Seen by Many, Known by Few | Gladys Reyes on Off the Agenda with TLC

Maybe the real work is staying yourself after others label you.In Episode 5 of Off The Agenda with TLC, Tonichi, Larah, and Claire are joined by special guest Gladys Reyes for a conversation that goes way beyond the “kontrabida” everyone grew up knowing her for.From her Little Miss Philippines days to becoming one of television’s most iconic kontrabidas, Gladys opens up about growing up in the public eye while trying to hold on to who she is outside of the roles people remember her for. In a touch deeper on motherhood and the work of staying true through it all, beneath all the stories and laughter is something understood by most: what it means to be remembered for one version of yourself while still growing into another. Pull up a chair and catch up with us. Somehow, it lands differently when you hear it from her. Find Gladys Reyes-Sommereux on Instagram: @iamgladysreyesOff The Record, On Your Heart:Not Everyone Who Misunderstands You Is Your Enemy.

Some labels don’t limit you when you stop treating them like something to fix, and start treating them like something to master.Loving the Job Means You Don’t Need to Be Liked for Every Part of It.  When you’re grounded in the craft, approval becomes optional, and consistency becomes the real reward.Being Misunderstood Publicly Is Part of Being Visible. The trade is that the more people see you, the more versions of you get created without your input. © 2026 A Team Dklutr Production
