi content lang.”
Join our main ka-kuda Sheryl LD and her friends Jeiga, Ivy, and Moreen as they dissect what happened to Lea and how other freelancers can avoid going through the same situation.
