    The Canlas Family's Story of Loss, Grief, Healing and Love: KULIT (The JM Canlas Organization) & Creating a Community of Support for Mental Health

    Disclaimer: This episode includes open conversations about suicide, depression, and other mental health challenges that may be sensitive or triggering for some listeners. We encourage you to listen with care and prioritize your well-being. If at any point the discussion feels overwhelming, please pause and seek support from a trusted friend, family member, or licensed mental health professional. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or needs urgent help, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis support hotline in your area. You are not alone, and support is available. If You Need Support: DOH-NCMH: 0917-899-8727 | 02-7989-8727 In Touch: 0917-800-1123 | 0922-893-8944 *** Mental health doesn't just affect one person. It quietly shapes an entire family, often in ways they don't see coming. In this deeply moving episode, Kai sits down with the Canlas Family: Filipino actor and musician Elijah Canlas, theatre actor and film producer Jerom Canlas, and their parents, Mr. Rommel Canlas and Mrs. Lyn Canlas, who also serve as trustees of KULIT: The JM Canlas Foundation. Together, they open up about navigating mental health challenges as a family, and how loss reshaped their understanding of love, responsibility, and presence. They reflect on the signs they misunderstood, yung mga conversations na sana nabanggit nila nang mas maaga, and the difficult but necessary process of learning and unlearning as a family. This is not a story about perfection; it's a story about growth, accountability, and choosing compassion, kahit unclear pa yung mga sagot. This episode is for young people who feel unseen, para sa mga magulang na tinatryma-bridge ang gap between love and understanding, and for families who want to navigate mental health conversations with greater awareness and care.

  2. Men Need Safe Spaces Too

    JAN 21

    Men Need Safe Spaces Too

    Ever wondered what a man mourns when the world tells him he’s not allowed to? We rarely talk about men when we talk about mental health. From childhood, boys are raised to “Be strong,” “Wag umiyak,” and “Kaya mo ’yan”. Kaya pag lumaki na sila, they don’t know how to ask for help, because the world expects them to survive everything in silence. In this episode, we dive into that hidden emotional world: what happens after divorce, and how impossible expectations quietly push men past their limits. We unpack burnout, support systems, and the many forms of abuse such as emotional, verbal, at pati yung subtle na pag-take advantage sa oras and generosity. This is a confronting look at what men carry … and why this silence is costing lives. And our guest, Robert Rubin, opens up about his own journey, from post-divorce depression to losing his support system, to painfully rebuilding himself piece by piece. A tarot professional, author, intuitive mentor, and host of The Gentleman Warrior Podcast, Robert brings wisdom shaped by trauma, healing, and lived experience. His perspective is raw, honest, and deeply human, the kind of voice men rarely get to hear… and rarely get to claim space for. Tune in now if we want healthier men, families, and relationships. Conversations like this can’t be optional anymore.

    Healing Through Nature and Movement

    Ever felt lost kahit ang dami mong achievements?  Minsan, kailangan mo lang huminga, maglakad, at hayaan si Nature na paalalahanan ka kung sino ka talaga. Kai sits down with Koi Grey, trail ambassador for Spartan Race PH and Garmin Philippines, an adventure athlete na halos bahay na ang Cordillera mountains. Nagkwentuhan sila tungkol sa healing through movement, intuition, and nature  paano nakakatulong ang grounding, breathwork, at flow state sa pagbalik ng peace of mind.

