We welcome Ysa with her podcast full of rationale— aired on 5th of June 2021. 

Who do you talk to when no one's around? 

Her life is filled with so much perspective from books she read and films she watch. When asked about who she rants particular whims to, "I have friends I love babbling ideas to, they provide such great insights and even learn from them too. However, most of the time I talk to myself for all I can think of,"  

She rambles a lot of them and actively speak her thoughts aloud when she washes their dish, take a bath, or even at her own desk. "I think it's important for me that I do self-talk, it makes me aware of my own perspective and it feels as if at that very moment, there is someone listening,"

The affinity for this practice has given her the idea of curating her own podcast, just as how she listens to few of which in Spotify.

Behind every milestone is a story, a reason to uphold when looking back at your success. Hence, the birth of her podcast— The Ysa Vibe! She entitled it for the way she sees life, and the application of life's beauty in her existence.

"I have my aesthetic, my lifestyle— and I'd always perceive it as my vibe, a distinct feeling or a state I love communicating to others, especially me. Therefore, 'The Ysa Vibe' shines from the way I live my existence behind my mind and soul,"

She released the first episode entitled, Locket #1: The Art of Self-Warmth, for she believed that self-love is an essential way of living. "There has been a time where I have deprived myself of so much love for myself," she uttered as she explained the pilot episode. In asking about her choice of topic for the first ep, she continued "it became such a chaotic journey, to be filled with hatred of oneself, to love other people more than what I should have given myself. I allowed disrespect in my own home, because I was scared that my guest would leave despite my pure service."

Moreover, she expounded how the first ep is a reminder of how she braved that storm in her life. How she managed to flourish because of her new decisions as she choose herself over the decade of leaving oneself for the comfort of others.

"The Art of Self-Warmth is not just an episode of a 32-minute babble, but a story told in various quotes and realizations from the statements. I prepared quotes I have loved from the very first time I have read it, and lines I've heard from every film I learned to love."

It was supported well in its publication by her friends, therefore a success based on these people's view and feedback from listening towards her. "I am in my utmost grateful state for the people who genuinely have given me a pat in the back, and continuous support throughout all my endeavors. The Art of Self-Warmth was all I am today, a reborn Ligaya."
