00:00How did you become a wellness junkie?
00:05Well, for me, I'm wellness because I'm a wellness junkie.
00:09I like to drink supplements. I value my supplements.
00:13I have so many friends who suffer from hormonal imbalance.
00:17So I was like, why doesn't anyone do something for people's management and hormonal imbalance?
00:25So it really started with hormonal imbalance.
00:27And then, I'm also very poor.
00:30So it's hard for me to sleep.
00:32So I said, I wanted to come up with something that has everything that I take,
00:37but it's easier because they can just drink it.
00:39It's not like one supplement after another.
00:42So it started from there.
00:44I started getting more and more wellness products.
00:48But it really started out with those two products that I said,
00:51I don't need this anymore.
00:53And through it all, there are so many people who have been able to help
00:58our hormonal imbalance, our banana melon, and our other flavors.
01:02And like me, it actually grew so fast since our talk with Julia.
01:06Yes, August.
01:08Yes.
01:09And did you imagine that this would mature?
01:13Not really.
01:14Not really.
01:15I mean, of course, I believe in my brand and I believe in my product,
01:19but I didn't want to be overconfident that it's going to reach this level.
01:25But you know, we still have a lot to improve.
01:28We still have a lot to work on.
01:29I still have a lot to prove.
01:31As a young person, I still have a lot to prove.
01:34So we're just starting with wellness.
01:36As for Julia, what's your reaction seeing your sister grow as a businesswoman?
01:42Well, it's been really joyous and really, I mean, her success,
01:49I feel like it's everybody's success in the family.
01:52That's just our dynamic.
01:54We root for each other.
01:56We support each other.
01:57We motivate and encourage each other.
02:00So just to see her in the position that she is in career and life and in love,
02:06I mean, it's something that we all celebrate as a family, as a unit.
02:10What were your favorite flavors?
02:12So, you know, I've always loved the stress relief matcha flavor.
02:18Matcha milk.
02:19But with the two flavors released last year of the Hormonal Imbalance,
02:25the Honey Iced Tea is really my favorite.
02:27But I am looking forward to her coffee.
02:30Yes.
02:31Because I tried it in her mood.
02:32Yeah.
02:33What difference did you feel after taking it?
02:36Well, the target of coffee is different now.
02:39It's for your weight management, energy booster.
02:42Yes.
02:43So it's a very different, what is it?
02:46The ingredients.
02:48The ingredients.
02:49The purpose of coffee is different now.
02:51I know this is something that's also available to men, right?
02:54So now, it's something that I can have more innings
02:57of having coffee with Jen.
03:00Or say it's the mixed berries.
03:02I mean, it's really with the new products.
03:05It's something that you can experience with absolutely everyone now.
03:09Julia, many business lessons learned from that?
03:12Sobrang dami.
03:13Ang dami talaga.
03:15And, you know, with the Juju Club,
03:17and then seeing how she was able to do this for her brand,
03:20it really is motivating, you know,
03:22given that there will be challenges
03:24and that not every day is going to be flowery and perfect.
03:27But the example that she's setting for us,
03:31it's parang you just can't give up right now.
03:34Parang it's doable, it's possible,
03:37and she's been such an inspiration to all of us.
03:41Will there be a Juju and Wellness Whispers collab?
03:44Oh, I've always told her that.
03:46I wanted to create something that she talaga,
03:48yung gusto niyang gawin.
03:50Pero pa siyang variant na gustong gawin.
03:52That's something that, you know,
03:54She's been telling me about.
03:55I've been telling her.
03:56So that's something na sana we can work on this year.
03:59Yeah, we'll see.
04:00Danny, what's it like working with your husband?
04:03How do you divide the work?
04:04He's the best.
04:05Kasi yung ano ko, he balances me out.
04:08So he balances my craziness.
04:09So when I'm panicking, when I'm having anxiety,
04:12and I'm super stressed,
04:13siya yung tagasalba, gano'n.
04:16Tapos he's my backend guy.
04:18So he knows everything.
04:19May strengths kami.
04:21Yung strengths ko, weakness niya.
04:23Yung weakness ko, strength niya.
04:25So it works.
