Saan mo nilalagay 'yung kinita mo? In this episode, I invited my sister, Julie Benamera, a financial advisor, to ask about the importance of having an insurance here in the Philippines, who she thinks needs it the most, and why most of us still hasn't grasped the urgency to get one despite the 2-year pandemic we all experienced. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joy-benamera/message

In this episode, we are joined by two of my closest, Bianca Loredo and Rubec Moyano (again). We discussed how we respond to conversations initiated by a friend, a relative, or a loved one where we have opposing opinions and how we address it without hurting their feelings. And in a true barkada kwentuhan fashion, the topic went off track and turned into a discussion about a relentless head to head with an arch enemy and defining what a healthy competition really is. Keep listening 'til the end to find out how it happened.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joy-benamera/message

In today’s episode, my friend (Kreng Inay Wee) and I decided to make a list of our expectations 10 years ago of what our lives will be vs how it all turned out. We talked about the careers we used to dream of, what we thought we will look like once we’re in our 30s, our expectations about settling down, what we expected real success will look like, and all the choices we made that surprisingly broke all those expectations. It’s our birthday episode and you are all invited! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joy-benamera/message

In this episode, we are joined by my good friend Rubec Moyano, aka the Christina Yang to my Meredith Grey, as we talk about the petty problems that still exist in the world of adults despite all that’s happening in the world. The word petty was mentioned a thousand times. You’ve been warned. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/joy-benamera/message

In this episode, we are joined by three of my closest friends, Pat Manuel, April Velasco, and Kreng Wee to talk about what makes us afraid to dive into the unknown. We shared thoughts on how do we launch ourselves despite the fear as I share the reasons why I started a podcast. Happy listening!

In this episode, join me and my guests, Jack Cabanayan and Albert Atienza, as we discuss how challenging it is to leave a friendship that is no longer working, how we dealt with it, the life after it, and how sometimes, it’s one of the decisions that will initiate the pivot in your life, both for you and the people you were once friends with. P.S. I might have mentioned in this episode that I will launch the podcast with my Mother as the first guest. Unfortunately, Mother couldn’t make time to do a full episode with me without interruption. And when we’re interrupted, I will not just lose her for 5 minutes. And we can’t do that. So we are launching the first episode with friends instead. Enjoy!
