Senator Risa Hontiveros: The Human Cost of Political Courage

In Episode 5 of Almost Honest, a deeply personal and politically charged conversation unfolds with Senator Risa Hontiveros, the leader of the opposition and one of the Philippines’ most outspoken voices for women’s rights, LGBTQ+ equality, and government accountability. This episode moves beyond headlines and soundbites to examine the human cost of courage. From standing alone as “1 against 23” in the Senate, to leading corruption investigations and pushing controversial but necessary legislation, Senator Risa opens up about fear, burnout, integrity, and the emotional toll of choosing principle over popularity. At its core, this is not just a political episode. It is a conversation about modern womanhood, moral clarity, and what it really means to use your voice when silence is safer.

Mariel Bitanga: Money, Mindset, and Financial Freedom

In Episode 8 of Almost Honest, Kylie sits down with Mariel Bitanga‑Kintanar for a candid, empowering conversation about money, mindset, and what real financial freedom actually looks like for Filipinos. Known publicly as a registered financial planner, founder of Simply Finance, and an advocate for Filipinas becoming financially independent, Mariel breaks down the fears, myths, and emotional weight surrounding money— from living paycheck to paycheck and navigating debt, to investing, building wealth, and setting boundaries as breadwinners and founders. This episode centers on financial literacy without shame, practical clarity over intimidation, and the belief that understanding your money is not about being rich, but about gaining confidence, choice, and control over your life.

Kim King: Building an Industry from Scratch

In Episode 4 of Almost Honest, Kylie sits down with Kim King, known as “The Broth Queen,” to unpack what it really takes to build an industry from scratch while raising five children and redefining wellness on your own terms. Best known for pioneering the bone broth movement in the Philippines, Kim shares how curiosity, science, and obsession, not traditional credentials, became the foundation of a thriving wellness brand. This episode goes beyond weight loss and trends, exploring identity, body image, mental health, and the invisible labor behind both entrepreneurship and motherhood. At its core, this is a conversation between two women who carved unconventional paths and didn’t wait for permission.
