TITA Talks

you are chosen. let's talk about it. know that in many ways this is our truth. chosen by our ancestors and by the community that is actively manifesting us and our gifts. in this ep, i share how a session with @manang.lauren._ (lauren's handle on ig) brought forward a memory of being deeply chosen by one of my ancestors and how that memory of being chosen has grounded me into the work i do today.

my work with baybayin baby (peep @katdaaca on ig if you don't know!) was recently included in a news article about the resurgence of baybayin. i discuss the feature, how it's important to me that sacred rage is reflected in my work, and that collectively we should be mindful of how our stories are kept and told. 

I'M SO EMOTIONAL (but also learning so much <3). my lola (or nanay aka grandma) was hospitalized and after two months of caring for her, I learned soo many lessons, which I have conveniently categorized for you in three lesson themes: (1) on getting better; (2) on guidance and channeled messages; and (3) on love/care/family. spoiler alert: she *almost* cries. ok, love you- enjoy! 

it’s been a while!!! I’m really out here living in my journal entries but tell me why the second I feel momentum building I’m met with hella resistance? in this season of my life, I’m really welcoming the resistance as part of a full human experience and as a lil ancestor test to see if I’m really about it. always divinely guided, always divinely protected <3  

this episode feels like catching up with a gf. it me- I'm the gf. listen in to how I'm learning that the magic I'm seeking in my life is truly in the doing, showing up, and being in service to community. heart so full!

listen in to how I essentially ran away to tulum for three months, fell in love with a sun-kissed / sheltered from capitalism / slowed down / nourished version of myself, spiraled into a depressy moldy state after being thrown back into the forced consumerism of a busy city, and upon sharing this depressy state on ig was met with surprise that I wasn't doing well. we're all collectively going through it!!! 

in this episode I pre-recorded in 2022, we talk about how liberating it is to break free from narratives that do not belong to us AND how we can take not accepting those narratives one step further by taking inspired action. 

one of the unexpected byproducts of being on this journey to connect back to myself and back to kapwa is that I have a changed relationship to time, one that is less linear and more cyclical. listen in to how deepening kapwa relations has expanded my relationship to time. 

be cringe and do it anyway!! let's talk about who benefits from us not engaging in the activities that make us feel cringe. cause it's not us. the world needs your creations. listen in to how engaging in activities that make us cringe is an act of resistance.

in today's episode, we talk practices and journal prompts to ease into, what I'm calling, my soft and unhurried era. how can we invite kapwa into our seasons of rest to soften some of the sometimes very critical questions that go into planning what's next?
