The Daily Unscripted Life of Risse: Recent Episodes
Charisse Santos
I am an Asian American (Filipino) full-time working mama of 3 kiddos navigating through life while my own mom and MIL constantly give their two cents and.make.me.question.all.of.the.things!
I am coming to you with my unscripted life and sharing everything and anything going on in my life. I am comparing and contrasting being raised by my first generation immigrant Filipino parents and now raising my own children. I’m trying to navigate the fact that I want my children to know their roots and where their parents and grandparents came from, but also weave in Western and Modern values.
Sharing a bit of a convo and encouraging moment I had with a fellow mom friend. Giving a little bit of an update as I haven’t been on in awhile. Hope you enjoy and please share so others can be encouraged by my experience.

I experienced for what seems like the umpteenth time another rejection after an interview I felt really good about. I felt angry, I rage cleaned after, I was upset, but I had to remind myself that it's not up to me. The outcomes are not up to me and that only God knows what my life with turn into. I have to embrace this season of waiting and so can you. Thank you for listening!
