Trying Hard with Lyqa Maravilla
New Year calls for new beginnings, and what better way to start it than getting a daily reminder that you have the power to do anything?
You can get that from Lyqa Maravilla’s Trying Hard podcast channel where the registered psychometrician encourages listeners to “dream big and work hard to achieve those dreams.”
In the episodes titled “I’m a Great Procastinator, and It Doesn’t Feel Great,” Lyqa shared tips on beating procrastination with her guest Madame Z.
Here, they suggested avoiding cramming by “revisiting the [tasks] you need to let go of,” reframing your goal, “setting a deadline that’s earlier than the actual 2024,” and creating a list of your priorities and other tasks.
Aside from this, the motivational speaker is offering friendly advice on “Problematic Panganay Pangs,” “When You Should Stop Trying and Start Letting Go,” “How to Set Boundaries,” among many other challenges you might need help with in 2024.

If you’ve been wanting to climb the corporate ladder but keep getting pulled down by office politics and whatnots, Stanley Chi’s Underpaid podcast could help you finally have a crack at it in 2024.
In this lighthearted and funny podcast, the popular financial guru talks about “anything and everything about the office, such as how to deal with your horrible boss, officemates, office politics” that could help you ace the corporate world.
Underpaid’s relatable and entertaining episodes include “Huwag Magpa-scam sa Online Jobs,” “Paano Mo Imo-motivate ang Isang Taong Wala Nang Gana Magtrabaho,” “How to Ask For a Raise,” and a “Happy Hour” series, which talks about topics like office bullying and office romance.
There’s also this episode where Stanley gave advice about a common office problem: should we kill backstabbing officemate with kindness or “magplastikan na lang kami?”
Stanley recommended, “When you love your job but hate your colleagues, you have to learn the art of deadma… Killing them with kindness is only one part, being civil with them is a close second. The other part is to be more patient with your co-workers because ang pikon ay talo o magre-resign.”

Hugot Radio Podcast
2023 may be filled with the biggest celebrity breakups, but that doesn’t mean you have zero chances of finding your own “forever.” If you, too, are a broken-hearted Pinoy who wants to find joy in falling in love again, check out the Hugot Radio hosted by DJ Ron.
This podcast discusses love and life with the aim of helping broken-hearted folks “believe in love and keep the fire burning.”
Ron serves as a kuya who shares bite-sized advice on how to be wiser in love based on his own experiences as a self-confessed serial dater.
In the episode “Paano Makabingwit ng Lalaking High Quality,” Ron compared the act of attracting men to fishing, wherein different kinds of baits are used to catch certain types of fish.
“Dapat high quality din ang iyong pain (bait). Meaning, ‘yung papakita mo, ‘yung gawi mo, ‘yung character mo, dapat high quality din para ma-attract mo ‘yung naghahahanp ng ganoon,” Ron said. “Kasi kung sakali mang kabaliktaran ang gagawin mo, magpapakita ka ng kaluluwa, ‘yung ma-aattract mo ‘yung mga ghost hunters. Kapag nakuha na ang gusto niya sayo, goodbye na talaga.”
Other Hugot Radio episodes you should check out include “Klase Ng Lalaki Na Dapat Mong Iwasan,” “Common Reasons Ng Hiwalayan,” “Paano Mag Move On Kung Laging Nakikita,” and “Paano Malalaman Kung Nagloloko Ang Partner Mo.”
The Jay Aruga Show
Some people have been embracing the ideals of “woke culture” on social justice and gender inclusivity, while some still prefer to go with tradition and stand firm on their faith.
If you think you belong in the latter and want to continue fighting for your beliefs in 2024, then The Jay Aruga Show is the podcast for you.
Touted as the first conservative podcast in the Philippines, the show caters to Pinoys who want to stay true to their Christian/Catholic beliefs on life, marriage, and family amid today’s “woke ideology.”
Take, for one, Jay’s episode about the “Sin of Gossiping” where he discussed whether or not spreading gossip is a sin, even if what you’ve been telling others is true.
Quoting paragraphs from the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Jay said that information like this should not be broadcast to people whether they’re real or not. He said that in doing so, one could commit the “sin of detraction” or the “sin of calumny.”
Need more enlightenment this 2024? Listen to the rest of the channel’s episodes wherein Jay shares insights on current events affecting the Catholic faith and guest speakers tell inspirational stories related to religion.
