Three Filipino moms raised on Guam getting together to talk all things life in our “golden” era: parenting teens and young adults, perimenopause, menopause, grief, sisterhood, and anything that comes to mind - with an occasional dose of light-hearted Taglish. (*Taglish - a mix of Tagalog and English words used during conversations.) Join us and our producer bestie for our “chika” sessions.
Background - 50 year old 1st generation American born/Guam raised Filipino moms, wives, lifelong friends ready to share our thoughts on everything
We planned a hike. We did not hike.
In Episode 10 — the Tita Remix — your Titas threw out the script and gave you a full, unscripted seven-hour girls’ day out, captured from breakfast to the final bite at Mendocino Farms. No agenda. No outline. Just Joie, Mel, and MJ being exactly who they are — flexible, fun, and always down for a pivot.
It started at breakfast where we caught MJ’s pants inside out (yes, really), and only got better from there — a stroll through Williams Sonoma, a candy stop, not one but TWO Sephora visits, a dreamy pause for Turkish coffee and desserts, a Nordstrom Rack hunt, a Whole Foods run, and a final landing at Mendocino Farms. Life updates, food talk, random tangents, and seven hours of the kind of friendship that feels like home.
This one’s for every woman who’s ever swapped “let’s be healthy today” for “actually, let’s brunch and shop.” It was a mental health day. And honestly? Best prescription ever.
Ingat at mahal namin kayo!
xoxo – Joie, Mel & MJ

Episode 3: Grief and Healing: Navigation Loss in Our Midlife
In this deeply personal episode of Chika with your Titas, we open our hearts to talk about grief and how it shows up in our lives during midlife. From the loss of siblings, children, and lifelong friends, we reflect on how these heartbreaking moments have shaped us, how we carry our loved ones in our everyday lives, and how healing is not a straight path. We share how grief can appear unexpectedly, how it connects to the loss of futures we once imagined, and how we find comfort in sisterhood, storytelling, and remembering them with love. We also explore how grief and love can—and do—coexist, and how embracing both allows us to honor those we’ve lost while continuing to live fully. Get your tissues ready, Titas—it’s a tender, tearful, and healing chika.
