Some hearts move like whispers, walls up, emotions carefully rationed. Meet the Prince (or Princess) of Detachment — the cousin of the Princess of Ambiguity — who makes emotional self-preservation look effortless.
In this episode, we unpack why detachment isn’t coldness, how survival shapes hearts, and why sometimes the kindest move is to just… see them. Plus, a tiny sprinkle of humor and a fake sponsorship for your emotional safety.
Some hearts are impossible to read. Some love feels like a puzzle you’re not allowed to solve. In this episode, we explore the Princess of Ambiguity — the person who longs for love but hides behind fear, hesitation, and mystery.
We dive into what it’s like to love someone who can’t give everything, why stepping back doesn’t always change the game, and how the rarest kind of love might just be witnessing without control.
Plus, a tongue-in-cheek “sponsor” for all your mixed signals, invisible crowns, and emotional breadcrumbs.
Whether you’ve loved her, been her, or just can’t stop overthinking your latest crush, this episode is for anyone navigating the messy, magnetic, heartbreaking world of ambiguous love.
Ever gotten advice you didn’t ask for? You’re not alone. In this episode of Super Sawsaw, we dive into the hilarious, frustrating, and sometimes helpful world of unsolicited advice—why people give it, why we hate receiving it, and how culture, timing, and ego all play a part. From Filipino aunties to random strangers at the coffee shop, we break down the patterns, share relatable stories, and even give you practical tips for surviving—or giving—advice gracefully. Tune in for laughs, insights, and a few mental escape plans for the next time someone tells you how to live your life.
You ever argue so hard just to realize you lost your peace in the process? Yeah, same.
In this episode, we talk about the impossible choice: would you rather be right, or happy? Because you can’t be both. Not really. One feeds your ego, the other feeds your soul. One gives you the last word, the other lets you sleep at night.
We’ll break down why the need to be right feels so good (and why it wrecks you after), what happiness actually costs, and how to walk away from the fight without losing yourself.
It’s raw, it’s sarcastic, and it’s way too relatable.
The internet promised connection, community, and possibility—but it also amplified cruelty, judgment, and relentless scrutiny. In this episode, we dive into the reality of online bullying: the subtle and loud ways it impacts mental health, the quiet drift of languishing, and the heavy human toll behind the screens.
We explore the evolution of communication, from town criers to social media, and why Karens, Marites, and keyboard warriors are just modern reflections of age-old impulses. This isn’t about solutions alone—it’s about understanding, seeing, and holding space for humanity in the digital age.
A deep, reflective conversation about empathy, presence, and what it means to survive—and remain human—online.
Let’s be honest — sometimes you’re not in love with a person; you’re in love with the idea of being in love. In this episode, we’re tearing down the Pinterest quotes, the dopamine highs, and the fake fairytales we tell ourselves just to feel something. We’ll talk about the illusion, the reality, and the brutal self-check you probably need right now.
No fluff, no sugarcoating — just real talk about what love actually looks like when the butterflies die and the filters fade.
You get older, you get wiser—at least, that’s the scam they sold us. In this episode, Ryan takes a hilariously honest look at birthdays, adulthood, and the annual emotional circus of pretending we don’t care while secretly hoping everyone remembers.
It’s part reflection, part roast, with a sprinkle of psychology and just enough sarcasm to sting.
Featuring unsolicited shout-outs to Jera, October babies everywhere, and she who must not be named (you know who you are).
Perfect for anyone who’s ever blown out candles and thought, “Okay, but what now?”
Grab your invisible cake, sip your coffee, and let’s toast to another trip around the sun—because apparently, that’s an achievement now.
Loyalty isn’t flashy. It doesn’t post selfies or send passive-aggressive subtweets. It’s quiet. It’s messy. And sometimes… it drives you absolutely insane.
In this episode, we dive into:
What makes someone truly loyal (and rare).
What happens when you fight with the loyal one—who’s at fault, and how to survive it.
How to protect, appreciate, and actually keep the people who make your chaos feel manageable.
This isn’t about “good vibes only” or Instagram-ready friendships.
It’s about real humans, real tension, and the brutal, beautiful truth of the people worth keeping close.
Tired of people ruining your day, your trust, or your entire life without even trying?

Equal parts brutal truth and dark humor, this one’s for anyone who’s tired of apologizing for noticing.
