  1. 0:00Not every decision that you make has to
  2. 0:02be rooted on that. Sometimes you just
  3. 0:03have to add value to people's lives.
  4. 0:05>> Yes, true.
  5. 0:09But it takes time, strength, and effort
  6. 0:12to be a good one. Yeah. When you're
  7. 0:13growing up, it's not a competition with
  8. 0:15other people. It's really just trying to
  9. 0:17be a better person than you were before.
  10. 0:20The meaning of success used to be for me
  11. 0:21hustle, hustle, hustle. Now, no. Rest is
  12. 0:24my definition of success. If you have
  13. 0:26the time to rest, you are successful.
  14. 0:29Your priorities are all in check. Then,
  15. 0:32if so, you can enjoy the fruit of your
  16. 0:34labor. That's not a bad thing.

  33. 1:05tagged episodes, one of the oldest
  34. 1:07episodes that I had on the podcast, was
  35. 1:10this was with this inspiring woman.
  36. 1:14When she was I think that was your first
  37. 1:17guesting on a podcast. She was busy
  38. 1:20building her business. She was doing all
  39. 1:22of these different things in her life.
  40. 1:24And now she is officially back in the
  41. 1:26Philippines for a visit. And she made

  45. 1:42[laughter]
  46. 1:44>> Hi. Thank you so much.
  47. 1:51I'm still the same Angeli.
  48. 1:56>> [laughter]
  49. 1:57>> It's That episode was 2018. Can you
  50. 2:00believe it?
  51. 2:10Sorry, 2019. I don't know about
  52. 2:13Oh, you 2020 but I am first episode and
  53. 2:16then 5 years ago.
  54. 2:19So many
  55. 2:23That was earlier but
  56. 2:25Uh no, I know that. It's 2020 of March
  57. 2:28because you remember we had that
  58. 2:30conversation I was online. No, no, no.
  59. 2:33There We were in the studio and then
  60. 2:34people were saying we're going to
  61. 2:36lock down. But then they're going to
  62. 2:38close down and everything. Yes, it was.
  63. 2:42But I'm
  64. 2:435 days before the lockdown.
  65. 2:47Yes.
  66. 2:48Oh, okay. So many things has happened
  67. 2:51since then. You moved to Spain. You got
  68. 2:53your masters. You built multiple
  69. 2:55businesses. How are you, girl? You look
  70. 2:59beautiful.
  71. 3:02>> [laughter]
  72. 3:05>> I'm okay. I've survived a lot of things
  73. 3:08and
  74. 3:09I'm proud of it. And I'm actually happy
  75. 3:11that I went through that. It really
  76. 3:13shaped me. It really helped me become
  77. 3:17who I am today.
  78. 3:36Yeah.
  79. 3:53Yeah, I I feel like that's such a
  80. 3:54beautiful perspective because
  81. 3:57to a certain extent, especially people
  82. 3:59who are very hardworking.
  83. 4:04We tend to do things on our own because
  84. 4:07we think that's the only way to go about
  85. 4:09things. And I think that's how I found
  86. 4:10my relationship with God to begin with
  87. 4:12because I don't I'm big at big at being
  88. 4:14God. There's too much. I am carrying too
  89. 4:17much. I'm working too much.
  90. 4:19I have too many things on my plate and I
  91. 4:21couldn't carry it anymore.
  92. 4:23So I'm glad to hear that. But I am
  93. 4:27I would say when you moved to a
  94. 4:29different country.
  95. 4:31How has life changed?
  96. 4:34God wise or everything?
  97. 4:35>> Everything. Tell us everything.
  98. 4:43So I moved to Spain. Wait, pandemic and
  99. 4:46Pandemic. Pandemic was very hard.
  100. 4:48Imagine my business was my whole life.
  101. 4:54That was done and test your skills go.
  102. 4:57Now okay, Angeli Dy. People say you're
  103. 4:59amazing. Your mom say you're great.
  104. 5:03But are you really great? Can you
  105. 5:05survive this?
  106. 5:18So that was the time first time going to
  107. 5:20experience can question going to go
  108. 5:22existence go.
  109. 5:24I was like
  110. 5:25Never going to go in my town and I say
  111. 5:27to
  112. 5:28I don't know what to do.
  113. 5:31This is spontaneous and I don't know
  114. 5:32what to do.
  115. 5:34I just surf. I don't know with the waves
  116. 5:37of life.
  117. 5:42There was no life. Life stopped.
  118. 5:45Especially with your life
  119. 5:46yeah.
  120. 5:51Somebody asked
  121. 5:56I
  122. 5:58said yes to everything.
  123. 6:04What's the point of questioning
  124. 6:06yourself? If you core
  125. 6:10you are that person. Yes, yes, yes, yes,
  126. 6:12yes, yes, yes.
  127. 6:14So
  128. 6:17I feel I am aligned with values.
  129. 6:20You can be both but I am not. Yeah.
  130. 6:26I can say I can start. Yes, yes, yes,
  131. 6:28yes, yes. I was driving coming here. So
  132. 6:31I can go.
  133. 6:32Angeli You're the same person.
  134. 6:39I don't think of that. Yeah. I just
  135. 6:41execute. That's apparently
  136. 6:44I don't know
  137. 6:45what I am going to do
  138. 6:47showing up. I am consistent doing
  139. 6:49things. My whole life has been like
  140. 6:51that. I just showed up.
