We’re the ones rebuilding quietly.
Not because we failed, but because we finally said no more.

No more rushing to be recognized.
No more pretending we are not tired.
No more bending ourselves for metrics, applause, or curated feeds.

We believe presence is more powerful than being busy.
That connection runs deeper than clout.
That purpose will outlast pressure.

We create slowly, because slow is sustainable.
We build systems, because we don’t rise to our goals, we fall to our habits.
We work in between nap times, because rest is sacred, for the little ones and for us.

We believe income can feel nourishing.
That creativity doesn’t need a spotlight.
And that meaningful work never demands our burnout as proof.

We believe abundance is not earned through exhaustion.
It’s already here -- woven into our presence,
our pace, our enoughness.

We’re not broken.
We’re becoming.
We’re tired.
We’re inspired.
We’re doing it our way.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬.

Didn’t expect much, just answered a few questions inside ConvertKit’s FB group…

Saw a post inside the group...
a creator was looking for someone to help with their newsletter setup.

So I raised my hand.
No pitch deck. No shiny portfolio.
Just answered a few questions, then hopped on a quick call.

Next thing I knew,
📩 “You’ve been invited to School of Noble Thoughts on Kit!”

Now officially helping out part-time, supporting a creator whose work aligns with how I want to live and work.

It’s moments like this that remind me...

I don’t need to be loud to be seen.

just be real.
just be ready.
just be me.

Been writing emails lately for small biz owners.
Nakakaaliw pala when you imagine the subscriber reading it.
Minsan 1 email lang ang difference between someone buying from you or forgetting you!
Thinking of opening a few slots soon... DM "EMAIL" to get more details.

04/05/2025

A “thank you for subscribing” email is nice, but...

It's kinda forgettable.

You know what’s actually fun?

Writing emails that DON'T sound like everyone else’s.

Weird, right?

Pero seriously...

Lalo na when you're helping online sellers connect with their new subscribers in a way that actually feels real.

I’ve been doing more of this lately, and nakakatuwa how one simple email can set the tone for the whole relationship.

Think about it...

First impression palang, you already have the chance to make someone feel seen.

Parang first meet IRL.

Gusto mong maramdaman nila na they’re in the right place.
Na you get them.
Na you're not just here to sell something.

When I started writing welcome emails for creators, doon ko talaga na-feel:
It’s NOT just about convincing someone to buy.
It’s about giving them a reason to care.

A small peek into what they can expect from you.

This is why I love helping creators craft those first emails.

That’s the stuff that makes people stay.

It’s more than just a “Hey, welcome!”

It’s the start of something real.

Parang handshake—pero email version. 😁

And when you get that right?

Trust follows.
Connections build.
Sales come without forcing anything.

----
Want a welcome email that sounds like you, not like a robot?
DM me “WELCOME” and I’ll help you start strong.

The first email you send after someone signs up matters more than you think.

It’s your chance to:
💭 set the tone
💭 let them know what to expect
💭 remind them why they signed up in the first place

And yet, ang daming first emails na sobrang awkward or sobrang salesy agad. 😥

Tip 📌
Start with something that sounds like a convo not a pitch.

“Hey! I’m so glad you’re here.
You signed up because [reason], and here’s what you’ll get…”

That one shift builds more trust than any promotions.

Hello, it’s me — Shy.

I haven’t been posting much kasi ang daming ganap lately:

✔️ We just moved our computer shop to a new location (finally!)
✔️ The house got a little louder with my 1-month-old niece
✔️ My daughter tried chess classes... she didn’t want to enroll, but she still likes playing for fun

In between all that, I’m slowly getting back to my email marketing projects.

And habang nag-aayos ako ng schedules and drafts...

Na-realize ko ang daming small business owners who want to send emails, but don’t know where to start.

Kahit yung welcome emails lng.

So before my brain explodes with all these ideas, I decided I’ll start sharing again. 😁

Kaya if you’re curious about email marketing, building your list, or just making your emails sound more like you (and less like a robot), stay tuned.

You can also DM me if you want to chat.
Chill lang, no pressure.

I AM NOT CREATIVE.

For the longest time, I never saw myself as someone artistic.

