Episode 9: Vision Boarding our 2026, Tita Style

Vision Boarding for 2026 | Catching Up, Letting Go & Classic Tita Tangents In this episode, we’re vision boarding for 2026—Tita style. We start by catching up and sharing our top three highlights from 2025, then reflect on what we’re ready to let go of as we move into a new year. We each share one word we want to manifest for 2026, talking through what it means to us in this season of life as moms, wives, friends, and women in our golden era. And because we’re your Titas… we don’t stay on topic the whole time. Expect laughs, side stories, real-life reflections, and plenty of tangents along the way. Come chika with us as we look back, release what no longer serves us, and step into 2026 with intention—Tita-approved. xoxo - Joie, Mel, & MJ Music Credit - Hallman / Whispers in the Wind / courtesy of www.epidemicsound.com

In this episode, the titas get real about Filipino mom culture — the values we inherited, the habits we questioned, and the funny, frustrating, and heartfelt moments in between. From “Kita ko ang p* p** mo!”* to the classic “Bahala ka sa buhay mo,” we reflect on the lines that raised us, the discipline that defined us, and the unspoken love that came with every plate of food. We’re talking about what we’ve kept, what we’ve changed, and how we’re navigating motherhood in our own Tita way. Whether you’re laughing, wincing, or nodding in agreement — this episode is for you. 🎧 Audio podcast available on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube [https://youtu.be/DGkfQwCCuYw?si=qbjkAh5raO2PdRnB] 🎥 Video podcast available on YouTube [https://youtu.be/GO3bmoaQE4M?si=px_Cf5qMgt_MynrK]   Music Credit: Whispers in the Wind | Hallman | Courtesy of EpidemicSound.com

Episode 6 - Growing Up on Guam vs. Living in the Bay Area - Audio only Pod

Episode 6: Growing Up on Guam vs. Living in the Bay Area – What We Miss, What’s Different, and Why We Still Crave Fiesta Plates We’re finally back together IRL—recording this episode while lounging on Tita Joie’s couch, just like the old days (but with mics). In this chika-filled session, we take a heartfelt stroll down memory lane and compare our childhoods growing up on Guam to our current lives in the San Francisco Bay Area. From tight-knit island community vibes to the fast pace of mainland living, we talk about what’s changed, what we carry with us, and what we still hold sacred—like fiesta plates stacked high with red rice, BBQ chicken, and kelaguen. Join us as we reflect on the culture, comfort, and chaos that shaped us then and now.
