    Episode 5: Becoming a Third Place and How Muwebles Café Became More Than a Café (Catch Up with Ate Lady)

    In this episode of Becoming, in Conversations, I catch up with an old colleague I haven't seen in four years. This time at Muwebles Café, a quiet roadside café that has become something much bigger than itself. Over the past two years, Muwebles has grown into a gathering place for cyclists, friends, families, and travelers passing through. It made me think about the idea of the "third place," the spaces outside of home and work where community happens naturally. In a country where our third places often look like malls and crowded cafés, what would it mean to create slower spaces? Spaces that feel like a mix of comfort and nature, where people can linger, connect, and belong. We talk about how Muwebles started, how the cycling community found it, entrepreneurship, friendship, and why perhaps what Filipinos need more of isn't another destination but more places to simply be. Sometimes becoming isn't just about people. Sometimes places become too. #ThirdSpaces #CommunityBuilding #BecominginConversations #MuweblesCafe #CafeTalks

    Episode 4: Strong, Independent… and Still Figuring It Out (Catching Up with Ate Trizhia)

    ⚠️ Audio disclaimer: This episode was recorded over a video call while I was literally in the woods — so yes, connection issues galore. But the laughs, stories, and heart? Crystal clear. This episode is a little bit of everything — two friends catching up after years, talking about random things, life updates, and the chaos of adulting. But at the heart of it, we talked about what it really means to be strong and independent women: learning to stand on our own, making choices that honor who we’re becoming, and still laughing through the mess. We didn’t plan it, didn’t overthink it — we just talked, reflected, and ended it exactly the way real conversations do: with the outro and a lot of laughter. 🎧 Tune in if you’ve ever felt like you’re figuring it out as you go — because honestly, same. #BecomingInConversations #BecomingByDesign #StrongIndependentWomen #PodcastPH #RealTalkPodcast #CatchingUpConversations #AdultingInYour30s

    Episode 3: Blessed Unrest & the Beauty of Just Doing It (with Ate Liza)

    In this episode of Becoming, in Conversations, I chat with my good friend—and creative big sis—Ate Liza. What started as a casual convo turned into a deep and hilarious exchange about creative blocks, self-doubt, passion projects, and the sacred chaos of starting anyway. We unpack the quote behind Blessed Unrest, talk about why artists are rarely satisfied with their work, and why expressing yourself matters more than being perfect. If you've ever felt stuck, tired, or discouraged as a creator, this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen in for the laughs, the wisdom, and the gentle nudge to keep your channel open. P.S. THIS IS ME STORYTELLING OUR CONVO D: HAHAHAHA

    Episode 2: Passions, Adulting & Things We’re Still Figuring Out (with Amiel)

    In this 1hr+ episode of Becoming, in Conversations, my friend Amiel - a curious 20-something anthropologist - joins me for a deep, funny, and heartfelt chat about adulting, passions, and things we’re all still figuring out. We talk about the ‘what am I doing with my life?’ moments, how passions evolve, and why it’s okay to laugh at the chaos while embracing growth. Whether you’re in your 20s, 30s, or beyond, this conversation will remind you that nobody has it all figured out, and that’s the beauty of it.