When I was a kid, someone told me my drawing was ugly. 😅

I don’t even remember who said it, where, or how. But it stuck.

From that moment on, every time there was an opportunity to be creative—whether it was drawing, painting, or making posters—I’d tell myself, that’s not for me.

A major limiting belief.

Until one day, someone told me, "You are creative."

I laughed and said, "No, I was never good at drawing or anything artsy."

And they replied, "Creativity isn’t just about art."

That hit me.

So I looked it up. Merriam-Webster defines creativity as “the ability or power to create.”

And I realized… wait a minute, I am creative.

I create templates from scratch.
I create documentations.
I create workflows.

It’s not just about art.

And once that belief was gone, I even started experimenting with art, too. 🥰

Because creativity isn’t limited to just one form.

Today, I’m proud to share a design I created for my client—and she loves it!

What I learned:

1️⃣ Limiting beliefs are exactly that—limiting. Be mindful of what they’re stopping you from experiencing.
2️⃣ Sometimes, we need to hear it from someone else before we believe it. Whether good or bad, words shape us. May we surround ourselves with people who uplift us.

Freelancing ain't for the faint of heart! 💥🔥

Nung first few months ko as a freelancer...

Feeling ko parang headless chicken ako 😅

Running around
Stressed
Walang direction

Every pitch felt like a rejection waiting to happen.

Tapos bank account? Kapit sa patalim! 💀

The real struggle!!!

Hindi lang siya about finding clients eh.

It was about finding MYSELF on this crazy entrepreneurial journey.

You know...

Overcoming self-doubt
Learning to price my skills
And believing I was worth more than "tipid" rates.

My biggest learning?

My worth isn't defined by desperate clients who want my world for spare change.

I am a PROFESSIONAL, not a discount service! 💪

But I did not do it alone.

I have a community and a support system kaya hindi pa ko gumigive up sa pangarap ko.

You can have your won, too!

Drop a ✨ if you're ready to have people supporting your dreams too!

The struggle is real...

As an email marketing and conversion strategist, I keep things private between me and my clients.

But lately, I've noticed a few similar themes pop up between food bloggers.

Here are the top 3 things I see food bloggers struggling with right now:

#𝟏 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐪𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭
Coming up with fresh ideas, finding the time to create, and maintaining a consistent posting schedule can be challenging.

According to a recent survey by Venngage, 𝟲𝟴% 𝗼𝗳 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 cite "𝑟𝑢𝑛𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑖𝑑𝑒𝑎𝑠" as their biggest challenge.

Without a steady stream of engaging content, your audience may lose interest and your online presence may suffer.

A study by TailWindApp found that Instagram accounts 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝟭-𝟯 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗱𝗮𝘆 see their follower growth rate plateau after peaking initially.

#𝟐 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠
It takes time and effort to attract and retain followers who genuinely connect with your content and brand.

In fact, a Sprout Social report revealed that 𝟴𝟲% 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 find it challenging to build an audience on social media.

Without an engaged following, 𝑖𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠 𝑖𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑦 𝑑𝑖𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑢𝑙𝑡 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑧𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑚 𝑜𝑟 𝑙𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑜𝑟𝑠ℎ𝑖𝑝𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑙𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠.

Research by influence. co suggests that influencers with higher engagement rates (2-3%) can charge brands up to 7 times more per post than those with lower rates (below 1.5%).

#𝟑 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩-𝐭𝐨-𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐦𝐬
Social media platforms and algorithms are constantly changing, making it challenging to adapt your strategy and maintain visibility.

A recent study by Hootsuite found that 𝟲𝟲% 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 struggle to keep up with the pace of change in social media marketing.

𝐹𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑏𝑒ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑛 𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑙𝑔𝑜𝑟𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑚 𝑢𝑝𝑑𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠 𝑐𝑎𝑛 𝑠𝑖𝑔𝑛𝑖𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑙𝑦 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑛𝑡'𝑠 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑐ℎ 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑎𝑔𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡.

According to a report by Curalate, a decrease in engagement rate from 4% to 2.7% can lead to a 50% drop in likes and comments for influencers.

I'm reading Hyperfocus by Chris Bailey and this quote resonated with me:

"One of the most underrated skills: letting other people finish their sentences before starting yours."

This is a great reminder to be more mindful and attentive when we communicate with others.
