What does it mean to build a life slowly, with your hands, your heart, and a lot of sunlight?

 

In this soft but honest conversation, I sat down with El Nido-based creative Carla “Lala” Magbuhat to talk about island life, artistic expression, and choosing a pace that feels right. Lala describes herself as a “dreamer at day, artist by chance, full-time hustler, and forever a student of life”, and this episode is every bit a reflection of that.

 

We explored how creativity can be found in daily rituals, how nature holds space for healing, and how to navigate social media and self-worth in a world that moves fast. Lala shares her journey through photography, yoga, and studio-building; all anchored in El Nido’s grounding community and quiet beauty.

 

This episode is for the ones learning to build with intention. For the artists, the wanderers, the slow movers. And for anyone wondering if you can do life a little differently, and still make something beautiful.

 

Because maybe, just maybe...
this could be something.
