My Offering to You

My twenties was the period that I grew the most, where I discovered my passions and myself. I found love, said goodbye to love, and found love again. My twenties was an adventure, filled with growth. But one of the hardest lessons I have learned comes from this decade in my life.In this episode, I talk about how I struggled navigating the changes in my relationships and friendships as we transitioned from college into postgrad life. What was once a 15 min walk to hang out in college, became 3 weeks to a month in advance to see one another in our postgrad years. It took most of this decade to discover how I could reframe and shift my perspective in coming to terms with these changes.Listen on Apple Podcasts & Spotify.Follow on Instagram: @myofferingtoyou.Logo Art by Ella Apuntar.

Welcome to My Offering to You, hosted by Arlan Mendiola! From being in community with others, I have learned that my strengths have been my vulnerability, reflections, and stories. In each episode, I want to share a story or a reflection about life with you. Some of these stories are about how to have a stronger and deeper relationship with yourself or others. Or even how to discover your future career or really, your life's calling. I hope that these stories and reflections create a spark, provide clarity, or even new possibility for you.Listen on Apple Podcasts & Spotify.Follow on Instagram: @myofferingtoyou.Logo Art by Ella Apuntar.
