🎧 Mga Ka-Kuda, ready na ba kayo for some real talk?
"Ano ginagawa mo bakit nasa bahay ka lang?"
"Paano ka kikita diyan, piso-piso, barya-barya?"
"Akala nila pa live-live lang ako sa Facebook."
"Tingnan mo yung pinsan mo, nasa abroad na."
Sound familiar? Yan ang ilang maririnig mo sa kamag-anak mo o minsan sa sarili mong magulang, na hindi sang-ayon sa tinahak mong career path bilang freelancer o entrepreneur. Mas masakit marinig ito sa mga ka-dugo, di ba? Parang mas madali pa tanggapin ang rejection letter sa client kesa sa mga side comments ng family sa reunion.
It is hard to accept, lalo na when the negative remarks and comparisons continuously play at the back of your mind like a broken Spotify playlist na puro sad songs. Pero siguro isipin na lang na concern lang sila... or are they?
Sa episode na ito, sina Sheryl LD and Sariah talk about the painful reality na minsan, ang biggest critics natin ay hindi stranger sa internet - kundi yung mga taong dapat sana ay support system natin. They tackle the uncomfortable truth about family dynamics, cultural expectations, and how to protect your peace without burning bridges (unless necessary).
Real talk lang pero dapat pag-usapan
You cannot please everybody, and newsflash - you don't even have to explain yourself to them. Your bank account and mental health matter more than their outdated opinions about "tunay na trabaho."
Sheryl LD and Sariah drop truth bombs about:
-Breaking free from people-pleasing coping mechanisms-Setting boundaries na hindi ka magmu-mukhang "walang respeto"-Why seeking validation from unsupportive family is like asking a fish to climb a tree-The difference between genuine concern and control disguised as "love"
