In the debut episode of "The Bare It All Podcast," host Dani Barretto and her guest delve into the themes of self-love and confidence, sharing deeply personal experiences. Both agree that self-love involves accepting vulnerability and acknowledging that no one is perfect, while avoiding the trap of constant comparison with others. Dani reveals that after becoming a wife and mother, she lost sight of her own identity, focusing entirely on her family and neglecting her passions for fashion and beauty. This led to a period of low self-esteem and anxiety, until a realization prompted her to reclaim her sense of self. She began prioritizing her own needs, such as spending time with friends and pursuing hobbies, which restored her confidence and sanity. Her guest, a father, shares a similar struggle, noting that he initially felt guilty for taking time for himself but later understood the necessity of self-care for effective parenting. A key debate emerges about the path to self-love: Dani found that physical changes, like losing weight, boosted her mental state, while her guest insists that mental and emotional stability must come first for him. They emphasize that journeys to self-love are unique, and people should not be rushed or judged for their timelines, especially when dealing with trauma. Ultimately, they stress that true confidence comes from within, not from meeting societal standards or seeking approval from others.

Speaker 2
You know my availability.
I really have to open up my schedule.
Speaker 1
No proper intro.
Ohh okay.
Anyway, guys, welcome to the podcast.
Have you.
Wow.
Speaker 2
Thank you so much Miss Danny for having me on your podcast.
I really
Speaker 1
appreciate it.
Speaker 2
Of course I only have like 15 minutes so let's make the most out of it.
OK?
Speaker 1
OK.
Defining Self-Love and Early Parental Challenges
So anyway guys our topic for today is self love and confidence.
So I decided to bring to guess him here in the podcast because I want details of podcast not in my mail perspectives a topic that Samantha Kalakihan debate.
Speaker 2
Yes,
Speaker 1
that was a yeah.
Speaker 2
Yeah, so I guess it's more of a way to find the perfect footing to be vulnerable, but at the same time not be prone,
Speaker 1
feel uncomfortable.
Speaker 2
Exactly.
Speaker 1
I don't know Bahadur feel comfortable more to express.
Speaker 2
Or maybe they can learn their own way.
Speaker 1
Yeah, to share our wisdom, whatever wisdom we have.
So yes, okay.
So first, since our topic is self love and confidence with the self love to you.
Speaker 2
It's accepting your vulnerability and being.
Comfortable with your vulnerability.
So I think that's my definition of self love, yeah.
And for you, what's your definition of self
Speaker 1
love like?
It varies.
It changes over the years what self love is to me.
But I think right now, self love to me is just overall like accepting the fact that no one is perfect.
That somebody is always going to be prettier, smarter, more successful, thinner.
There's always someone that's more.
Speaker 2
There's always someone better
Speaker 1
than, there's always someone better than you, so you just have to be confident with which you.
Speaker 2
I think with accepting that
Speaker 1
what you are, yeah you are like I think nawawala ang self love is when you tend to compare yourself with others.
Don't a Laguna.
Speaker 2
Or being too harsh,
Speaker 1
being too hard on.
Speaker 2
Yourself.
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1
For actually like because it means that it was in the sub more so find home vino rasna efforts even thou gagalingan sayo Yeah I like the quote when they say now you cannot give amount.
You cannot give love to other people or love them well if you don't love yourself.
And I truly believe that cause I was like a test to me when I became a wife and I became a mom.
For me, self love was like down the drain for like a couple of years.
Yeah, Byron.
I think I just gave too much of myself to my new role in life, which is a wife and a mom.
And I kind of forgot who Danny was.
Yeah, for a moment in time and like, I felt like even Danny Nahoy, Danny Naho.
I'm a Danny.
I'm Danny as a mom and Danny as a wife.
The Danny before I felt like Buchanan in the Shah stuck the shadow the area.
Ohh gonna go any Danny before anyone you Hindi ko Apna dapat dala dala Yeah some mom and wife era.
Speaker 2
Think like I can say the same about I'm.
The worst way to put it is like.
Like for me, being a father, it's like, But Uncle Chan, you're bringing your family back and forth.
Nervous automatic steering.
Otomo, yeah.
And you can't take your family to where you're supposed to be safely.
Yeah, so that's what I realised then initially in apartment, like, no, I need to cater to every single need of my family.
And he didn't mention, like, I'm not saying that I'm complaining because that is what I'm supposed to provide.
But of course you also told me and a lot of friends told me then the parang, I also need to take the time for myself.
Yeah, even if you think you're being selfish, let's say, for example, Hindi muna puntahan young la bastilla for let's say they were going to go out to the mall.
Because I had my own personal plans that I put off.
You shouldn't be afraid to accept that.
Yeah, because if you don't, then yeah, that same metaphor or that same figure of speech, that.
I don't want that to happen.
Speaker 1
Will have to young time mobile accessory limo.
That for me, is so, so, so important.
Speaker 2
Yeah.
The Awakening: Separating Roles and Finding Self
And we both learned that.
Speaker 1
Yeah, we.
Speaker 2
Yeah, we both learned that.
Speaker 1
If I'm being honest we both learned that quite late like feeling cold last year long coming said that the naming yeah sarile cause parents were the longest time.
It was just we were in our bubble well.
