    American author, coach, speaker, and philanthropist Tony Robbins describes the "abundance mindset" as "the belief that there are enough resources in the world for everyone – and of being grateful for whatever the universe provides."

    Episode 4: Creativity in a Busy World - A Chat with the Creators of Novice Magazine

    "Everyone is born a creative, until rent is due." 

    We thought it true until we had an enriching chat with Allen, Bekah, and Elaine - the creators of Novice Magazine PH. During our chat, we discovered that even with a day job (Elaine is a nurse in New York!), creativity doesn't need to take a back seat. Be encouraged in our conversation with these creative, passionate souls.

    Episode 3: Eat That Damn Cookie! Debunking diet and fitness myths

    Episode 3: Eat That Damn Cookie! Debunking diet and fitness myths

    Yes, we want to have that cookie, and we want it now.

    For this episode, we discovered why depriving ourselves ruins our diet, or at least our chance to see that weighing scale move towards the right direction.

    We interviewed Ching's nutrition coach, Kristia "Tia" Roco, who started this movement called "The Joy of Eating" which is helping Filipinas rediscover their love for eating while keeping themselves physically fit and healthy.

    Coach Tia's no-nonsense approach towards nutrition and exercise is a breath of fresh air that will hopefully help point us in the right direction as we start our fitness journey this New Year.
