Mental Health Ka Diyan podcast is here to build a space where conscious practitioners come together (from the medical field to holistic/spiritual), people who genuinely have the heart to help.
Here, we also talk to individuals who have lived through mental health struggles and explore how they’ve navigated their journey.
Our goal? To empower YOU to make more CONSCIOUS, ALIGNED CHOICES when it comes to your mental health and the people you invite into that journey.
So yeah, let’s HEAL STRONGER TOGETHER. 🫶
To more episodes! This is just the beginning! 🎯

Tara, pakinggan natin ‘tong episode na ‘to. Hindi para matakot, kundi para mas maintindihan natin kung paano natin mapapalaki ang mga bata na mas buo, mas ligtas, at mas konektado.
Dahil sabi nga ni Eli: “It all starts with the nest.”

This Podcast Is Not for Everyone And That’s the Point | Kai Villlanueva
------ SPECIAL EPISODE ------ Mental Health Ka Diyan isn’t here to tell you what to think or give you a 60-second answer to everything. 😅
In this solo episode, Kai gets personal about what this podcast actually stands for: taking accountability for your emotions, learning to regulate them, being more intentional about the content you consume, and staying open to different perspectives on mental health and healing. Because minsan, hindi sapat ang “gets ko na ’yan” after one Reel.
We need context, discernment, and yes… konting tingin din sa sarili natin. Aray. 😬 If you’re willing to ask deeper questions, explore different perspectives, and take more agency over your own well-being, this conversation is for you.

Ano Ba Talaga Ang Toxic Positivity?
Hindi lahat ng positive words, tamang sabihin sa lahat ng oras.
Kasama ni Kai si Eric Dimar, Registered Psychologist, at Registered Guidance Counselor, para pag-usapan kung bakit may mga salitang akala nating nakaka-comfort pero puwedeng makapagpa-feel na hindi valid ang pinagdadaanan ng isang tao. Sa episode na ito, pinag-usapan nila kung paano maging present, paano makinig nang may empathy, at kung ano ang puwede mong sabihin kapag gusto mong makatulong, hindi lang makapagbigay ng advice.
Kung gusto mong mas maging maingat sa mga salitang binibitawan mo at mas maintindihan kung paano tunay na makasuporta sa isang taong nahihirapan, pakinggan ang buong episode sa Spotify at panoorin sa YouTube.