Speaker 2
I mean, it was also a pandemic,
Speaker 1
no?
No, not that.
Even after like we were kind of like already combined, we were comfortable at one point.
You are, yeah, this is all brand and Amy excuses to stay home because they don't.
We feel that.
Speaker 2
We feel like basically the word is.
The summary of it is we feel like bad bearing.
Speaker 1
Yeah, if we.
Speaker 2
Leave if we have time that isn't dedicated to
Speaker 1
her.
Yeah.
And then, you know, I just came into our realization last year, which is funny.
It's like a month before Mellie's birthday that I was just so sick of the fact that how come everybody you social media that enough move forward you manga new moms that had to let go they're all doing so well on their own like they have.
There's May, Sarili, Parency Lang, Mahoba, Sabian, Byron.
There's still somebody outside of being a mother.
Yeah, you know, pardon.
They were still able to by nobody comma describe parent.
They were still able to become.
Speaker 2
They were.
They were good at separating,
Speaker 1
yeah, they were good at separating the roles that they doesn't have to be always like merged together because you're always going to be a mom and and say some interview.
I'll say some event now.
You're always going to be a mom.
That's never gonna change once.
Maggie Nanika, you're a nanny for life, so it doesn't your role.
Monahan.
Hindi magbabago, Yeah.
Doesn't make you less of a person if luma Baska one night with your friends or mags alone, yeah, well yeah, but these are the things that you do for yourself to keep your sanity and for you to become a better parent.
Speaker 2
Yeah, I agree.
So to round back to the main topic which is self love, can we agree that during the time when we did not know how to separate?
Are hats.
We weren't really practicing self love.
Speaker 1
No, we really weren't.
Not at all.
It's like but.
Speaker 2
Of course,
Speaker 1
physically, everything and everything.
Speaker 2
But because back then then we didn't know.
Cause of course as first time parents, I mean honestly speaking, I've met parents.
No.
It's like they said.
Read this book, attend this class, this.
Yeah,
Speaker 1
because parenting is, like, literally as you go.
Speaker 2
So that's why the people that figured it out sooner they must have learned or sat down.
Yeah, sooner than us.
Exactly.
And you and I are not afraid to admit.
Nah, we didn't love ourselves initially.
Speaker 1
But I came to you last year was my awakening.
Yung Parang said Lightning manga.
Personal issues cause I said illegal physical attribute papaya casino again confident that the parang ohh thank you sobrang indico active sabo Mundo no me mahalan Pala home bargains but uncomfortable now that was a good enough awakening last year the parent we packed in Costa Salamin big yak down the parent he did but as I made order.
Speaker 2
So I have a question like what made it?
What took you so long to realise the pattern and the like?
I'm using your words.
I like, like you felt that way.
What was the culmination of that feeling?
Speaker 1
There were some people who reminded me of who I was before I became a wife and a mom.
There were some people who would say no, many fashion icon going on that day and killing killing Manamit nanny and dammit, necessarily gonna first love glossing fashion talaga.
Yeah, so parang tomato effort at all.
Speaker 2
It's like your persona doesn't fit their idea of you,
Speaker 1
aren't you?
They need the Skype.
Speaker 2
It wasn't you now,
Speaker 1
Rani Dina ho mahajani wala na ako yung.
Speaker 2
The person?
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 1
So parents have a colleague Malay play school.
Hindi na Pala hota laga nola nola.
I'm Danny Nah.
There's my love for beauty.
My love for fashion.
My lover.
Speaker 2
So
Speaker 1
industry and everything else that I've worked hard for for the past 10 years, you know, Manawala, to be honest, like mature young content go over the years, it grew up with me, but I just lost that that spark, yeah, that that spark that I used to have that whenever I dress up, whenever I take care of myself, I feel a certain level of confidence.
And I've always felt unstoppable every time I felt that way.
And last year I really said like I I have to change this.
I have to go back to the Danny that I used to love so much.
Young Danny Navarang, describe Kano.
Classic Daniel.
Speaker 2
No cause.
Reclaiming Identity and Challenging Societal Expectations
I mean, I understand then like of course when you make that self realization aparang, I don't love myself in as much.
Of course you're in denial but first you're like no cause it'll go back to the parent thing.
I'm spending too much time like I'm taking care of my daughter, like my husband, my family.
But what?
What did it take for you to realise the parang Hindi kaananilla okay like I'm a good mom
Speaker 1
for the past?
Speaker 2
Three.
I've always said that
Speaker 1
he had no hobbies while at home, anything going on for myself.
Speaker 2
Do you think that was like a yeah, that was bad for
Speaker 1
you?
No.
It was a point that I realised my gig.
Shannon is on time.
Leon Sabong swerte, momi booyaka inhaler Helena we got.
Speaker 2
The ball
Speaker 1
give.
Speaker 2
I actually do too many things,
Speaker 1
like Buhari, Shahala, Bashan *** wanna parrino gigs?
Yeah, and then he can still come back home and do his normal routine everyday.
Everyday.
So I'm like name at one point and really sad now.
Wait, I need to have that?
Speaker 2
I always told
Speaker 1
you though I had to really explain to him the Hindi kita in Hawaii.
But I want that life.
I want to also have time alone for myself.
I want the hobbies.
I want to be able to actually have time for myself now.
Oh Oh my God.
And pudding Maggie nagawa Dinho Ryan like the possibility was endless.

