Ep 3: The odd jobs before the dream job. ✨ | 2 Steps Back with Nicole & Cat "The Podcast"

[@haroldhermozura1203]

I love how they listen to each other. Walang sapawan. May time ang bawat isa to talk. Love these two women talaga. It’s my weekly habit na to listen to them. ❤❤❤❤

[@PerpetualInfidel]

Agree. Ito ang ayaw ko kay Alex Gonzaga. Hindi pa tapos yong sagot sa tanong nya tini-take over or inu-over lap nya na yong time na dapat para sa kausap nya or ini-interview nya. Masyado syang hyper or full of energy inappropriately. parang arrogant na or rude na yong dinidisplay nyang image sa vlog nya and with that i lose interest on her. minsang umaabot sya sa point na parang walang syang delekadesa when it comes to proper conversation to people.

[@zeinmendez2004]

I badly needed this! As a fresh graduate, I am currently in that phase where I'm still trying to navigate where I am going. I feel like something is trying to call me but I just don't know what it is. The confusion of entering the real world having that pressure to seek for that specific perfect job took a toll on me plus being away from family is scary, it's still so new to me, so foreign. This episode is so insightful! I love this! Thank you for this Cat and Nicole!❤

[@yancaralos3345]

Why did I just find out about this podcast?! I've been binging your episodes since last week, listening to it while working and working out. What I love about this is it's like Im just chatting with my friends. Listening to life advice . ❤

[@jdjacinto3785]

I'm 23 and pursued bachelor's education in South Korea and now am pursuing a professional job. I really can relate when Cat said "Whatever you study, you're meant to get a job in and it all goes linear, but it doesn't work that way." 6 years as an expat and the stakes are very competitive, especially in an economically fast-growing country in an unbelievably fast scale. But I think that is what makes me stand out as a foreigner in a heterogenous environment. I learned to embrace my difference and use that difference to blend in an unknown society. One thing that I have learned is you'll eventually find your path as long as your heart desires you to. A very cliche saying but I think it really bears fruit. Now I'm earning my own money through a job which is actually related to my major but not really what I dreamed for myself. Its so relatable when they said that you really have to invest something for yourself, pursue and take that risk. It's better to try than regretting not being able to put an effort. Thank you for this! I really appreciate listening to your inspiring stories! More to come please :)

[@lakenodu9655]

such a life-trained ladies! After watching this video, I realized na kahit may degree ka o wala, basta madiskarte at resilient ka, nothing is impossible. koooodoooss to you cat and nicole!!!

[@Marty-e2w]

I love their authenticity and relatability. Like nakasmile ako in an hour

[@chahyun-su663]

I love these 2 girls, they're so eloquent when it comes to this!

[@perfectorinciongjr8624]

I’ve been a silent fan of both of you as I watched your popularity grow since 2016…this is great for newcomers and for fans like us to just get to know you more…as a business owner myself …this part 3 is so true on odd jobs struggles and victories …thank you for engaging with each other and sharing your journey

[@LEARNWITHRAIOFFICIAL]

This is a fantastic podcast! I hope they include episodes on interesting topics beyond just their personal stories. These brilliant women have the wisdom that the world truly needs.

[@DONTcareAnymore000]

Agreed

[@joseparinas69]

Sana magkaroon dn Sila NG interesting guests nkikita no na magaling Sila maginterview at magbigay NG point of views nila. Also praying na si cat magkaroon NG sarili nyang show since Nicole is financially secured na

[@jm9449]

Omg cat, your note on doing something, even small to enrich yourself for the future really hit! I'm glad i landed onto this podcast today.

[@gwynethannemina]

As someone who just graduated in college and currently experiencing the risks and survival of getting a job, this definitely is a whole book of advice and learnings! Thank you for sharing your paths and stories. Love you both ❤❤

[@Xxxxaraaaa]

Definitely relate to the “Dragonesa” vibe of Nicole during her corporate era. Not to mention the rollercoaster ride of politics going on any companies. Haha! Still in the corporate world though because I love my job! Sometimes we just learn the hard way. At the end of the day, every phase brought so many lessons. ✨

[@LaReine-o5t]

I needed to hear all these and I'm even happier to hear from Cat. I'm going through functional freeze at 33 and I don't know which way to go. I couldn't agree more with Nicole on having that safety net if anything goes wrong and Cat saying "redirected not denied". If anyone going thru midlife or identity crisis, this is a must watch

[@melindamartinez7813]

Speak straight from the heart and share a personal exprienced. It hit many of us, at the same time you learn from them realized that every one had this misconception about what we gone through. Behind every failure leads to become sucessful indeed.

[@heretolurk]

As a 28 year old lady who obtained a post grad degree, and currently looking for my first employment, this episode is an eye-opener. I always see my colleagues having the best days of their life after finishing and passing the board exam while I felt like I am already left behind. But then those I see on ig or facebook are just the glamorous, selected pictures. There are hardship behind, there are struggles to achieve those. Listening from Nicole and Cat whom I really admire and follow ever since I got my eyes into pageantry, that they also have a fair share of struggle.And so everyone else. I feel like I received a pat in the back after watching this, to just continue and that it is normal to sometimes feel negativity.