  141. 6:55And you know, you know what some of the
  142. 6:58truly content and in their lives.
  143. 7:01They're not directed by this ideology of
  144. 7:05I don't know what I am going to do with
  145. 7:06it. Or I don't know what I am going to
  146. 7:08do with it. I don't know what I am going
  147. 7:09to do with it.
  148. 7:11Whatever. It's adding value to others
  149. 7:14and then figuring out along the way,
  150. 7:16okay, I'm adding value to this person.
  151. 7:18I'm just going to do this. You know, I'm
  152. 7:20just going to say yes and maybe I can
  153. 7:21learn something from it. I'll I'll make
  154. 7:23a good connection if anything. And
  155. 7:25that's the kind of character that a lot
  156. 7:27of young people sometimes miss out on
  157. 7:29today.
  158. 7:35Which of course you have to think about
  159. 7:36those things. But not every decision
  160. 7:38that you make has to be rooted on that.
  161. 7:40Sometimes you just have to add value to
  162. 7:42people's lives.
  163. 7:43>> Yes, true. There's one thing I don't
  164. 7:45know what to do in life.
  165. 7:47I don't know what to do
  166. 7:50but it takes time, strength, and effort
  167. 7:53to be a good one. But I'm not saying I'm
  168. 7:55perfect. I'm just saying I put effort
  169. 7:58into being a good person. Mhm. Life is
  170. 8:02not just about money and business.
  171. 8:03There's so many aspects of life that I
  172. 8:05don't know what to do.
  173. 8:08I don't know what to do. I've learned to
  174. 8:10live my life outside my business. Wow.
  175. 8:14My business is no longer my whole life.
  176. 8:23My 20s
  177. 8:25I don't know what I am going to do with
  178. 8:26my business. I love my work.
  179. 8:31But life comes in seasons. My 30s
  180. 8:37I don't know what I am going to do
  181. 8:38today. It's okay. I'm going to do
  182. 8:39something else. You know what I am going
  183. 8:41to do in Spain. When I moved to Spain
  184. 8:55When I moved to Spain, Joyce, people
  185. 8:56don't work on weekends. Wow.
  186. 9:00And they question me people in my
  187. 9:02environment. Why are we working on
  188. 9:04weekends?
  189. 9:06And there are some places that say no
  190. 9:08laptop on weekends. This space is
  191. 9:11no laptops. Oh, wow.
  192. 9:13for people
  193. 9:14and then I don't know. So
  194. 9:16I adjust go.
  195. 9:20It's never too late to change something.
  196. 9:23I don't know.
  197. 9:24Character development. I don't know what
  198. 9:26I am going to do. I don't know what I am
  199. 9:27going to do.
  200. 9:28I don't Yeah. I don't know what I am
  201. 9:29going to do. I do things.
  202. 9:33I don't know. Yeah, but I think that
  203. 9:35also comes that is a privilege that you
  204. 9:37afforded yourself. Because you cannot
  205. 9:39have that unless you worked hard and
  206. 9:41smart first and foremost. That's a
  207. 9:43privilege that you have to afford for
  208. 9:45yourself. I can do that now in your I
  209. 9:48also do that now in my 30s. I pick and
  210. 9:50choose the jobs that I want to do
  211. 9:51because I worked my butt off in my 20s.
  212. 9:54I I put my head down. I did everything
  213. 9:56that I had to do. I said yes to every
  214. 9:58opportunity. You know, quite
  215. 10:04because I wanted to build a life for
  216. 10:05myself where my time was mine.
  217. 10:09And I think that's such an important
  218. 10:10thing to talk about,
  219. 10:12you move to Spain, you're learning so
  220. 10:15many different cultures in your life,
  221. 10:17but you travel as your life.
  222. 10:24to travel. I fell in love with my life
  223. 10:27in Spain.
  224. 10:30I'm actually slowly
  225. 10:34I was going to shut it listen. And that
  226. 10:37is okay. I grieved a lot. Because you
  227. 10:41know my whole life here. Then I talked
  228. 10:43to a lot of people. Even
  229. 10:47who you are won't stay with you. You
  230. 10:49know, it's funny that you talk about
  231. 10:51grief and your a part of yourself not
  232. 10:54saying who you are. Cuz I was talking to
  233. 10:56a girlfriend of mine about this and
  234. 11:01life goes
  235. 11:02attack
  236. 11:04work 24/7. I am an intense workaholic.
  237. 11:09When when I was in my 20s, that was me.
  238. 11:11And then when I had children, I tried to
  239. 11:13be the same kind of person. I was
  240. 11:16working as much as I wanted to. My
  241. 11:18schedule was revolving around me, not
  242. 11:20not my son at that time. And then I just
  243. 11:23felt so miserable. And then I realized
  244. 11:25it was because I was forcing old rhythms
  245. 11:28into a new season.
  246. 11:30I had to grieve the fact that I'm no
  247. 11:33longer the same person. That I didn't
  248. 11:36want the same things anymore. That I
  249. 11:38couldn't do the same things anymore.
