Whether it's beginning your own journaling practice or a passion project you've always been putting off, this no-fluff episode is going to tell you why you're finding it hard to start and what you can do about it today.

I write for different reasons, most of the time for reasons unknown. In the 13 years that I've written both professionally and personally started, I’ve come to learn that writing is healing. Journaling is the practice that has helped me make sense of what doesn't make sense to me (yet). In this comeback (to podcasting) episode, I'm channeling a two-minute guided journaling exercise to help you navigate your emotional terrain and help start your healing through journaling—all it takes is a pen and the courage to face the blank page. Press play if you're ready.

This episode is for those brilliant creatives who have always known that creative entrepreneurship (whatever that means for you before or at this moment) was always what you have wanted to do.

A growing and common misconception most people believe is that having a location independent job or remote work is THE only way to achieve the flexibility & freedom in life. The reality is you can be working outside of an office, even by the beach, and still feel trapped or stuck. In this episode, I’m sharing this freelancing mistake that caused me to feel exactly that—STUCK even if I was living by the beach and working location-independent.

This isn’t another ‘be a boss’ or ‘slay-as-a-CEO’ type of advice-dropping episode but rather a sneak peek into a small portion of what happens during my coaching calls in my Career Freedom Program. In this episode, one of my clients mentioned how tired she was lately whenever she’d wake up because she wasn’t getting enough sleep the night before. I'm sharing with you what I told her about how she can set better boundaries by time-blocking (like a CEO), respecting your calendar, and the no-notifications policy which you know I'm so fond of.

As the pandemic drags on, I'm faced with readjusting my travel expectations for this year. In this episode, I talk about why creatives and artists MUST share their work with the world. I'm also sharing my first death-defying trip to the southernmost tip of Palawan in the Philippines.

I've been receiving a number of questions about starting out as a remote worker and thought of compiling the most recent questions into a short bonus episode so that I could refer this to anybody else who asks the same questions.  In this episode, I'm sharing my thoughts about working for free, raising your rates, Paypal fees, and doing work that you love & value so that clients will do the same for you as well.  Please note that this reflects my combined total of 8 years worth of experience doing freelance and more recently digital entrepreneurial work as a remote worker from the Philippines. View the show notes on my website.

Are you feeling stuck in life? You're not alone. In this episode, I'm talking about how it feels like being stuck, even when you thought you're having a mountaintop experience and how you can ride yourself out of being stuck.