[@lancevallespin]

Listening to it while working. This is so refreshing! You really get to realize a lot and somehow ignite that fire in you even more, to never be afraid to go where your heart tells you to be.

[@rglim]

I love the authenticity of this conversation between the two queens. ❤️

[@hashtagcassy]

Two of the most intelligent ladies in the Philippines. Love this! Worth my time♥️✨

[@mikeetuplano6004]

Hi Ms. Nicole and Cat, you are such an inspiration. Thank you for this podcast.

[@JhenRin]

They both PERFECT for each other💜 THANK YOU SO MUCH for teaching us to be better in so many ways!

[@shainahgalutan8216]

​@@NicoleCordoveshi miss Nicole 🩷🥹

[@anjenerz6379]

pls upload every weekend, love watching you both ❤

[@leae2731]

Wow I never thought that I would relate to Catriona in a deeper level, I thought she had it easy in life, to hear a woman so successful right now share her struggles gave me hope that someday I will also become successful like her, I’ll embrace this placeholder job for the mean time as I am currently in a survival phase, and prepare myself for my dream job. ❤ thank you Cat and Nicole, more stories like this please!

[@kaylieyu]

I love your podcasts. It feels like listening to older sisters 💜

[@arnelsadang4656]

I love how these two have endless energy and chika.

[@benlabio8306]

In a way it gave me the idea how their industry works na hindi pla lahat glamorous including the pay isn’t that huge. I understand their fear etc… very enlightening. Sana lng may mga inserts like clips, pictures etc.just so mas maiintindihan at mafe-feel tlga ng mga viewers specially kung mtagal n ngyari…

[@antonibalasz1522]

They are so humble.Inspiring queens.

[@hmyt_]

As a fresh grad who is aiming for an industry that seems so out of reach, this comforted me a lot

[@jhensenjanetgo]

Super love this talk! Thank you Cat and Nicole! ❤❤ I gained so much insight about trying different things and if it works out parang divine intervention siya as Cat said. And from Nicole, expecting responses of jobs but not producing anything naman. So much wisdom and reflection! 🥰

[@RonnieSoliguen]

Authentic, relevant and relatable kau sa Corporate beacuse you both are both Sincere and True.. Thank you Cat and Nicole, the perspective you shared sa corporate angle, college and family life, and the lesson on grit is what inspired me. 2 Steps Backw, indeed!

Beautiful stories & so humbling. Akala natin fabulous agad work nila at palaging nasa taas lang sila

[@docmickeyvergara630]

Got to nod, smile and even do sa slow clap with things you two say in this episode. I sooo agree and been there, done that. But what resonated most for me are 1) the no regrets from cat and 2) the safety net from nicole. Love it ladies!!! On for more!!

[@aljoytamayo3053]

I really love watching your podcast. As someone who wants to improve my English fluency, I get to learn new words out of your conversation. I also love the energy that you're giving to your viewers. More podcasts to come.

[@curiouszity]

Sobrang worth watching, ninanamnam ko bawat sinasabi nyo.

[@ElishaAhmad]

Love listening to your podcast ❤

[@armilemmetdeles8981]

I just came from a teaching position in a private school. A blessing came so I was able to resign and pursue another dream of mine. I can relate to Nicole's sharing where there are people in the office that you just don't want to see. In my case it was the murmurers and toxic chismosas. If I had no choice I would've endured that situation so that I can gain experience and provide for my daily needs. Sadly, the old saying is true "In every forest there's a snake." Its a reality that I'm slowly beginning to accept. Hopefully, in my next job I'll be miles away from the snake that sleuths in the forest.

[@allenedwardcamungao6311]

But in New Zealand, there's zero snake. 😂❤

[@LVChikoB]

Cat and Nicole, even if you do this podcast everyday, i would watch/ listen everyday too. That's for sure! ❤❤❤

[@JeffSans]

Catriona's survival phase is so relatable. Dont judge a person talaga based on their physical appearance.

[@dkravers3640]

I enjoyed the topic!!! Galing mo dull moment!😊

[@orphicamain3344]

there is a difference if youre a breadwinner. we dont explore and dont any other choice because ourselves are the only back up. I hope I was able to weigh my options and plan ahead whats best for me.

[@huhbie27]

Love this podcast🧡 I wanna be like Cat 🥰 Risk-taker 💪

[@LVChikoB]

Cguro in the future you would invite guests din ng ibang empowered women. I would love to hear stories of the likes of Chelsea Manalo, the First Lady (why not ;) ), Sen. Risa Hontiveros (immensely popular nowadays more than ever), etc Both brainy naman kayong dalawa, palagay ko you can discuss any topic under the sun with ANYBODY! that's how much i believe in both of you 😊❤💐