  250. 11:40That I had different priorities and that
  251. 11:42I had a different season in my life. So,
  252. 11:44I also had to evolve. And I think that's
  253. 11:47the most one of the most important
  254. 11:48things that you have to learn about when
  255. 11:49you're growing up. It's accepting the
  256. 11:51fact
  257. 11:56And I kind of just move on and and
  258. 11:59explore this new person that you're
  259. 12:01becoming. So, what have you been
  260. 12:03learning in this new season of your life
  261. 12:05that you're in right now? Okay, so but I
  262. 12:08moved to Spain because I was really in
  263. 12:10love with this man. He was the love of
  264. 12:12my life.
  265. 12:15My old version said he was the love of
  266. 12:18my life.
  267. 12:20But people leave. It's part of
  268. 12:23everything. I did not end up with him.
  269. 12:25Actually, last night
  270. 12:26I was driving with my mom. So, I become
  271. 12:29I did not end up with this guy.
  272. 12:33So, because I thought you knew me.
  273. 12:37I was going to end up with him. I was
  274. 12:38going to have a family and everything.
  275. 12:40That didn't happen. I should have tried
  276. 12:42to make reconnect this year.
  277. 12:47He was still doing the same things.
  278. 12:52Yeah. I realized I
  279. 12:55am a completely new person and I grieve
  280. 12:59last year October.
  281. 13:01A year ago.
  282. 13:02>> Mhm.
  283. 13:04I woke up. I was super super super sad.
  284. 13:08And normally when I used to personality
  285. 13:09go because even I am sad, I can find
  286. 13:12something to be happy.
  287. 13:14Yeah, you're a ball of energy.
  288. 13:15>> Oh, yes. I'm just like whatever.
  289. 13:21>> [laughter]
  290. 13:23>> That time last year October again a year
  291. 13:25ago, I was so sad, Joyce. I booked a
  292. 13:28trip to Croatia.
  293. 13:30I was
  294. 13:32sitting in a coffee shop in the morning
  295. 13:34after my run.
  296. 13:41Oh my I was like, I'm so sorry. It's
  297. 13:43just
  298. 13:44I'm just so sad. I don't know why.
  299. 13:47So, they were like, oh, it's okay.
  300. 13:50They were like, we thought you were
  301. 13:51British. I was like, I'm not British. I
  302. 13:52British. I can speak Filipino. You
  303. 13:53should tell me with me.
  304. 13:54>> [laughter]
  305. 13:55>> That was
  306. 13:56It was so good that I am
  307. 13:58I I can be just a human being. Yeah. I
  308. 14:01am in Europe and you know what I am
  309. 14:03going to do again but I am going to
  310. 14:0510 seconds later I am going to
  311. 14:08give up because they did not understand
  312. 14:10me.
  313. 14:11I am
  314. 14:12a new follower and it has nothing to do
  315. 14:15with that. Just because you have social
  316. 14:17media presence, it doesn't mean you
  317. 14:19don't have emotions. Yeah.
  318. 14:21>> It doesn't mean
  319. 14:25life is just about followers likes. At
  320. 14:27the end of the day, that means nothing.
  321. 14:29Yeah.
  322. 14:30At at some point, I am going to realize
  323. 14:33those things are nothing.
  324. 14:36Yeah.
  325. 14:37For us, it's just work. Yeah.
  326. 14:43So,
  327. 14:44now
  328. 14:48everything that happened in my life even
  329. 14:51you are sadness and I feel good last
  330. 14:52year. You know what I am grieving
  331. 14:55going to I was letting go now of
  332. 14:57everything.
  333. 14:58Who I've been my whole life in the
  334. 14:59Philippines. I
  335. 15:03am in Spain. I am going to
  336. 15:06see new people. I find myself being an
  337. 15:07introvert. Wow.
  338. 15:10Like after I'm going to shut myself now.
  339. 15:13I
  340. 15:14am just going to be in Madrid.
  341. 15:18I
  342. 15:20don't even lead tours anymore to access.
  343. 15:23I just learned that it's a new life
  344. 15:26goal. I just want to make it again.
  345. 15:31I can have a conversation with old
  346. 15:33people. Yes, I connect so fast.
  347. 15:35I am going to
  348. 15:37after I go.
  349. 15:39Where do you think that came from?
  350. 15:41>> Language barrier in Spain.
  351. 15:43That triggered Okay, that's what started
  352. 15:46it.
  353. 15:47Yes, yes, yes.
  354. 15:50That language barrier triggered
  355. 15:52something in me. I am going to take a
  356. 15:55minute.
  357. 15:58Observing the world around you.
  358. 16:00>> Yes, so I became like that. So, I am
  359. 16:02going to
  360. 16:06May memory recall here.
  361. 16:12I enjoy
  362. 16:14both. I am feeling for the first time. I
  363. 16:18am going to
  364. 16:19say comments that I am
  365. 16:21yes, I know, but
  366. 16:22it's not just about being famous or
  367. 16:25relevant. I have a business say. Yeah.
  368. 16:27>> So, I am required everywhere.
  369. 16:30It's not even about social media because
  370. 16:32I am so much post like work and I am
  371. 16:35going to do
  372. 16:36additional stuff. It's more of you can
  373. 16:39kill everywhere.
  374. 16:41>> Yeah. I am going to go now.
  375. 16:48So, I am going to say we go.
  376. 16:50I am going to go now. I am going to kill
  377. 16:52anywhere.
