Optimizing your environment | embodied EP. 10
I often feel that the work-from-home phenomena has been glorified since the pandemic, and while I do agree with all of its benefits and convenience in this digital age, I often find myself struggling to stay productive. My personal experience in cultivating a space of productivity, rest, and inspiration has led me to talk about the importance of optimizing and being aware of your current environment. I understand that not everyone can easily move up and out of their current town, but I encourage you to not look too far as you're searching for a place of comfort. Everything you need is already near you!

Get Rid of Your Scarcity Mindset | embodied EP. 7
This topic is one that is near and dear to my heart. For the longest time, I've dealt with a scarcity mindset, and it's pushed me towards feeling so insecure and unmotivated to keep going and fighting for the life that I want. I invite you to take a step back and learn more about an abundant mindset to help change our perspectives on the different opportunities that are about to come our way.

The Importance of Rest | EP. 4
In this episode, we talk about the importance of rest. What does rest mean? How do we relax? What is value of doing "nothing"? This episode was filmed in July of 2021. Lots has changed since then, but I decided to keep this episode within the first season since it still feels so relevant in 2023.

Filipina Beauty Standards (feat. Rio Dael) | embodied by ajay pawaan BONUS EPISODE
I'm very grateful to have had my good friend and co-artist, Rio Dael, (AKA, 2019 MISS FILIPINA INTERNATIONAL 3RD RUNNER UP!!!) to stop by and record one of our many conversations that we continuously have about the Filipina Experience. Rio and I discussed matters about how our culture’s ridiculous beauty standards have affected both of us growing up. We talk about skin-whitening, body image, Filipino accents, and more!