Yeah.
Like that is not.
You cannot generalise that.
You cannot just say that I am that.
That's not me.
Yeah.
And for me, like over Pineco massaging magulang.
Speaker 2
Because you you get to do what makes you happy.
Speaker 1
Yeah, of course.
Speaker 2
Being a parent makes you happy, but like in other aspects of your life in Thailand is an aspect didn't like your social life.
You're happy with your personal life.
You're happy with your relationship with your daughter.

Karen like the love I had for myself was super good because of the things I was I was doing for myself.
I was able to do it and I felt like a level of success.
Like for example Pupuntahan studio.
I'll be gone from a five hours.
Let's say Kate valid the Monongahela.
I would feel guilty.
But at the same time, it's like McGill, Tiho Case, Maggie Nagawa, Ako.
But would you rather,
Speaker 1
I think the intentional unit, of course.
Speaker 2
It's just in my nature.
Speaker 1
And then towards the end, Bing girl.
Yeah or whatever.
When I'm going, you balance Lang Alamo.
Even just going to the salon, getting your nails done, having your hair done, doing shopping or eating alone, watching a movie, seeing friends, having dinner.
That itself is already a time for yourself.
Just that's having a life outside your home with.
Speaker 2
That being said, I think people need to also like realise not to take because of course some people they do those things but they want or demand more for their like self.
There to love themselves more, but at the same time you need to also appreciate those little things because those things bring you joy.
But yeah, some people just demand
Speaker 1
more.
It really keeps you sane, yeah, and keeps your sanity intact.
It makes you, it becomes.
You become whole in a sense, because there's nothing lacking in your.
Speaker 2
Life

You're a good mom, you're a Good Wife.
And then you also have that self love for yourself now.

