00:00How are you, KarsP?
00:07In this episode of Wow!
00:09We will talk about the benefits of wellness and well-being.
00:14In particular, we will talk about our mental health.
00:17We will be joined by the multi-awarded life coach of the city, Coach Mike Celis.
00:22Good morning, Coach Mike!
00:24Good morning, Dianne!
00:26Every Friday is all about life and wellness.
00:29Adding knowledge for yourself is more important.
00:33As part of National Women's Month,
00:35in our first episode of Wow!
00:37Coach Mike will clarify some of the popular myths or opinions
00:41that have to do with the perception of women.
00:44And Coach Mike will explain that
00:46by answering if this is Wow!
00:49or Ow!
00:51This might be different, Coach Mike.
00:53No, it needs to be controversial.
00:56Or bad, right?
00:58So, basically, if it's Wow!
01:01it means we agree with the myths or opinions.
01:06And if it's Ow!
01:07it means we disagree.
01:09And we will explain afterwards.
01:11So, we will give the reasons why it's Ow! or Wow!
01:15And as a woman, I will also answer that.
01:17And to our hosts here at RSP,
01:21Are you ready?
01:22Ow! or Wow!
01:24Let's hear their opinions.
01:27So, again, Wow! if we agree
01:30and Ow! if we disagree.
01:32So, let's start, Coach Mike.
01:34Myth number one about women.
01:37Only women cry.
01:40So, RSP, is it a Wow! or Ow!
01:44Only women cry.
01:46They're the same.
01:48Our answers are the same.
01:50Fifi is an Ow!
01:51Meiji is an Ow!
01:52Audrey is also an Ow!
01:54So, we're all just Ow!
01:56Coach Mike, we're also Ow!
01:57Why?
01:58Yes.
01:59Because, in reality, crying doesn't mean you're weak.
02:04It actually means it's a sign of strength
02:07because you are releasing what you're really feeling.
02:10So, regardless of gender,
02:12it's okay to express yourself and your emotions.
02:14And it's okay to cry,
02:16to let go of whatever holds you back.
02:18Do you agree that crying is also a sign of emotional intelligence?
02:22True.
02:23Because you're acknowledging what you're really feeling
02:26and with authenticity, you're able to set yourself free.
02:29So, if you really want to release, why not?
02:31Crying is okay.
02:33It's not a sign of weakness.
02:34When we were kids,
02:36men and women, regardless of gender,
02:38we cried.
02:39It's just associated with women.
02:41Alright.
02:42Myth number two.
02:43A woman is not just the light of the house.
02:47RST, wow or ow?
02:49Yes.
02:50She's not just the light of the house.
02:52I'm also a wow.
02:54Oh, okay.
02:55So, both are ow.
02:56No, I'm sorry. I'm a wow.
02:58Okay.
02:59I'm a wow.
03:00I'm a wow.
03:01Why did you say ow?
03:04That she's not just the light of the house?
03:06Because when a man looks at a woman,
03:08what is the light of the house?
03:11What we're looking at are just women.
03:13It's a traditional perspective, baby.
03:16But now, there are a lot of single mothers.
03:20But there are more wows.
03:22And Coach Mike, you also say wow.
03:24Why?
03:25What do you think about that opinion of Audrey?
03:27Regardless of gender,
03:29anyone can be anyone he wants to be.
03:33So, basically, you're a woman.
03:35You're not just limited to being a housewife or a mother.
03:38Your roles do not define you.
03:40But instead, whatever your dreams and aspirations may be,
03:43know that you are deserving to become just that.
03:46Okay. So, you actually have a choice.
03:48Yes.
03:49If you want to be a career woman, why not?
03:51But if you also want to be a full-time mom, that's okay.
03:54You can balance it for as long as you take responsibility for it.
03:58And there's also this notion,
04:00that women are focused on their family.
04:05They say it's also a noble profession.
04:08It's also difficult.
04:09Don't be late.
04:11You shouldn't just be a housewife or a mother.
04:15You shouldn't be like that.
04:16You should be proud because those choices are actually nurturing
04:19not only your future, but the ones around you.
04:22But then again, this bottom line,
04:24we all can extend beyond our role.