04:26Kailangan ko siya sa weakness side,
04:29kasi yun yung operations ko,
04:31yung finances,
04:33siya yung pag-abenta lang talaga ako dito.
04:36The next product line is called Empowerment.
04:40There's a lot of women that,
04:42you know, they talk the same problem.
04:45So what's your message to them?
04:47What's your message to them?
04:49What's your message to you guys?
04:51Because when he's dealing with problems,
04:53he's dealing with problems.
04:54Oh, well, alam mo ba,
04:56for me kasi ang confidence,
04:57it starts with you talaga.
04:58Nobody can tell you,
05:00nobody can tell you na,
05:01you have to be confident,
05:02you have to be ganyan.
05:03It really starts with you.
05:05So whatever you feel is like,
05:07what's causing that problem?
05:10Ano ba yung napakos ng insecurity mo?
05:12Bakit yung napakuliin?
05:13Start from there.
05:15And then also,
05:17dapat gusto mo din,
05:18you also wanna change it.
05:20Iba naman kasi yung sasabihin mo lang,
05:21tapos hindi mo gagawan.
05:23Practice what you preach,
05:24ikawa diba?
05:25So with this one,
05:27not really educating,
05:29but what we want people to know that
05:31if you're not confident
05:33with whatever that's going on with you,
05:35we can help.
05:36Parang, nandito lang kami to help.
05:38We're not really claiming na kaya namin ayusin,
05:41may kinu-cure kami or whatever.
05:43Ang whole point ng Wellness Whispers
05:45is we're here to help you or guide you
05:47to a better path
05:49or to a more confident version of yourself.
05:51Parang ganun lang.
05:53Yung intensive din yung R&D process namin.
05:56Bago pa makarating sa'kin yung mga sample,
05:58matangal yan, inaaral.
06:00Kasi, isipan nyo guys,
06:02ang supplements na tinatake ng tao
06:03may hormonal imbalance,
06:04mga six supplements yan.
06:06So, nilagay namin yung sa isang drink.
06:09So, kinailangan yung R&D
06:11kung paano isispace out yung dosages nya
06:13para mapaste sa isang drink.
06:15So it really took a while,
06:17but then, I'm glad that we were able to come up with something
06:19na it works for everyone.
06:22Talaga.
06:23It took a while.
06:24Yes.
06:25Yes.
06:26Thank you for including supplements for men.
06:28What good idea was it?
06:30Oh, for the men?
06:32Well, first and foremost,
06:34nagpa-protest na lang yung mga lalaki
06:36sa mga life kami na,
06:37bakit eh, di namin pwede inumin
06:39yung hormonal imbalance?
06:40Eh, it's correct pa kasi.
06:41Yes.
06:42So, sabi nila, parang,
06:43dapat kami din meron.
06:45So, syempre, hindi natin iwanan
06:46ang kanalaki yan.
06:48So, ginawan din namin sila ng product.
06:50So, we asked,
06:51kung ano ba yung gusto nila?
06:53Kung ano bang klaseng pang men?
06:54Hindi naman din pwede
06:55na maglalabas ka lang ng for men.
06:57So, yun ang gusto nila
06:58for stamina,
07:00libido, yung mga ganyan,
07:02for working out,
07:03energy.
07:04So, yun yung nilabas namin for them.
07:05But this is not only for men.
07:07Pwede siya for men and women.
07:09So, pati yung mga couples
07:10that are trying,
07:12pwede yan sa kami.
07:13So, will there be a male endorser?
07:16Yes.
07:17OMG, ang pangaliyan ko
07:18sila yung male endorser namin.
07:20Geron?
07:21Secret.
07:22Best friend.
07:23Danny Julia,
07:24just catching earlier,
07:25Tocina,
07:26you celebrate each other's successes.
07:28What do you think is the secret behind that?
07:30Yung no sibling rivalry?
07:32Para lumaki na kami,
07:33na wala kami gandahin.
07:35I think yung pagpalaki sa amin
07:36ng mom ko,
07:37is just to have each other's back.
07:39I mean,
07:40some people might,
07:42they think, actually,
07:43hindi totoo yung relationship namin
07:44sa sobrang too good to be true.
07:46Pero, totoo.
07:47We're best friends.
