After 30 with Cara Eriguel

Dating in your 30s hits different haha. Time and experience really does change you, it changes your priorities, the way you see life, and even the way you love. You view the world differently, you feel differently, (physically oof, and even mentally) , you now want different things from life. Most of us are seeking a more serious long term relationship at this age. Dating becomes less of a game, you’re more cautious. You likely know yourself a lot better by now. The failed relationships you had taught you your likes and dislikes, what you need from your partner and what you can offer. You have a clearer picture of what you’re looking for and it’s backed up by experience.

This episode’s special guest, (the VERY TAKEN) Victor Anastacio, who has successfully made landi during the pandemic (Listen to episode “How to Make Landi During a Pandemic) and is now in the “officially dating” phase, talks to us about the Do’s and Don'ts and some tips on dating in your 30’s!

I love hearing from you, I hope you tag me or message me when you listen to the pod, yeah?

Fights, disagreements, arguments are a part of life. Most of the time, they are healthy- if you do it right. Learning how to negotiate and fight better, (fight fair, that is), is crucial to maintaining a healthy relationship.

We just have to learn how to express ourselves better without being hurtful, or creating hardcore damage to your partners. Learn how to fight fair, fight productively, so that you learn to get to know each other better each time, and make the fights shorter, less painful and more fruitful.

Here are 30 ways to fight fair for couples.

I love hearing from you. Lemme know what you think!

Are you Scared of trying new things because you’re afraid of failing? Are you a procrastinator? We’ve been brainwashed to try to be perfect at everything. From schoolwork, to achievements, lifestyles and even our looks. We’re all flawed, and focusing on progress NOT perfection means you do things to improve yourself, acknowledging that you’re flawed, and are willing to trust the process.

If you’re too afraid to be wrong or take risks before you’re ready, you’re not going to get far. It is important to risk making mistakes and fail. To look at shortcomings and then ask, what can I do better next time? On this episode, we have a fellow podcaster and 30 something businesswoman, entrepreneur and boss lady, who has the lived by the powerful, magical word “PROGRESS” —  the lovely Angely Dub of Life in Progress podcast!

I don’t think you can really call yourself a freelancer unless you’ve had to chase a late payment. It’s almost like a rite of passage for freelancers.

Who wants the hassle of chasing money for work you’ve already done?NO ONE.

It is emotionally draining. So freelancers, what can we do when someone won’t pay you? Because it is often inevitable, what are the things we need to remember when chasing Late payments? Stanley Chi of Underpaid with Stanley Chi talks to us about this and more on this episode!

People who do what we do are usually people who have been through a lot. And boy have we been through a lot. The podcast episode is inspired by our what’s app exchange after bumping into each other a few months ago, Joyce with her husband,  and me with mine. And we were both just so happy for each other, and In total awe of God’s perfect timing— "look at where we are now". Of course “look at where we are now” comes from a deep “remember where we were before???”

Joyce has always poured her heart out and always makes it a point to create genuine connections with people, which is why she touches so many lives with the work that she does,  Myself included. 

Join us as we talk about the grit, the grind, the passion, some stories people don’t know about Joyce Pring-Triviño and the reality behind adulting before 30.

Dating before the pandemic is already pretty hard , fun, nerve wracking, exciting and scary. We had so many opportunities to meet someone and potentially fall in love. But a year into the pandemic, we’re not allowed to go out, there are just no opportunities to meet someone in person or ask someone out like you normally would to strike up a conversation and just take it from there. 

How do you even landi during a pandemic?? How do you ask someone out? How do you start a “serious relationship” if you think you’re ready for one, e hindi nga kayo pwede magkita??

I hope you enjoy this This half tawa, half intellectual-wal conversation with Victor Anastacio!

Hey you, welcome to the podcast! 

A lot of us spend a great deal of effort trying to avoid change, but it will inevitably catch up to you. Whether it is starting a new job, the start or end of a relationship the loss of a loved one, marriage, moving to a different city. How do you cope with change?

There is a very thin line between fear and excitement. You can either allow fear to eat you up and leave you paralyzed , or side step towards excitement and see this huge change as a beautiful opportunity-- Here's Delamar, in such a lovely, vulnerable (2-hour long)  conversation I will cherish forever,  sharing with us how she is Coping with change, and making life work.   

I hope you enjoy part 1!

How long before we can look back and laugh at all the misfortunes and pains 2020 brought us? Ugh. But seriously, Comedy , humor and wit are all very important , vital even, in life especially during tough times. How does comedy help people become more mindful, happy and grateful?

So what does change after marriage? How are you different as a couple? Do you fight better, are you ever really completely prepared for it? What are your realistic expectations , and are expectations healthy?

Here's a short personal reflection after about a month of marriage (haha).

Have you checked up on your mom (dad, lolo, lola, guardian, tita tito etc.) lately?

What is conscious parenting? How do 2 people who come from very different childhood histories and ideologies become
better and effective partners in raising a child? How do they become conscious parents
together? 

How does the act and habit of mindfulness help couples to be better, conscious
parents? And does this also help them become better and ‘conscious couples’ ?

Conscious parenting coach Kit Malvar-llmas tells us about the importance of mindfulness, breath work and awareness, and how "Conscious parenting" is really about "parenting ourselves".

Understanding money is learning and rewriting  your  'childhood history'  with money. 

What is FQ? One of the most uncomfortable topics at the dinner table is MONEY, (along with sex, religion and politics) Growing up, a lot of us are told never to discuss money matters with our parents- We all know how how this goes. At what age should parents start talking to their Children about money? How does our childhood relationship with money affect how we feel about, and deal with money in our adult life? How do we rewrite that ‘story’ and get over the issues we have with money?Couples may have different histories when it comes to their relationship with money. Is there a way to completely avoid fighting about it?What is complete financial freedom and is it attainable? All this and more money talks! I hope you enjoy! 

What is self-love? How does one practice self-love? Does practicing self-love mean you have to be “selfish”? What is the difference?

They say “Loving yourself is giving yourself what you want someone else to”. How does the awareness of, and mindfully practicing self-love help relationships to grow and become stronger? How do we get the love we want?

The Happiness Doctor Lia Bernardo answers these questions + more! Hope you enjoy!