  378. 16:56I am just me. Yeah. And um
  379. 16:59people don't ask what do you do for a
  380. 17:01living? Do you have a a husband? What's
  381. 17:04your religion? What's your political
  382. 17:05view? What up?
  383. 17:06They just know me. That's a no no in
  384. 17:08Europe though, right?
  385. 17:09>> Yes. Like that's it's not something that
  386. 17:12people talk about. And it's so funny
  387. 17:15because when I that I when I traveled,
  388. 17:17that was the only time that I realized
  389. 17:19it.
  390. 17:23Yes.
  391. 17:25The first thing people ask you when you
  392. 17:27enter the cafe hola, que tal? Hi, how
  393. 17:30are you?
  394. 17:32So, you
  395. 17:34you feel seen.
  396. 17:36>> Yeah.
  397. 17:37What's your order?
  398. 17:39>> [laughter]
  399. 17:39>> Not everyone is like that here, but I am
  400. 17:42going to experience a different world
  401. 17:43because I am going to be a tourist and I
  402. 17:44am going to be excited here. I am going
  403. 17:47to
  404. 17:47go to Joyce.
  405. 17:49I am going to go away from my house.
  406. 17:54Buenos días. Buenos días.
  407. 17:57I am going to something. I am going to
  408. 17:59go to phone now. Yeah. I am going to go
  409. 18:02to town.
  410. 18:03I am going to go to the building. I am
  411. 18:05going to go to the building. So, I am
  412. 18:07going to go to the world
  413. 18:09because before I was just a tourist.
  414. 18:11Now, I really live somewhere. I am going
  415. 18:14to go to culture. I am going to go to
  416. 18:15the way.
  417. 18:19Yeah.
  418. 18:19>> I am going to go to the way. Yeah.
  419. 18:25I am going to build build up now. I am
  420. 18:27really proud of who I am today.
  421. 18:29I am so glad and that's the one thing
  422. 18:31that you you want, right? When you're
  423. 18:33growing up, it's not even it's not a
  424. 18:35competition with other people. It's
  425. 18:36really just trying to be a better person
  426. 18:38than you were before. It's really
  427. 18:40figuring out, okay, who am I now? What
  428. 18:43do I value? What is my goal? What are my
  429. 18:46what are my priorities? And I think if
  430. 18:48you have those things in check, it's
  431. 18:50easier to move around in the world. I
  432. 18:53remember when I studied in the UK a few
  433. 18:56years ago.
  434. 18:59Everybody sat down on the table. I
  435. 19:00remember this the first time I sat down
  436. 19:03with some of my classmates and nobody
  437. 19:05was using their phones.
  438. 19:07Nope. As in and like and some of my
  439. 19:09classmates didn't have social media,
  440. 19:11didn't have a Facebook, didn't have an
  441. 19:13Instagram. Nobody asked for that.
  442. 19:15Everybody was just talking about, you
  443. 19:16know, recent news life life music that
  444. 19:20they're listening to, a book that
  445. 19:21they're reading. And then that's when I
  446. 19:22realized
  447. 19:25you bring conversation to the table.
  448. 19:28You bring yourself to the table. You
  449. 19:30improve yourself so much so that when
  450. 19:32you go into a table, you're actually
  451. 19:34growing with people and getting to know
  452. 19:36people more. I want to ask you because
  453. 19:39when I met you and ever since I met you,
  454. 19:42I feel like you've embodied the phrase
  455. 19:45that you have in the title of your
  456. 19:47podcast, which is life in progress. What
  457. 19:50does that look like to you right now?
  458. 19:52What are some
  459. 19:53>> [snorts]
  460. 19:53>> I guess definitions of success and then
  461. 19:56you let go of them.
  462. 19:57What are some differences in your values
  463. 19:59right now? What are the things that
  464. 20:07>> [laughter]
  465. 20:12>> Every girl has a dream to go to school,
  466. 20:15to be heard, to grow up free from fear.
  467. 20:18But for many Filipino girls, these
  468. 20:20dreams are out of reach. They face the
  469. 20:22harsh realities of early marriage,
  470. 20:24dropping out of school, and being
  471. 20:26silenced by poverty and inequality. But
  472. 20:29it doesn't have to stay this way. With
  473. 20:31your support, a girl can find her voice
  474. 20:34and speak up. She can learn, she can
  475. 20:37lead and rise strong and fearless. She
  476. 20:41can say no to the things that hold her
  477. 20:43back and yes to the life that she truly
  478. 20:45deserves.
  479. 20:46We ask you to please join the movement
  480. 20:49to raise your voice for a girl and walk
  481. 20:51alongside her on her journey to
  482. 20:53empowerment. Sponsor a girl by October
  483. 20:5611, International Day of the Girl, and
  484. 20:58be the reason she says, "Yes, I can."
  485. 21:01Because girls can. Visit
  486. 21:03worldvision.org.ph
  487. 21:05to learn more. So, let's start with my
  488. 21:08podcast, Life in Progress. That was just
  489. 21:11an experiment. Someone asked me, "Do you
  490. 21:13want to have a podcast?" I was like,
  491. 21:14"Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and go
  492. 21:15out."
  493. 21:17For me, my life is
  494. 21:20like a tree.
  495. 21:23Means
  496. 21:24fall season,
  497. 21:28the leaves, winter,
  498. 21:31then that I think is spring, then
  499. 21:33summer, it's all shiny.
