Two tita friends trying to make meaningful conversation during this quarantine season. Eavesdrop and join us as we talk with and learn from each other.
In this episode, we’re chatting with Team Bebot (@teambebot), a group of Filipina moms and corporate women in the UAE who are redefining what it means to train, hustle, and live life fully. From juggling careers and family to pushing their limits at HYROX Istanbul last February, they share the highs, the struggles, and the sisterhood that keeps them showing up.

American author, coach, speaker, and philanthropist Tony Robbins describes the "abundance mindset" as "the belief that there are enough resources in the world for everyone – and of being grateful for whatever the universe provides."

Episode 3: Eat That Damn Cookie! Debunking diet and fitness myths
Yes, we want to have that cookie, and we want it now.
For this episode, we discovered why depriving ourselves ruins our diet, or at least our chance to see that weighing scale move towards the right direction.
We interviewed Ching's nutrition coach, Kristia "Tia" Roco, who started this movement called "The Joy of Eating" which is helping Filipinas rediscover their love for eating while keeping themselves physically fit and healthy.
Coach Tia's no-nonsense approach towards nutrition and exercise is a breath of fresh air that will hopefully help point us in the right direction as we start our fitness journey this New Year.