Being good isn’t free.
It costs your time, your peace, your boundaries—sometimes even your self-respect.
And no one tells you that part.
This episode isn’t about being better. It’s about what happens when you already are—and people start taking it for granted. When kindness becomes currency. When “helpful” turns into “used.”
We’ll talk about the exhaustion behind generosity, the politics of empathy, and why goodness without limits slowly kills you from the inside.
Because being good in this world?
That’s not a virtue anymore.
It’s a survival skill.
Welcome to another uplifting episode about existential fatigue disguised as “being productive.” Today’s topic: burnout — the modern adult’s favorite personality trait. You know, that thing you get when you’re too responsible to quit but too tired to care.
This episode dives deep into the psychology of pretending to function. We’ll unpack the emotional toll of smiling professionally, the thrill of answering emails you don’t believe in, and the art of calling exhaustion “a phase.” Expect profound insights like “take a break” (that you’ll ignore) and “set boundaries” (that you’ll feel guilty about).
In this episode, let’s talk boring stuff again… lol. Love sounds simple—until you actually try it. Ryan goes solo to unpack why love is the hardest concept to master, the pain of realizing what we had too late, and how to love without ownership. It’s real talk about holding on, letting go, and laughing at the mess in between. Because sometimes, the hardest part of love isn’t losing someone—it’s understanding them.
In this episode of Help! We Started a Podcast, Judge Ryan explores the hidden cost of connection in modern life. From prehistoric tribes to social media, humans have always relied on each other, and yet true community has never been effortless. Convenience may make life easier, but it also isolates us, reducing relationships to curated feeds and pixels. Ryan examines why real connection requires effort, patience, and a willingness to tolerate minor annoyances — because inconvenience is the price we pay for belonging.
Through historical insights, modern observations, and relatable personal anecdotes — like helping friends move, attending events you’d rather skip, or simply listening when tired — Ryan shows that these small inconveniences are actually the glue that holds us together. This episode challenges listeners to rethink isolation, convenience, and comfort, while highlighting the messy, inconvenient, and profoundly human moments that make relationships and community worth it.
2025 is rewriting the rules of love, and nobody’s got the manual. Women are leveling up, men are buffering, and both are navigating a dating landscape full of ghosting, glow-ups, and emotional updates. In this episode, we poke fun at the chaos, laugh at the awkwardness, and explore why modern relationships feel like a mix of therapy sessions and group chats gone rogue.
From the rebranding of masculinity to women upgrading their lives, we dig into what’s changing, what’s confusing, and what might actually be the start of something better. Expect sarcasm, observations, and a little hope — because love isn’t dying, it’s just under renovation.
Everyone’s chanting the mantra: “Reclaim your peace.” But nobody’s handing out the receipts. In this episode, we put that cliché on the solo table, dissect the hidden costs of “choosing peace,” and ask the harder question: when does protecting your calm actually cost you connection, growth, or even love? From silence that feels holy to boundaries that start looking like walls, we poke, prod, and laugh our way into the messy truth. Peace isn’t free — so what are you really paying?
Heartbreak hurts—but why does it make us crave ice cream, sinigang, or that suspicious leftover mango float? In this episode, Judge Ryan explores the psychology of food cravings after heartbreak. From brain chemistry to Filipino comfort food hugot, we’ll uncover why food becomes love language, grief translator, and coping mechanism all in one bite. Science, soul, and a little sugar—served warm.
Nobody taught us to wash our brains the way they taught us to wash our faces. In this episode of Help! We Started A Podcast! Judge Ryan calls out “emotional amoy pawis energy”—from projection to unprocessed rage—and breaks down what mental odor really looks like. More importantly, we dive into routines for better emotional hygiene: journaling, boundary-setting, and yes, going to therapy like it’s skincare. If your vibes stink, this one’s for you.
Ever catch yourself apologizing for things you didn’t even do? Or shrinking in silence while the world does its thing? That, my friend, is the hidden language of self-blame—and it’s been running your life longer than you realize.

Then, we go a step further: practical, unapologetic strategies to spot it, stop it, and start speaking a new language—one that actually serves you.
Expect real talk, relatable stories, and yes, a little humor sprinkled in to keep the heavy stuff digestible. Plus, a very special fake sponsorship that guarantees zero guilt while listening. Because why not laugh at our own autopilot?
