It's such a full circle moment for me to finally interview one of my idols in the Filipino podcasting community, Ali Sangalang, the host of The LINYA LINYA Show and Co-Founder of LINYA LINYA.

It's best to stop before you take yourself to the point of burnout. As much as we love working, it's also essential to take a break every so often. Joining me for this mid-season finale episode of the podcast is my podcaster friend, Hannah Ty from Asking For A Friend Podcast. We talk about how important it is to take a break regarding your CAREER, LOVE, and LIFE. For workaholic people like us, it's important to identify when we need a break and know that we deserve it.

Iza goes true about how she sabotaged herself over the years in her CAREER, LOVE, and LIFE. Hopefully, now, we're at a better place where we believe that we deserve the best things in life.

S2E24: Regrets with Hideki Joseph, Dancer and Choreographer

Regrets, we all have them. Certain memories from the past haunt us to this day. If we only knew then what we know now, things would have turned out better.

For the season finale episode of the podcast, we’re talking "regrets" with my friend, Hideki Joseph, Freelance Dancer, and Choreographer. We learn more about Hideki and how he navigates regrets for Career, Love, and Life. I had such a fun time getting to know Hideki through our talk and I hope that good things are about to come our way!

We can’t turn back time, but we can move forward and learn from our experience. Use your regrets to grow, and become a wiser and stronger version of yourself. Maybe things happen for a reason and you’re exactly where you need to be.

S2E23: Self Acceptance with Gresson Peiffer, Author of Sharing My Light & Healing Energy

Would you give yourself a hug if you could? “Accepting Yourself”, as redundant as it sounds, it's actually harder to apply in real life. We tend to be our own worst critics, hard on ourselves than on everybody else.

Gresson Piefer, author of Sharing My Light and Healing Energy joins us on this episode of the podcast. She shares about her childhood and what she’s learned about self-acceptance growing up.

I hope we all love the people in the mirror staring back at us. Be patient and understanding of yourself. Nobody’s perfect. Know that you’re human with flaws and it’s okay to make mistakes. Right now, you’re doing great!

S2E22: Finding the One with Grace Rubis from Love University Podcast

How do we find what’s meant for us? When will our desires be satisfied and our wishes fulfilled? Do we even know what we want in the first place?

May it be CAREER, LOVE, or LIFE, we’re all yearning for THE ONE. Our biggest dream, our deepest desire, or the one thing we want to experience before we die. Will destiny be kind enough to give us what’s meant to be ours?

Grace Rubis from Love University graces us with her presence as we discuss finding the one. How does perfect look in her eyes and what tips can she give those longing for something? Grace talks about her journey from mistakes she had in the past to be grateful to be where she is right now.

Patience, my dear. It will all make sense in time. Continue on your path and let yourself be surprised along the way.

S2E20: Finding Happiness with Emerson Cerrado from 1 v 5 Podcast

Happiness is fleeting, but we keep looking for it. Everyone wants to be happy, but happiness does not mean the same thing to everyone. We go through life, day by day with our own challenges to face. We yearn for happiness because we think it will solve our problems. 

Emerson Cerrado from 1 v 5 Podcast joins us for this episode as we zoom in on what happiness looks like. We walk down memory lane and see how we viewed happiness from being small children to now,  full-grown adults. What does it truly mean to be happy and how do we find it from where we are?

S2E18: Talking about Forever with Hannah Ty from Asking for a Friend Podcast

Things change. Nothing is meant to stay the same. People come and go. We grow day by day and venture through our own journeys in life. Time only moves forward, and then we die.

If our time here on earth is only temporary, is there really such a thing as “forever”?

Hannah Ty from Asking for a Friend Podcast joins us for this episode as I unload my abandonment issues and contemplate humanity’s existence on this plane once again. She shares her own perspective when it comes to growth, time and how she still believes that there is such a thing as “forever”.

I guess that this is just a part of growing up, right? Maybe what matters the most is making sure that we make the most of our short time here on earth. Have a great life everyone!

S2E17: Being Enough with Marge Villaester from Struggles of a 20 Something Podcast

Do you also question your self-worth on a consistent basis? It seems like the older we get, the more we have to prove.  We put so much pressure on ourselves just because of the expectations from society and the people around us.  After everything we’ve been through and how far we’ve come, why can’t we ever be enough?

Marge Villaester, the host of Struggles of a 20 Something by Marge Villaester joins us this week to share her thoughts on what “being enough” means for her under CAREER, LOVE, and LIFE. She gives us insight into what she thinks "being enough" means from what she learned in her own personal grown journey. 

I don’t think that there’s definitely one correct answer to the question of  "Am I enough?" or if there really is one. Maybe all of us are enough by default, but we’re the ones who have to convince ourselves of that. Just don’t be so hard on yourself, okay? Be kind.