  500. 21:35And
  501. 21:37I have accepted that.
  502. 21:38I don't want to be a perfect human
  503. 21:40being. That's boring. I want to make
  504. 21:42mistakes. I want to
  505. 21:44have struggles. I want to have a
  506. 21:46problems because
  507. 21:48that's a life worth remembering.
  508. 21:51I don't want to have a life everything
  509. 21:52is provided now.
  510. 21:59I have this playlist
  511. 22:02TikTok call stories for my kids.
  512. 22:05That's when I realized that
  513. 22:08I want to have someone who will listen
  514. 22:11to all the stories.
  515. 22:12Imagine having a mom who traveled well.
  516. 22:18Imagine having a mom that you can brag
  517. 22:21to school. My mom has been there. That's
  518. 22:24a legacy that my kids will be proud of.
  519. 22:30Yeah.
  520. 22:33When I was in my 20s, that's when I
  521. 22:35realized that
  522. 22:39>> [laughter]
  523. 22:40>> You know I realized that then I started
  524. 22:42to create stories meaningful now. I
  525. 22:44didn't know you must have a style now.
  526. 22:46So, that's what changed about me. And
  527. 22:49one thing is
  528. 22:51the meaning of success used to be for me
  529. 22:53hustle, hustle, hustle, productive
  530. 22:56now no rest is
  531. 22:58my definition of success. If you have
  532. 23:00the time to rest, you are successful.
  533. 23:03Amen. That's true.
  534. 23:03>> And if you have the time every day to go
  535. 23:06work out like two to three hours, that's
  536. 23:08success for me because people can't even
  537. 23:12walk.
  538. 23:13It's okay.
  539. 23:19That's all right.
  540. 23:21>> [laughter]
  541. 23:22>> So, you want to learn
  542. 23:27things to say something
  543. 23:29I want to do three things today.
  544. 23:34And you say there three things now.
  545. 23:37But I want to be there completely, fully
  546. 23:41and even my late
  547. 23:43and then you okay you need to learn the
  548. 23:46latest that I expect to have Yeah.
  549. 23:54in between to rest, to have coffee
  550. 23:58because rest is now success. Yeah. For
  551. 24:01me material things like
  552. 24:07because
  553. 24:09I didn't have anything before. But you
  554. 24:11know that's every successful person I
  555. 24:14know who came from nothing and got
  556. 24:16something always say
  557. 24:20Because I hear people say things about
  558. 24:23me.
  559. 24:29>> [laughter]
  560. 24:36>> Because I want to wear these things
  561. 24:38because they could have
  562. 24:41I love to wear Zimmerman. The whole
  563. 24:43collection
  564. 24:44why there's a story. You need to learn.
  565. 24:47I used to travel to Australia.
  566. 24:57Then the day came, my day came, my time
  567. 25:00is here and now I'm going to enjoy it
  568. 25:02and I'm never going to feel guilty about
  569. 25:04that.
  570. 25:08Some people say something because I can
  571. 25:10because I want to. I'm not doing it for
  572. 25:12other people.
  573. 25:20Yeah. Because I've seen so many people
  574. 25:23and I've learned my lesson from them.
  575. 25:25These these are closest people to me.
  576. 25:35Yeah. So, they gave me their lessons
  577. 25:37Angeli
  578. 25:44You just enjoy being a mom.
  579. 25:48You need to learn to let go.
  580. 25:50Biblical thing you know enjoy the fruits
  581. 25:51of your labor.
  582. 25:52Because I
  583. 25:54opposite before didn't even know
  584. 25:56I came from nothing. I I was one of
  585. 25:59those people that that you need to learn
  586. 26:01the most expensive and then
  587. 26:03my stepdad he told me you know it's
  588. 26:05biblical to enjoy the fruits of your
  589. 26:07labor because you work hard for it so
  590. 26:10how to how do you handle your money in a
  591. 26:13God honoring way?
  592. 26:19You prioritize are all in check. Then if
  593. 26:22so, you can enjoy the fruit of your
  594. 26:24labor. That's not a bad thing. So, I
  595. 26:26think that's really important then
  596. 26:28you're right when you become a mom you
  597. 26:29have a new priorities.
  598. 26:44emotionally, physically, mentally and my
  599. 26:48L L I L L Y
  600. 26:50Can I realize that you wanted to be a
  601. 26:52mom? Can I ask that personal question?
  602. 26:56I went on okay.
  603. 26:58I reunited ex-boyfriend call my ex love
  604. 27:01of my life. So,
  605. 27:02love of my life.
  606. 27:06I fired him.
  607. 27:07>> [laughter]
  608. 27:13[laughter]
  609. 27:14>> So,
  610. 27:15I reunited this year.
  611. 27:21And I try and try and no problem.
  612. 27:26But he did the
  613. 27:32I went on a long trip, birthday trip. I
  614. 27:34did New York, Arizona, Las Vegas, Mexico
  615. 27:38yeah.
  616. 27:42So, last trip was last segment of the
  617. 27:45trip was Easter Island. Easter Island is
  618. 27:47my favorite place.
  619. 27:50Everything felt so quiet.
  620. 27:55Normally some of you guys can adjust.
  621. 27:58You guys can
  622. 27:59anything. You guys can be happy.
