Things are feeling heavy especially as a woman of color navigating work, family and everything else, so how do you even work right now in this chaos without betraying yourself? 

  • How do you make sure you honor yourself?
  • How do you advocate and educate WITHOUT the burnout? Or how do you not feel guilty if you don’t have it in you? 
  • How can you be transparent with colleagues with how you’re feeling, while setting boundaries?

In this episode, I’m sharing what I’m doing to personally navigate this season, especially as a proud daughter of a Filipino immigrant farmer and Angeleno.

Whether you’re in a 9–5, building your own business, or somewhere in between, this episode will help you reflect on:

  • What it means to work with integrity
  • Build buffer space into your life
  • and protect your peace in the chaos.
