Making HerStory

Studies have shown that 1 in 10 women have PCOS. A bit small against the experience of having 1 or more close friends, a sister or even us battling the condition. From acne, body hair or irregular cycles, PCOS is definitely tough to deal with. It has been said that the condition goes undiagnosed most of the time. It's high time that we addressed that. As the 7th episode for season 3 and as part of our mission to address all things herstory, we invited our social media maven, Dippy Arceo as host and our go-to OB-GYN Dra. Grace Estanislao - - her second guesting this season as medical adviser for our guest Felicia Ferraris and our listeners on how to battle PCOS better. Yes ladies, we can get through this!

Ever wondered what it’s like to be a female doctor, let alone an OB-GYN in the midst of the pandemic? Dr. Grace Estanislao worked as Chief Resident in one of the top hospitals in the country - The Medical City. She shares with us what it was like to be practicing her profession especially in the midst of the pandemic and even being awarded as Most Outstanding Resident despite going through challenges, as a young budding MD. To all medical professionals, hats off to you for your service!

When will we stop pleasing people and start pleasing ourselves? This question is what we often ask to the universe when we find ourselves in a compromise. Bakit ganun?? We give so much to other people and then, wonder why we're unhappy and we feel spent. In this episode, we share our own ways of setting boundaries and unpack the reasons why we even feel guilty to set them.

In this episode, one of us was stressed! What do you do when something unexpected happens? When a contract doesn’t fall through? When a client is not getting their end of the bargain? Not a lot may know but these are nerve-wracking things that even the best of us find hard to manage. How did we cope? Check it out in this episode.

In this exclusive episode, we invited Congresswoman Nikka Co. Cong. Nikka has been making waves championing our health workers on a national level through the BHW or Barangay Health Workers party-list. She gives us a glimpse of how it’s like as a woman to work in politics and governance. Not many women are able to step up to the plate but with Cong Nikka, she shows you can take on anything whether press interviews or passing a bill if you just believe in yourself and have a great support system around you. She shares her secrets to conquering all of these with style.