  623. 28:01Ever since baby your favorite baby you
  624. 28:04guys can adjust. You guys can
  625. 28:06something.
  626. 28:09So, So, I I'm still am like that.
  627. 28:13Everything was so quiet. The plane, the
  628. 28:16airports.
  629. 28:23So, you
  630. 28:25can quiet.
  631. 28:27So, you can quiet in apartment.
  632. 28:29You need to
  633. 28:31learn birds
  634. 28:33you need to learn the way.
  635. 28:36So, you need to realize I don't want
  636. 28:38this.
  637. 28:40When I'm a little bit older.
  638. 28:44I don't know what you going to do so you
  639. 28:45can learn
  640. 28:46sexy things.
  641. 28:47All these things superficial things.
  642. 28:50You need to learn
  643. 28:51something about perfect your career
  644. 28:53success. You need to learn it. For me
  645. 28:56you need to realize experience
  646. 28:58maybe I think the reason why I feel so
  647. 29:01quiet is I'm ready for my next stage.
  648. 29:07You need to learn your first time to
  649. 29:09feel. So, when my mom comes home up to
  650. 29:12this day
  651. 29:28>> [gasps]
  652. 29:28>> I can I can already see my daughter who
  653. 29:30goes to school mama.
  654. 29:39Yeah.
  655. 29:41If I don't have kids you need to learn
  656. 29:44every time
  657. 29:46I don't want that. I called my eggs. No.
  658. 29:51I'll prepare you. So that I can take a
  659. 29:53lot of time to prepare myself for my egg
  660. 29:55freezing
  661. 29:57exercise. You know,
  662. 29:59as I've said earlier, I just want to
  663. 30:01prepare you next stage of life because
  664. 30:05this stage I'm enjoying right now when I
  665. 30:07had access, I was not prepared for it
  666. 30:09because nobody gave me
  667. 30:12a guidebook. Yeah. I'm so grateful to my
  668. 30:15parents. They were my loving they were
  669. 30:17responsible parents.
  670. 30:19>> Yeah.
  671. 30:19They provided me some responsibilities
  672. 30:22that they provide to and I will be
  673. 30:24forever grateful for that. Never going
  674. 30:27to discredit your parents. Go.
  675. 30:29But I built my life myself. I don't know
  676. 30:31what you call it self-made whatever you
  677. 30:32want to call it but you need to be a
  678. 30:34good person because I am good.
  679. 30:36>> Yeah. Because some people they only
  680. 30:38credit the self-made guy. Mhm. But
  681. 30:42why do we have to remove our parents
  682. 30:44from the picture? This is why I love you
  683. 30:47because you're a level-headed person.
  684. 30:49There's no such thing as a self-made
  685. 30:50person. My mom is part of my journey up
  686. 30:53to this day. So that interview I
  687. 30:55mentioned
  688. 30:56how can I just remove my mom and tell
  689. 30:59the world I'm self-made?
  690. 31:02My mom gave me education,
  691. 31:04home, shelter, food when my father died,
  692. 31:07everything. My mom is part of the
  693. 31:09formula. Yes. Until my last breath cuz
  694. 31:13I'm a chef a formula. So that's why
  695. 31:18you were not prepared when you gave
  696. 31:19birth to me because you married so young
  697. 31:22but I'm going to make sure I will be
  698. 31:24prepared for the next stage of my life.
  699. 31:26That's why I also went to therapy. I've
  700. 31:28been going for 3 years.
  701. 31:30Emotionally prepared now and mentally
  702. 31:32because I don't want to pass triggers
  703. 31:36we think those are small things. Those
  704. 31:39are not small things. We will pass that
  705. 31:41day. Yeah. Some people ask me after egg
  706. 31:43freezing.
  707. 31:47I was like no.
  708. 31:49My father died. Mhm.
  709. 31:53Yeah. So I need a difference. I
  710. 31:56personally believe in belief.
  711. 32:00Your family
  712. 32:02father may go go in mommy may go go in.
  713. 32:06Yeah. But when I have a choice to be a
  714. 32:07single mom going to be in both but if I
  715. 32:10have the choice to have a dad, why would
  716. 32:13I choose to pass on what I already
  717. 32:15experienced that I never wanted to
  718. 32:16experience with my own dad. Go. It's so
  719. 32:19important the role of fathers. Yeah.
  720. 32:21>> We cannot just say oh feminism
  721. 32:23whatsoever. I can have my own child.
  722. 32:25Yes, you can. Absolutely. That's your
  723. 32:27personal choice but that's not
  724. 32:29applicable to me. Yeah. I want a father
  725. 32:32for my kids.
  726. 32:33Because you buy your own you buy your
  727. 32:35own go. Mhm. I'm not sure if this is
  728. 32:38proven on the go.
  729. 32:41Your father down with the provide say in
  730. 32:43identity. Mhm.
  731. 32:45Like see no guy in the world now you mom
  732. 32:47down in a nurture your identity because
  733. 32:50you know you part.