    Part 3 - How To Escape Negative Mental Programming

    Alam mo ‘yung feeling na parang may paulit-ulit na pattern sa buhay mo? Same type of people, same problem, same ending? Hindi ka baliw, programmed ka lang. Kasama pa rin natin si Gabriel Thoth is not your typical “healer.” He’s an intuitive consultant at hypnotherapist na may kakaibang gift sa pag-translate ng malalalim na spiritual concepts sa simpleng usapan. Hindi sermon, hindi lecture parang real talk na may halong magic. Gabriel talks about how the way you see things kinda becomes your whole vibe in life. Pero minsan, hindi mo alam, ‘yung utak mo pala may sariling autopilot galing pa sa mga old beliefs, fears, at mga pinagdaanan mo noon na hindi mo pa talaga na let go. He explains how your subconscious runs everything; kung paano ka mag-isip, makaramdam, at mag-decide. Once you start noticing those subtle patterns, dun na nagsisimula ‘yung totoong reset ‘yung moment na unti-unti mong nakikilala kung sino ka talaga beyond all the stories you grew up with.  Eh ayun na nga, kung minsan iniisip mong “bakit ganito pa rin ako?”, baka kasi si old version mo pa rin ang may hawak ng remote. 😏 Pero sige, baby steps na lang muna bago ka ma-stress. Kung gusto mong malaman kung ikaw ba talaga ‘yung nagdedecide sa buhay mo… o ‘yung lumang boses sa utak mo pa rin makinig ka na. This is Part 3 of a 4-part series, so stay tuned! Mas lalo pang lalalim sa susunod na parts. Play mo na ’to, ’wag puro scroll sa feed. Baka ito na yung sign na kailangan mong marinig.

    Part 2 - Body as a Pharmacy: Kaya Mo Bang Mag-Heal Nang Walang Gamot?

    Hindi lahat ng gamot nabibili. May mga bagay na kaya mong gawin anytime, anywhere kahit libre, at kahit mag-isa. Gusto mong malaman paano? Kasama ulit natin si Gabriel Thoth sa episode na ’to, isang intuitive consultant, holistic practitioner, tarot reader, at certified hypnotherapist. Pero dito, mas makikilala natin siya bilang isang lucid dreamer, Hermetic thinker, at legit storyteller na hindi takot mag-share ng kanyang mga wise experiences. Nag-deep dive sila ni Kai sa lucid dreaming; ano nga ba ’to, paano naiiba sa normal na panaginip, at paano gawing entry point ang sleep paralysis (hindi po ito “gateway to demons,” paki-relax 😌). Gabriel also walks us through brain states, bakit meditation is “soul’s medication”, at kung paanong ang beliefs mo nagpo-program ng reality mo. Usapang Dream Yoga din, bakit mas malakas daw ang spiritual work sa panaginip. Plus shinare niya rin ang mga practical steps para ma-achieve mo kahit basic level ng experience na ’to. Kaya kung sawa ka na sa everyday stress at sa routines na parang dini-drain ang energy and life out of you, baka this convo can help you find peace and live with intention. 👉 This is Part 2 of a 4-part series, so stay tuned!

    Part 1 - Don’t Like Your Life Right Now? Watch This.

    Kung feeling mo minsan parang trapped ka sa sariling utak mo with overthinking, anxious, o parang inuulit-ulit mo na lang yung lumang kwento ng buhay mo…well, this episode will mess with your brain in a good way. We have Gabriel Thoth as our guest for this episode! Isang intuitive consultant, holistic practitioner, tarot reader, at certified hypnotherapist. Aba, hindi ito basta-basta, ha. Ito ay high level of understanding kung ano tayo as a functioning human, at kung maiintindihan mo lahat ng sinabi ni Gabriel, mas maiintindihan mo kung bakit tayo nag rereact sa certain way or patterns ika nga.  Sa episode na to, maririnig mo ang topic about past life regression, at kung paano gumagana ang “karma” na parang algorithm. Pero hindi lang yan, sinimplify din ni Gabriel yung brainwave states (Beta, Alpha, Theta) in a way na kahit normal person maiintindihan ‘to. Like, bakit kaya nakakapagisip tayo nang malalim minsan pag nag sh0-shower? Eh kasi, nasa ibang brain state ka pala nun! Mind-blowing diba?  So kung sawa ka na sa stress autopilot mode, at gusto mo namang malaman paano i-hack yung utak mo nang mas creative, mas peaceful, at hindi laging talo sa anxiety makinig ka na. Malay mo, dito mo maramdaman na may choice ka pala kung paano mo gustong mag-isip… at kung paano mo gustong mabuhay. 👉 This is Part 1 of a 4-part series, so stay tuned kasi mas lalo pang lalalim sa susunod. Play mo na ‘to, wag puro scroll sa feed. Baka ito na yung sign na kailangan mong marinig.