Prioritizing Mental Health Before Physical Changes
Mentally, emotionally and for some physically, they and physically tapos nag progression to mentally cause I had to also come to terms with the fact now I wasn't happy with the way I looked.
So I had to change that.
I had to make some changes.
I had to do the necessary changes for me to feel good about myself again physically and then the mentally.
It followed the pattern since I already feel confident with the way I look and another major mentally nahila homen Talina, wala naho anxiety breakdown.
Blooming in comments, Being confident.
Speaker 2
It's more like you value yourself more to Nona I Yeah, you say that, but it's not true.

Parama annoying animal ma Martin going.
Speaker 2
Standard.
Are there further validation
Speaker 1

Yeah, and if I feel great, I feel beautiful.
Well, I'm going.
Speaker 2
But also like it
Speaker 1
matters is how I feel.
Speaker 2
Yeah, of course.
I just wanna point out then for some people like you, they start loving themselves more by physically changing something about themselves.
But for some, it doesn't work that way.
Like, honestly, it kind of pisses me off then sometimes apparent for me when parent people see the both of us, they're like, damn, you look so good, you know?
Then like, yeah, I'm getting my life together again.
They're like, ohh, you're still look the same.
You're still a little heavy, but in my head the mobile alarm for me personally I would rate the way I fix myself is mentally first before physically.
Speaker 1
Discussed her unchanged doesn't always have to start physically because some people.
The way they look, Hindi Lang sila masaya mentally and
Speaker 2
emotionally.
Speaker 1
Yeah, that's how it is for me.
Ganon din Yun for you guys sometimes must gusto,
Speaker 2
luckily.
Speaker 1
Mental health more And how you feel then, rather than the way you look.
Yeah.
Like it means you need ambassador.
Important.
Speaker 2
No.
Like, like you and me, we've been together for so long.
My way the physically look isn't as important as the way I feel and think.
Speaker 1
And there's nothing wrong
Speaker 2
with.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why when there's nothing wrong, people would tell me na parang.
I would tell them I had this conversation with this person.
Sabika ohh no.
I'll start getting fit when I know mentally I'm okay.
Speaker 1
It's a simple question to everybody but Maganda Masaya,
Speaker 2
exactly.

Embracing Individual Timelines and Processing Trauma
Big and more 100% population of Maganda at Guapo Masaya.
Speaker 2
Yeah, no.
But anyway, back to that point, like I remember there was even a point.
There's Annabel.
When I'm mentally stable or mentally happier, I will work out then and no work out and it comes after and I'm like, be back for you.
Speaker 1
It works, but for
Speaker 2
me the fact that ongoing disrespect it just because we're men doesn't mean Thailand abs or shoulders or biceps to prove the other people.
To be frank, I don't need to prove to anyone, I'm happy.
I just have to prove it to myself.
Speaker 1
Yes, like men.
Speaker 2
That's your ego name.
And The thing is, I'm not an egotistical person.
Like, I'm the type of person successful code, let's say Ferrari Go Basam Kyun, that's how I see it there.
So, so like for a guys, you just have to accept the way you are vulnerable isn't the same way other men are vulnerable to yeah, like Long still being Jim Sahin, No, I would.
Speaker 1
Rather buy.
And you know, every journey is different.
Exactly.
It's it indeed.

Ready.
Yeah.
Hindi already.
It it comes with in all aspects.
You know, not only for self love and confidence and there are a lot of also mean, but I mean in town that they come from a place of trauma
Speaker 2
exactly.
Speaker 1
They come from a really bad
Speaker 2
experience.
The thing is, if you keep on discrediting their feelings, you're going to push this person to share something, Hindi share ready sharing to just to shut you up.
Speaker 1
And that's not fair.
It doesn't work that way because for me, Lana, from someone that comes from a place of trauma they have.
And move on first
Speaker 2
before anything else accepted.
Speaker 1
They have to accept it first, funding situation, conning Nangyari and process it the way they have to process it or the the way they want to process it.
Agree before they even move forward to another thing in the Mozilla pointing at the press comic workout.
Indian Solutions Ivanka Yeah, Seguro say Banta.

