    The Cycle Ends with Me: You're Not a Bad Daughter for Walking Away

    In this explosive episode of Say No More, we’re tearing down the toxic, guilt-laced expectations of what it means to be a “good daughter” in a Filipino household. If you’ve ever been called walang utang na loob, masamang ugali, or pasaway just for setting boundaries, you need this one in your bones. I get raw and personal about why I cut off my abusive adoptive family, what healing looks like in therapy, and why choosing peace doesn’t make you selfish, it makes you free. From calling out Filipino family dysfunction, cultural gaslighting, and boy mom worship to exposing mama’s boys and the double standards daughters are raised with, this episode pulls no punches. This is for every Filipina who’s been emotionally blackmailed into silence, sacrifice, and self-erasure. You’re not a bad daughter. You’re just the first one to say: the cycle ends with me.

    Maybe You’re the Toxic Friend: Stop Playing the Victim in Every Story

    We love to talk about toxic friends, until we realize we might’ve been one.In this episode of Say No More, we’re flipping the script and calling out something most people avoid: what if the friendship fell apart because of you?What if you weren’t the victim, but the one who drained, dismissed, or deflected? We’re talking: The victim complex in friendships Emotional immaturity vs. emotional accountability How to spot your own toxic patterns Why “ghosting” you wasn’t betrayal—it was a boundary Learning to say sorry without explaining yourself This isn’t about shame, it’s more about self-awareness. Because sometimes, growth starts with a gut punch. And it sounds a lot like, “Shit… I was the problem.” If you’re ready to stop pointing fingers and start taking ownership, this episode’s for you.

    Pain Is Not a Love Language: Stop Romanticizing Toxic Love

    Filipino culture loves to glorify tiis in relationships - like pain is the price of real love. From teleseryes to tita advice, we’ve been fed the lie that suffering = loyalty. But guess what? Pain isn’t a love language. Struggle love isn’t noble. And this ain’t a damn telenovela. In this episode of Say No More, we’re calling out: How “tiis ganda” becomes emotional abuse in relationships Why jealousy and chaos aren’t proof of passion How trauma bonding traps you in toxic love The truth about choosing peace over passion Why even married women deserve to say no to silent suffering It’s time we unlearn the myth that love must break us before it can build us. If you’ve ever stayed in a relationship because you thought pain was proof of love - this one’s for you.

    On Being Childfree by Choice: F*ck the Checklist

    They say it’s “just a phase.” They say you’ll regret it. That you’re selfish. Broken. Missing out. But here’s the truth: some of us simply don’t want kids- and we’re DONE being quiet about it. This episode of Say No More is a straight-up mic drop on the pressure to conform, the myth of the “maternal instinct,” and the b******t checklist we never signed up for. This is for anyone who's ever been made to feel “less than” for choosing a different path. If you’re childfree by choice, this is your permission slip to stop explaining yourself. If you’re not, listen anyway. It’s about time we made space for ALL the ways to live a full, loud, no-regrets kind of life.

    Walang Utang na Loob: Breaking Free from Toxic Filipino Family Culture

    Filipino culture loves to glorify family. "Walang kapantay ang pagmamahal ng pamilya," right? But what if that “love” is conditional? What if the first people who taught you pain shared your last name? In this raw and uncomfortable episode of Say No More, we’re naming the unspoken: toxic family dynamics in Filipino households. We’re unpacking the black sheep label, calling out the guilt-wrapped-in-tradition mindset, and ripping into the twisted narrative that kids owe their parents a lifetime subscription to suffering - just because they were fed and clothed. From being adopted and treated like a debt, to being used as a retirement plan and emotional dumping ground - this one’s personal. It’s not about being disrespectful. It’s about surviving a system that calls abuse “discipline” and silence “respect.” If you’ve ever been called pasaway, walang utang na loob, or felt like the designated disappointment in your family - this one’s for you. You don’t owe anyone your peace. And you sure as hell don’t owe anyone your life.

    The Art of Saying No (No, It Doesn’t Make You a Bitch)

    In this very first episode of Say No More, we're diving into one of the hardest things to do when you’re raised in a culture obsessed with obedience, pakikisama, and being “mabait”: saying no. We’re unlearning guilt, breaking toxic patterns, and reclaiming our right to protect our peace - without overexplaining, apologizing, or shrinking ourselves. If you’ve ever struggled with boundaries, people-pleasing, or felt like saying no made you the bad guy… this one’s for you. Because around here? We don’t owe anyone an explanation. Period.
