Breaking Down the Breakdown

Imagine being a successful lawyer and leaving it all behind to become an actress?!
Maria (or Tiny) is a lawyer, not just in the Philippines, but also in Canada. She's been a lawyer for over 20 years, and while she's been one of the best lawyers around, her heart has always been in acting.
She shares her brave story on her rhetoric that it is NEVER too late to chase your dreams, and she shares her secret to her confidence on taking such a huge leap of faith into the unknown, never once wavering on her decision to follow her passion.

To everyone who's worked overseas! To educators! To those wondering how life is like somewhere else, this one's for you!
Day 2 of our Mental Health Awareness Week Special!
Today i have 2 of whom i consider my closest friends in the entire universe, Paul and Henry, talk about their experiences teaching in the U.K.
Different ways of teaching and what they describe as "teaching bootcamp" may have deterred others from pursuing teaching further, but the perseverance that they both showcased and their amazing and anxiety ridden time living/learning to integrate in a different country while balancing their careers have developed them into the men they are now.
I hope you guys had a blast listening to this as much as I have, and if you have any questions for Paul, Henry, or myself, or if you would like to get on the show, please email me at

To kick off Mental Health Awareness Week, I have a great friend of mine, Sam, who worked for a big scale company, whose climb to the top of the ladder was immediately halted by an unfavourable situation. To add salt to her wound, she also faced an obstacle in the form of a higher up who no longer believed in her.
Join us on a very enlightening and important talk and hear how she bravely speaks out about her truth, about how it pushed her on the brink of suicide, and how she managed to persevere.

6x18: Overthinking Ruins EVERYTHING!
Breaking Down the Breakdown
07/16/24 • 34 min
Let me guess, you destroyed a beautiful relationship because of overthinking?
You were about to date someone until you started overthinking?
I'm not proud to say it, but i'm an overthinker. In today's society, WHO ISN'T!?!?!
But that, right there, is a huge problem. If we all overthink, then how are we going to actually understand each other?!
In this episode, i talk about the dangers of overthinking SPECIALLY when it comes to relationships. Oh, i also talk about overthinking when it comes to family (ahem)
But honestly, this is just a glimpse at what it looks like for us overthinkers, and how dangerous it could be, and how we can actually deal with it!

6x07: Feeling Unworthy
Breaking Down the Breakdown
04/30/24 • 33 min
TW because I believe that , specially as of recently, so many of us have been feeling this way. Whether it's caused by failed relationships, by parents, by failing almost every single thing in your life, at some point, sometimes you just sit there and you start wondering, do I deserve anything good? Am i worthy of love? of friendships? of life?
These, are very dangerous and very heartbreaking situations to be in.
This episode is a reminder, and I hope it does what I intend it to do, to remind every single one of you, that we all feel unworthy at times, but damnit, YOU are worth more than you could ever imagine.