04:27Yes.
04:28It's multifaceted.
04:30Audrey, take note.
04:31Okay, myth number three.
04:33Being a beautiful woman depends on marriage and having a child.
04:39RSP, is it a wow or aw?
04:42Being a beautiful woman, marrying and having children.
04:46It's a meow.
04:48Okay, I think all of us are in unison.
04:51We don't agree with that.
04:53That's where being a beautiful woman depends, Coach Mike.
04:56Strongly disagree, right?
04:58Yes.
04:59Strongly disagree because again, that's a choice.
05:02You shouldn't put down a woman because at a certain age,
05:06she doesn't have a child or a husband.
05:08The happiness or worth of a person doesn't depend on that.
05:12But rather, on her choices,
05:14if she's happy, if she's complete, and if she's fulfilled.
05:16Yes, because sometimes we hear this in social settings.
05:19When are you getting married?
05:21When are you having a child?
05:23And sometimes it puts pressure.
05:25Is there a deadline?
05:26Yes.
05:27Is there a deadline?
05:28It's so sad.
05:29No, no.
05:30Because everyone has their own timeline.
05:32For women, we should not compare, right?
05:35As long as you're happy,
05:36regardless of what other people may say about your status,
05:39it's okay.
05:40Correct.
05:41For me, it's mom.
05:42Hey!
05:43Is that okay, friends?
05:45Let's go!
05:46It's okay.
05:47Again, we always have a choice.
05:49Correct.
05:50If you don't feel like getting married,
05:52don't put yourself under social pressure.
05:54That is okay.
05:55That is your choice.
05:56Alright, myth number four.
05:58Can a woman stand on her own?
06:01Or is it a wow or an aw?
06:05Okay, so Fifi is a wow,
06:07and then Meiji is an aw.
06:10She's in the middle.
06:11Audrey is an aw also.
06:12Why, Meiji?
06:13Why do you think?
06:14Well, I've been...
06:16I'm still a strong, independent woman.
06:19I can stand on my own.
06:20I'm self-sufficient, I would say.
06:22But you know what?
06:23At the end of the day,
06:24I need someone.
06:26I need a man in my life.
06:28Alright.
06:29And in God's perfect timing.
06:30So, I'll call him.
06:33Fifi, what can you say about that?
06:35See, I would say...
06:38Audrey, you're also an aw.
06:40Okay, because...
06:42I believe in the nuclear family.
06:44A man needs a woman,
06:46and a woman needs a man.
06:48Fifi, I want to ask.
06:49Have you changed, Fifi?
06:51What's your answer? Wow?
06:52Yes.
06:53What's the question?
06:54A man can have a woman.
06:56Yes, a man can have a woman.
06:58Yes.
06:59I love the belief.
07:01Coach Mike.
07:02So, regardless of gender,
07:04we have our own choices
07:06and how we take responsibility
07:08for our actions.
07:09We are entitled to that.
07:11Your gender does not define
07:12on what you can be
07:14and what you cannot be.
07:15It's actually how you see yourself.
07:17So, it's very important
07:19that you love yourself fully
07:21and embrace yourself whole.
07:22So, regardless of what happens
07:24around you,
07:25you have your own decisions to make.
07:27Maybe, I just want to dig deeper
07:30to what Meiji said earlier.
07:32She also needs someone.
07:34Maybe, social support is also possible.
07:37That's good.
07:38No man is an island.
07:39Let's clarify that part.
07:41It's okay to have someone,
07:43but don't be entirely dependent
07:45on the relationship.
07:46You are your own person.
07:48You should always remember that.
07:50So, depending on someone
07:52is not really good?
07:53Yes.
07:54Even when it comes to making decisions.
07:56Alright.
07:57Well, thank you very much, Coach Mike,
07:59for debunking some popular opinions
08:02and also for agreeing
08:03on the right perceptions about women.
08:05And also, thank you to our RSV Barcada
08:07for joining us here in Usapang Wow.
08:09Let's always remember
08:11to make our lives a wow.
08:13If there's a wow,
08:14let's not ignore it
08:15because our wellness and well-being,
08:17especially our mental health, matter.
