Tata & Company: Recent Episodes
Tata
A weekly, casual podcast with Tata. We'll talk about everyday life, stories, issues and ideas. New episodes every Saturday.
In this week’s episode, Tata talks about mental health, an all-important and relevant issue among everyone experiencing the challenges of keeping a healthy mind in the backdrop of the ongoing pandemic. Mental health has been a buzzword online, but perhaps some may still consider it a huge concept, especially those who have yet to fully grasp what it means, what it encompasses, and why it’s important to talk about it. Why is it important to seek help? Who do we ask for help? As a clinician herself, Tata sheds light on the subject and tries to answer some of these questions we’re probably too shy to ask.
In this brand new episode of Tata & Company, Tata delves deeper into a subject that has been bothering her lately: her fears. What is fear? What constitutes fear? Tata discusses her insight on the matter and shares some of the fears that resonate with her at this point in her life: her fear of dependency, of losing control, of losing her ability to do the things she loves to do freely.
In this week's new episode, Tata talks about one of her proclivities: hoarding. This time she's joined by one of her dearest friends and, in fact, one of the first few whom she met in Dumaguete, Anabelle. Both avid collectors, they talk about collections from childhood up to the present, their personal thoughts on and definitions of hoarding, and the idea of letting go.
In this all-new episode of Tata & Company, Tata welcomes us back to this new season with a fresh rant of her most recent obsession: obsessing over her various obsessions. That's right. Obsessive compulsive disorder. And obsessive compulsive personality disorder. How different are these two? How do they affect someone's life? Tata shares her take on the matter along with all of her few obsessions.
As this year's International Women's Month comes to a close, Tata finishes off this season's podcast with a reading of her letter to her twenty-five-year-old self. This episode is dedicated to all the women empowered, especially to Tata's dear sisters and most especially their Mom.
What does healthy living mean? In this week's episode, Tata talks about advocating for healthy food, the joys of eating vegetarian/vegan, and what it's like to run a food business in this time of pandemic. All this and more with 'one of her favorite people' in Dumaguete and owner of Chia Eatery herself, Mariel.

Human as we are, we definitely have our own cringe-worthy stories that we keep to ourselves, especially those painful ones that take the cake. Those that send shivers down our spine for their sheer appalling effect: embarrassment, shame, even guilt. Yikes. In this tell-all episode, Tata breaks down her cringe-worthy moments, some of which date back years and some which are more recent, that continue to haunt her up to this day, nudging us to reflect on our own cringe moments and learn to laugh at or forgive ourselves after all.
Catching up with her dear friend, Tata sits down with artist, activist, entrepreneur and community development advocate Sharon to talk about the importance of connections and staying connected with friends, family, the community and, most importantly, one's self during this pandemic. In this special online episode, the 'BFFs' as what they fondly call each other spend a fun afternoon reconnecting via video chat.

Talk about natural disasters, like earthquakes. Or emergency evacuations. Tata's practical advice? Anticipate the unexpected. In this episode, she puts both her 20 years of social work under different agencies in New York and, more notably, her personal 9/11 experience into very practical use. The result: three meticulously packed pieces of luggage parked at the foot of her bed every night --- all ready to go any time!