He wasn't really mentally stable, so basically his friends would bully him for his hobby.
And you'll have Gundam.
You knew Habina?
Speaker 1
Bullshit for that
Speaker 2
I don't know.
So when I when I was, I was like, what, 20 at the time.
But at first I was like, yeah, I laughed.
Then I was like, wait down edition messier.
Speaker 1
If this what exactly
Speaker 2
so?
Speaker 1
And The thing is, I'm just like you.
Speaker 2
And I'm pretty.
I'm pretty sure some of those guys have their own hobby.
Yeah.
No.
Boy, didn't anyone.
Anyone can laugh at anyone's hobby.
Oh, oh, Magano, my plant.
It's.
You can't really shame someone for what brings them joy.
Speaker 1
If that's if that's what they do.
You're not make them happy to keep them sane.
Then why would you judge
Speaker 2
them?
Why would you go out of your way to make someone feel excluded?
Speaker 1
And it's not even funny.
It's not.
I don't even find that funny, to be honest.
That's it takes back but going
Speaker 2
Aaron, I remember he.
Speaker 1
Was saying.
Get up and
Speaker 2
Madam Chang like a 50,000 peso Gundam ohh no Mahali.

Speaker 1
Whatever.
You know what guys, OK.
Gumastos, Exactly.
Kaya nila.
Gumastos.
Ferrari.
Ferrari like.
People can get that up on me and
Speaker 2
I suddenly need to drive.
Speaker 1
Now one thing that again.
Was uncomment not Diana?
We're doing Cortina.
Diamond Ganyan lagging me.
Bad thing?
Speaker 2
No driver.
Speaker 1
You see that like?
Okay so.
Or like ohh.
What are you making judgement also?
You might.
Yeah, they work hard for that.
You think it's easy to buy those things?
Oh my God, I cannot even afford a Ferrari.
Not
Speaker 2
even the expensive things.
It's what brings them joy.
Speaker 1
If they buy it, yeah, they can afford it.
But
Speaker 2
exactly.
Speaker 1
In anyway,
Speaker 2
what's a happy celeb?
Speaker 1
But that's your insecurity talking, yeah.
And if you want the same things that they have.
Girl, go work Magtrabaho, Karen.
Inhabiting them again?

Anyway,
Speaker 2
and that's your form of self love.
Then let's make that makes you.
Speaker 1
Happy.
Yeah, that makes you happy again.
Kanya, Kanya and Kanya, Kanya and meaning non self love.
Yeah, conning self love.
Sachin.
Normalizing Male Vulnerability and Emotional Expression
Yeah.
Anyway, for me you have confidence when you have self love.
Those two work hand in hand.
Speaker 2
Do you think it's harder to love yourself if you're a guy or a girl?
Speaker 1
No, it's equally as hard.
Equally has heart.
It's equally as hard.
You know that men, you have to think about it.
In the Philippines, they expect men to be the breadwinner.
They expect men to be this masculine energy that can do it all.
But there are some men that aren't like that.
You must like it.
Speaker 2
Yeah, they're they're more.
Speaker 1
Capable of buying a must.
Capable must must dominant mean sand it happens and babe must like kicking breadwinner and babe must successful then the guy it happens, you know And sometimes men don't even get to express their emotions like I haven't even classing outlet along to express it because in these glamorous a personal lives cause it works
Speaker 2
but they're just too aimed.
Speaker 1
They're too ashamed because there's already a certain standard in this country that Gannon DAPAT, but I think Thailand normalisation is.
I am going.
Bye.
Ma women are naturally good
Speaker 2
caregivers.
Speaker 1
Caregivers like they're really Magaling Talaga is a baby.
Hmm.
Speaker 2
What?
What?
That Confusing.
But a friend told me this and I've been a girls are lucky.
So big.
Why any fellow girl and that girl will understand.
Yeah, as a guy friend.
Mulakat in Yamashita, Agad Hasil Khan, Bayan Mauka.
Speaker 1
And damage Sassabee.
The
Speaker 2
only person a guy can cry to is his joa or a partner.
Speaker 1
Wife.
Speaker 2
Yeah, that's why I Then again I realised I go ohh no.
Then that friend of mine said, can we normalise like I wanna.
I'm seeing you guys, some guys like guys in there.
Speaker 1
I'm going through something.
Speaker 2
Then when you meet at.