07:48My siblings are my best friends.
07:49They know everything in my life.
07:51Even before everything is done.
07:53So, parang ako,
07:54I cannot imagine life without these.
07:56I can't imagine life without them.
07:58Diba?
07:59So, parang,
08:00I think that's why this works.
08:01It's because we support each other.
08:02Whatever career field we choose to take.
08:06Yeah.
08:07Parang si mommy din really wasn't the type
08:09when we were growing up
08:11that she would compare us to each other.
08:13There was never pitting
08:15or her kids to each other.
08:17There was just no energy like that.
08:20So, when you're a kid
08:21and nobody plans that in your head,
08:23it just sticks with you.
08:25Yeah.
08:26And you grow up with that kind of thinking.
08:28She was really, really specific about,
08:32you know,
08:33growing up, like,
08:34having each other's back.
08:35Back.
08:37Lani, you emphasized kanina,
08:38Q1.
08:39Q1 plans palang ko.
08:40So, are we going to expect more?
08:42Oh, yes.
08:43We have already plans for the whole year.
08:45Beron na kami until the end of 2025.
08:48Beron na talaga.
08:49Ito lang yung first products
08:50na ilalapas namin for Q1.
08:52Q2 will be also extra exciting.
08:54We're just waiting for FDA certification
08:56to come back.
08:57And we're gonna announce that very soon.
08:59Iba naman to.
09:00We're venturing into something else.
09:01Outside drinks.
09:02So, I'm very excited.
09:04Panibago namang launch yun.
09:06Are you still focusing on
09:08online selling pa rin?
09:10Yes.
09:11I really am a,
09:12for me, I'm a firm believer
09:13sa live selling, online selling.
09:16Iba yung,
09:19pili ko iba kasi yung owner,
09:21yung CEO to consumer relationship
09:23pag nagla live selling kayo.
09:25You get to communicate with them,
09:26talk to them.
09:27Like what I say,
09:28yung R&D namin,
09:29nagagalang yan sa mga consumer namin
09:31kung anong gusto nilang lumabas.
09:32Just because lagi ko silang nakakausap online.
09:35So, sa lahat talaga
09:36ng pagsisimula ng business,
09:38you venture into online selling.
09:40Iba na rin talagang platform to.
09:42This is a way to grow
09:43your business faster,
09:45educate the people more
09:46about your product,
09:47for them to learn more
09:48about your product.
09:49Lalo na ngayon,
09:50everybody is nasa cellphone.
09:52Diba?
09:53So, maximize social media
09:55if you're a business owner.
09:57I thought,
09:58could be early to say,
09:59pero i-reread mo ba si Julia?
10:00Oo naman!
10:01Hindi kayo?
10:03Oo naman!
10:04Parang pili ko permanent na siya.
10:06Siya na yun.
10:07Parang mahirap nang mag-iba.
10:10Kasi,
10:11nagsimula ako na sila
10:12yung nandiyan,
10:13nakasupport.
10:14Hindi na din ako makaisip din
10:15ng iba.
10:16Maybe,
10:17I think,
10:18in a sense,
10:19because I also really am
10:20excited for Dani
10:21to be growing
10:22her line of products.
10:23Yes.
10:24And then also,
10:25it really is,
10:26like I really am
10:27genuinely proud
10:28when I hear the news
10:30that she'll have faces
10:32for these products.
10:33Yes.
10:34Because it really is just,
10:35you know,
10:36it's a reflection of
10:37just how much
10:38the company is growing.
10:39But,
10:40I think in a sense
10:41of the partnership
10:42in Sabrania,
10:43I think that's why
10:44she's also been
10:45really encouraging me
10:47to create
10:48a specific
10:49customized drink
10:50that,
10:51you know,
10:52with ingredients
10:53that I believe in.
10:54Yes.
10:55Parang,
10:56I think to her,
10:57it's like really,
10:58it's really a lifetime
10:59kind of partnership
11:00without,
11:01you know,
11:02just,
11:03don't be pressured though.
11:04You don't have to.
11:05Parang na,
11:06ina na siya,
11:07staple na.
11:08I'm just adding
11:09to the roster
11:10of the people
11:11that's going to be
11:12representing the brand.