  734. 32:56But that's true data. So there's data
  735. 32:58that shows that children who have no
  736. 33:00father figure growing up are more likely
  737. 33:02to end up in prison, are less likely to
  738. 33:04finish college, are more likely to get
  739. 33:07into trouble because having a strong
  740. 33:08father figure
  741. 33:10is really important in their lives and
  742. 33:12and I think that's such a valuable
  743. 33:13insight. You know, there's there's
  744. 33:15certain people who don't have that
  745. 33:17choice but you're right there. If you
  746. 33:19have that choice, why will you rob your
  747. 33:21child
  748. 33:22>> Yes. of that opportunity and privilege
  749. 33:24to grow up with a father and and that's
  750. 33:26so important and I think that's why I'm
  751. 33:29going to say
  752. 33:31taking care of our marriage, loving each
  753. 33:33other, taking care of each other so that
  754. 33:36our children can benefit from a healthy
  755. 33:38marriage cuz at the end of the day
  756. 33:39that's really what you want, right?
  757. 33:43Yes.
  758. 33:45>> [laughter]
  759. 33:45>> Thanks to my therapist Anna.
  760. 33:49Emotional, mental, physical and
  761. 33:51spiritual growth.
  762. 33:52>> Yes. All in a span.
  763. 33:55>> [laughter]
  764. 34:01[laughter]
  765. 34:01>> I'm so I'm so blessed to hear all of
  766. 34:04that. I I feel like we could go on for 6
  767. 34:07more hours.
  768. 34:10>> [laughter]
  769. 34:11>> Fast
  770. 34:13facts. The first the first principle or
  771. 34:16idea that comes to your mind when I say
  772. 34:18these words.
  773. 34:19>> Okay.
  774. 34:23Travel. Education.
  775. 34:26Purpose.
  776. 34:30Evolves. Mhm. Family.
  777. 34:33Everything. Love.
  778. 34:37Uh
  779. 34:39changes. Aw. Money.
  780. 34:43It shows who just work. No, it doesn't
  781. 34:46have to be just a word. Well, then I'm
  782. 34:47going to change all my answers.
  783. 34:49>> [laughter]
  784. 34:50>> I think money money shows who you really
  785. 34:53are. Mhm. Once you have it. Once you get
  786. 34:56to touch it. Chinkee Tan said the same
  787. 34:59thing here on the podcast. He says money
  788. 35:01doesn't change people. It reveals them.
  789. 35:03>> It shows who you are. That's why that's
  790. 35:05what I've said earlier.
  791. 35:09Mhm.
  792. 35:15Choice.
  793. 35:16That's the most
  794. 35:19thing.
  795. 35:20You have to be patient to say you can
  796. 35:23see it really shows all about the way
  797. 35:25you are a person cuz you Mhm.
  798. 35:30Yeah.
  799. 35:33You treat me how I was
  800. 35:36when I was just starting. You don't
  801. 35:38treat me who I am today. Yeah.
  802. 35:43I need a gift for you.
  803. 35:46>> [laughter]
  804. 35:51>> So I don't want people
  805. 35:53to treat me differently just because
  806. 35:55well, I consider myself I made it based
  807. 35:57on my definition.
  808. 35:59I actually get hurt when people
  809. 36:01treat me differently. Mhm.
  810. 36:06This is me. If I don't look at myself
  811. 36:08like that,
  812. 36:10why other people are looking at me like
  813. 36:12that? Like you're going to question the
  814. 36:14but
  815. 36:17level of understanding.
  816. 36:19>> I think it's also defense mechanism for
  817. 36:20a lot of people who have experienced how
  818. 36:23people change or reveal themselves when
  819. 36:26they have money. Then all of a sudden
  820. 36:28they act more important, they demand
  821. 36:30more things. It's a different kind of
  822. 36:32person already but I think that's what
  823. 36:35makes you special in my opinion. You
  824. 36:37know, you you know who you are. You're
  825. 36:39grounded in your values so money doesn't
  826. 36:41really change anything. It just reveals
  827. 36:43that.
  828. 36:43>> just want to add like when people call
  829. 36:45me oh influencer, I'm going to be
  830. 36:48I'm an entrepreneur. Yeah. Because
  831. 36:49that's how I started and I want to keep
  832. 36:51it that way. I never want to change like
  833. 36:54I don't want to start. You're just an
  834. 36:56influential entrepreneur.
  835. 36:57>> I'm just an entrepreneur. I don't want
  836. 36:59to be called anything else. I mean with
  837. 37:01all due respect to all the influencers.
  838. 37:03I am Yeah. I just like who I am and
  839. 37:08I just want to evolve from there. The
  840. 37:10world always tells you be like this, be
  841. 37:12like that. I've accepted myself now.
  842. 37:15Everything. That's why
  843. 37:17when you accept yourself completely,
  844. 37:20nobody can use it against you.
  845. 37:22Yeah. Okay. Finally. I am final.
  846. 37:25Progress.
  847. 37:29Progress, you are allowed to change and
  848. 37:32please change. That would be my goal.
  849. 37:40>> [laughter]
  850. 37:47>> See right but look at my diamond girl.
  851. 37:51>> [laughter]
  852. 37:52>> And I enjoy it. I've seen myself from
  853. 37:55this to this to this when you see all of
  854. 37:58your versions. You love more Joyce.
  855. 38:01I'm so so proud.
  856. 38:03>> So Angeli now with everything stripped,
  857. 38:07your traveling, your life here in
  858. 38:09Manila, maybe even your businesses and
  859. 38:11your work, who are you?
