    EP 31: It’s Not How Much You Make, But How You Make It

    I’m excited to dive into the topic of financial freedom, and we’re going to explore it through the lens of Robert Kiyosaki’s powerful book, The Cashflow Quadrant. In this episode, I’ll break down the four ways people earn income: as an Employee (E), Self-Employed (S), Business Owner (B), and Investor (I). I’ll also share a bit of my personal financial journey, including the shifts I made in my mindset to move from the left side of the quadrant—where most people start (E and S)—to the right side, where true financial freedom lives (B and I). If you’re looking to achieve financial independence, this episode is for you!

    EP 29: Understanding Employment Insurance (EI) Benefit

    In this episode, I take a deep dive into Employment Insurance (EI) in Canada, breaking down how it serves as an essential safety net for anyone dealing with unexpected job loss. I cover the basics—like who’s eligible, including those with insurable employment, experiencing involuntary job loss, and meeting the required insurable hours. I also explain the benefits, which usually amount to 55% of your average insurable earnings, and walk you through the simple application process. Plus, I talk about the responsibilities EI recipients have, like staying available for work and reporting any earnings. My goal is to make EI less confusing and give you the tools you need to face financial uncertainty with confidence.

    EP 27: Hard Truths About Filipino Finances: Canada Start Launch

    In this episode, I’m diving into something deeply personal and essential for our Filipino community here in Canada: the journey to financial stability ✨ As Filipinos, we often prioritize supporting family and community above all else—a value I hold dear. But sometimes that commitment leaves us struggling with our own finances or feeling that talking about money is somehow “off-limits.” Today, I’m introducing Canada Start, an initiative that’s all about empowering our community with practical financial knowledge. I’ll share my own experiences and reflections on the financial habits many of us grew up with and how they can sometimes hold us back in a place like Canada. And here’s the exciting part: I’m inviting you to a live Canada Start workshop, where you’ll learn about budgeting, saving, and investing alongside other Filipinos.
