    129: A Siargao Story of Identity & Self-Love with Ana Mae Alipayo

    In this warm, candid conversation Anamae opens up about growing up in Siargao with a mixed cultural background, reconnecting with her Bisaya roots, and why protecting and serving her island community matters to her purpose. She tells the story of becoming an entrepreneur, starting a surf cafe and holistic surf school and the hard lessons of leadership. We dig into how isolation and self-love led her to build retreats that help women reclaim their emotional wellbeing, and practical reflections on stress, handling customers, and creating safe spaces. Top takeaways: ✨ Identity matters: reconnecting to language and culture can be a gateway to purpose. ✨ Healing is intergenerational: breaking emotional unavailability starts with one person’s awareness.  ✨ Business + heart: entrepreneurship can be a vehicle for community service and personal growth, but it brings practical and emotional challenges.  ✨ Isolation can be medicine: time alone helped Anna see herself, set boundaries, and choose peace.  ✨ Choose your people: surround yourself with those who help you grow; walk away from consistent toxicity. 👉 Connect with Anamae on her Instagram @anamaealipayo 💫 If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs this message.

In our last episode, we began diving into the 33 lessons I’ve learned at 33, and today we continue the journey. In this part, I open up about: ✨ Building a healthier relationship with money and seeing it as energy. ✨ Why everything around us is energy and how awareness can shift your life. ✨ The power of believing in yourself first, even when no one else does. ✨ How your beliefs shape your reality and influence what you manifest. ✨ Protecting your children’s foundation of truth, especially during their formative years. ✨ Finding worth within instead of relying on external validation. ✨ The importance of shadow work, self-awareness, and choosing to “do the work” so life can work for you.

This episode is about living with intention, honoring your energy, and creating the reality you want to experience. 🌱 🔑 Key Takeaways: Money is energy. Align your value and abundance will flow. Everything is energy; what you put out comes back to you. Self-belief is the foundation of transformation. Your inner work shapes your outer world.

    125: My 8-Year-Old Son Told Me He’s Gay

    Episode 125: My 8-Year-Old Son Told Me He’s Gay In this deeply vulnerable episode, I share a story that has completely shifted how I see love, parenting, and acceptance. At 2 AM, I felt called to record this because it’s one of the most important conversations of my life—the moment my 8-year-old bravely told me he is gay. What followed wasn’t just about my son—it was also about my own journey of healing, self-acceptance, and breaking generational cycles. I open up about: The raw moment my son came to me and trusted me with his truth. The fears, flinch, and judgments I had to confront within myself. How acceptance builds safety and connection in the family. Why rejection and shame can create lifelong wounds and broken relationships. My personal story of growing up without emotional safety and how that shaped my parenting. The “sweet spot” where trauma can be passed down—or healing can begin. This is not just a story about my child. It’s about the power of acceptance, love, and self-work. As parents, we are our children’s first reference point. If we don’t heal ourselves, they may spend their lives healing from us. ✨ My biggest takeaway: acceptance is love. Safety begins at home, and when we accept ourselves, we create the space to accept our children fully. 🔑 Whether you’re a parent, a child of parents who struggled to accept you, or someone healing from generational trauma, this episode will remind you of the importance of creating safe spaces where love is unconditional. 👉 If this episode resonates with you, don’t forget to subscribe, share, and leave a review. Let’s keep this important conversation alive. Our children deserve it. 💌 Connect with me: Instagram & Tiktok:⁠ @libnifortuna⁠ Podcast Instagram:⁠ @anywaymovingforwar⁠dpodcast

    124: 33 Things I’ve Learned After 33 (Part 1)

    Episode 124: 33 Things I’ve Learned After 33 (Part 1) Welcome to a brand new season of Anyway, Moving Forward! I’m Libni, a transformational life & energy coach, mentor, and your go-to girl for all things energy, emotions, trauma healing, and shadow work. This season feels extra special because I’m recording from a new place, stepping into a new version of me, and surrounded by incredible people who are supporting me behind the scenes. 💛 In this episode, I’m sharing something deeply personal: My viral birthday post, “33 Things I’ve Learned After 33.”We’ll go through the first 10 lessons in detail, not just the words, but the meaning, the stories, and the growth behind each one. From learning to protect your peace, to breaking old patterns, to embracing the power of “no,” these are lessons life has handed me through fire, joy, and everything in between. ✨ What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Nothing has meaning except the meaning you give it – how perspective shapes reality. The only way through is through – facing the fire instead of skipping the hard parts. It is what it is – the power of surrender and embracing the “isness” of life. If you don’t heal it, you’ll repeat it – breaking loops and closing old wounds. You don’t have to be loud to be heard – the quiet strength of presence and energy. Your space is sacred – protecting your peace as a spiritual practice. No is a filter – boundaries as a magnet for the right people. Projection is real – learning more about others by how they speak. It’s not about you – detaching from other people’s reactions. You’re not everyone’s cup of tea – letting go of people-pleasing and honoring your truth. 💡 Key Takeaways: Your energy speaks before you do. Nurture it.Boundaries aren’t walls; they’re filters for alignment. Healing is a choice you make over and over. Surrender isn’t weakness. It’s strength in its highest form. 💬 Let’s Connect: Instagram & Tiktok:⁠ @libnifortuna⁠ Podcast Instagram:⁠ @anywaymovingforwar⁠dpodcast Next episode: We’ll dive into the next set of life lessons — each one with its own story and soul medicine.