  860. 38:13What is the season of Angeli now? Right
  861. 38:17now,
  862. 38:19I think everything I've done in my life
  863. 38:22I don't want to enjoy.
  864. 38:25I mean I've always said this. I don't
  865. 38:27want to be perfect and I'll never be and
  866. 38:28I don't want to be.
  867. 38:30But I want to continue to learn.
  868. 38:33The world is
  869. 38:34so big.
  870. 38:36There's there's one thing I've listened
  871. 38:38to 2 days ago. Some guy it's always the
  872. 38:42uneducated people
  873. 38:44who think they know it all. Mhm. But if
  874. 38:47you are an educated person,
  875. 38:50you'll always be a curious person. Mhm.
  876. 38:54And it has nothing to do with school.
  877. 38:56Yeah. When we say educated and educated,
  878. 38:58it's just
  879. 38:59you look at the world
  880. 39:01like a school. Mhm. Open university. I
  881. 39:04learn from you. I learn from this
  882. 39:06person. But every person you learn
  883. 39:08something. Yeah. That's who I am right
  884. 39:10now. Everything
  885. 39:13for last my whole life basically.
  886. 39:19My clients don't look for me anymore.
  887. 39:22Yeah.
  888. 39:22For me, I want to enjoy that. I want to
  889. 39:26enjoy
  890. 39:28every watch I can buy, every Max Mara
  891. 39:31suit I can buy. I want to enjoy. We I
  892. 39:33don't feel guilty. Yeah. I'm so sorry if
  893. 39:36you did not get what you wanted in life.
  894. 39:41Get what you wanted in life. Probably
  895. 39:44didn't get
  896. 39:52I had the least among us all.
  897. 40:01So, some of my my brother and sisters
  898. 40:03didn't want to get married. But,
  899. 40:11You are not my responsibility. We gave
  900. 40:13you way more than
  901. 40:15way more than enough. And that's love.
  902. 40:17And that's love. You have to learn life
  903. 40:19on your own.
  904. 40:20I'm going to give you anything. I'm not
  905. 40:21going to give you anything. I'm not
  906. 40:22going to give you anything.
  907. 40:28I'm in a family and I so loved the
  908. 40:30whole. We love each other.
  909. 40:37But, as the eldest child, I have to
  910. 40:39remind my siblings. I'm here because the
  911. 40:42noble down work.
  912. 40:45So, okay now.
  913. 40:46So, I want to enjoy that. And you know
  914. 40:48what, Angeli? The reason why I adore you
  915. 40:51is because you are the perfect balance
  916. 40:54of crazy and level-headed.
  917. 40:56>> Yes.
  918. 40:57>> That is that and that's really what you
  919. 40:58want in life. Crazy enough to dream big
  920. 41:01dreams, crazy enough to move to a
  921. 41:03different country to try new things, to
  922. 41:05meet new people, but level-headed enough
  923. 41:07to know what really matters in life. And
  924. 41:09I think that's really inspiring.
  925. 41:16People ask me to talk about travel. So,
  926. 41:18yes, traveling is good, but there's also
  927. 41:21a thing called life. You cannot just
  928. 41:22keep on rewarding yourself.
  929. 41:28Travel is a reward. We live in reality.
  930. 41:31Yeah.
  931. 41:33But, it's not everyone's reality. You
  932. 41:35cannot just tell people travel, inspire,
  933. 41:37see the world.
  934. 41:39>> Yeah. We we you have to create systems,
  935. 41:41financial stability.
  936. 41:43So,
  937. 41:45life
  938. 41:46is more enjoyable when we are
  939. 41:48responsible. Yeah.
  940. 41:52I'm having words of wisdom. [laughter]
  941. 41:58Thank you, Angeli, for being on the
  942. 41:59podcast. For making time, for always
  943. 42:02being humble, and always being confident
  944. 42:05at the same time.
  945. 42:06>> Last last learning.
  946. 42:07>> Okay. Last learning.
  947. 42:08>> My client wants to hold me.
  948. 42:10The same confidence you used to build
  949. 42:13your business will be misinterpreted by
  950. 42:16people
  951. 42:17as arrogance. And that's okay. You never
  952. 42:20let that
  953. 42:22come close to you.
  954. 42:24That insight.
  955. 42:30It's a cultural thing.
  956. 42:31>> Because it's a sin to love your life,
  957. 42:35to be confident about your journey, and
  958. 42:37to believe in your timeline.
  959. 42:40Or to just be straight-forward. Yes,
  960. 42:42it's a sin.
  961. 42:47To whom it may concern. I don't like and
  962. 42:50I don't have time. I'm sorry. I'd rather
  963. 42:53spend the time with my mother.
  964. 42:54>> [laughter]
  965. 43:00>> Angeli, thank you for being on the
  966. 43:02podcast.
  967. 43:04Always a pleasure to sit down and catch
  968. 43:06up with you. You're inspiring, you're
  969. 43:08beautiful, and I can't wait. And crazy,
  970. 43:10but crazy good at what you do and who
  971. 43:13you are. And I pray for the best for
  972. 43:15you. Can't wait to have you on the
  973. 43:16podcast again. Let's not wait for 5
  974. 43:19years.
  975. 43:19>> No, no, no. Amen and amen.
  976. 43:23>> [laughter]
  977. 43:25>> See you guys in the next episode of
  978. 43:26Adulting with Joy Spring.