Speaker 2
right.
Exactly.
Britney Okay tapas.
You're gonna try to throwing humour at something does not fix a problem.
Speaker 1
Yeah, it really doesn't for me, but a second, personally.
Amal al Umiyak Yeah Kappa.
Or let's say the citizens for me.
Sign of strength.
Special weakness
Speaker 2
for me, the reason why I'm for sensitive sensitivity now?
Because sensitivity breeds empathy.
Yeah, look like macho, macho, whatever.
They're like like, yeah, I've heard that so many times.
I say I'm a guy.
I'm supposed to not care.
Yeah, better.
And so why can't you just treat everyone that's that way?
Why are you so afraid?
Speaker 1
Be a good human being?
Exactly.
Just be a good human being.
Like you know, nobody has it together all the time.
And I think that's what I realised last year when I really lacked self love.

So yeah, the way I see it then can say is like when it comes to self love, you're not supposed to be afraid to fall.
Like you know what they say when you fall off the horse, get back on you and you shouldn't be afraid to fall.
You should just accept the fact that there will be times you will fall off and you need to accept that, like realise why you fell and get back on.
And that's how I look at taking care of myself.
And I'm like, oh, I know there will be times I'm going to fail, fail more than I did before.

Podcast Summary
Key Points:
Dani Barretto introduces "The Bare It All Podcast" as a safe space for unfiltered conversations on life’s uncomfortable topics and truths.
The episode’s topic is self-love and confidence, featuring a guest who discusses personal definitions and experiences.
Self-love is defined as accepting vulnerability, imperfections, and not comparing oneself to others.
Both hosts struggled with self-love after becoming parents, losing their individual identities to roles like "mom" and "dad."
A key awakening came when Dani realized she had neglected her passions (e.g., fashion, beauty) and felt disconnected from her former self.
The importance of separating roles—being a parent doesn’t mean sacrificing personal time or hobbies—is emphasized.
Self-love journeys differ
People should respect individual timelines and not force others to heal or change on a set schedule, especially when trauma is involved.
The conversation stresses that true confidence comes from within, not from meeting societal standards or seeking external validation.
Summary:
In the debut episode of "The Bare It All Podcast," host Dani Barretto and her guest delve into the themes of self-love and confidence, sharing deeply personal experiences. Both agree that self-love involves accepting vulnerability and acknowledging that no one is perfect, while avoiding the trap of constant comparison with others. Dani reveals that after becoming a wife and mother, she lost sight of her own identity, focusing entirely on her family and neglecting her passions for fashion and beauty.
This led to a period of low self-esteem and anxiety, until a realization prompted her to reclaim her sense of self. She began prioritizing her own needs, such as spending time with friends and pursuing hobbies, which restored her confidence and sanity. Her guest, a father, shares a similar struggle, noting that he initially felt guilty for taking time for himself but later understood the necessity of self-care for effective parenting.
A key debate emerges about the path to self-love: Dani found that physical changes, like losing weight, boosted her mental state, while her guest insists that mental and emotional stability must come first for him. They emphasize that journeys to self-love are unique, and people should not be rushed or judged for their timelines, especially when dealing with trauma. Ultimately, they stress that true confidence comes from within, not from meeting societal standards or seeking approval from others.
FAQs

Dani focused on her physical health by losing weight, reconnected with her passions for fashion and beauty, and made time for friends and personal activities. She emphasized that these steps helped her take her 'power back' and feel confident again.

The guest believes that vulnerability isn't the same for all men and that it's okay to accept your own way of being vulnerable.
