“It is so okay not to be okay.” – Philipp Chen Tan on Juicy Cologne’s empowerment campaign.
In partnership with Juicy Cologne, Inner Peace PH gets to share insights about challenges, dreams, and motivations! Philipp Chen Tan, owner of Inner Peace PH, joins Jacklyn Uy, content creator, for a quick QnA with Ms. Phoebe Fernandez. They bring two perspectives from the views of a Mental Health professional, and as a big Influencer.
The event revolved around Juicy Cologne’s theme “Light Up, Shine!”, voicing a strong message for the youth to strut life with confidence. Mr. Chen Tan and Ms. Jacklyn Uy expressed their thoughts on self-acceptance, achieving dreams, and how they dealt with their own challenges.
Self-Acceptance
The two emphasized on the importance of loving both the good and bad parts of oneself. With self-acceptance, one must see oneself in the eyes of those who love them. Everyone would love to be more but it is not necessary to compare oneself to others along the process of self-acceptance.
“Self-acceptance for me really is about embracing the good and the bad, and knowing that it’s actually okay not to be perfect.” Mr. Chen Tan states, giving the audience an impactful message that accepting imperfections is okay.
Achieving One’s Dreams
Mr. Chen Tan give the audience an easy tip to achieving one’s dreams: 3Cs – Commitment, Compassion, and Care. These were three key things he believed could help anyone with their dreams. Furthermore, he discussed the importance of staying connected with those who matter. Reminding everyone that we can always reach out, and that’s completely fine.
Ms. Jacklyn Uy also shared her thoughts on how one can achieve dreams. She focused on the thought that when things went wrong, just do the things you love.
Jacklyn states that, “If ever you feel a little aimless, if ever you don’t know where things are going in your life, just know that it will add up eventually.“, because to her, everything has a purpose.
Facing Challenges
Everyone faces different challenges, but what can one do to help themselves? Well, Ms. Jacklyn Uy encouraged the audience to stay motivated when things get harder. It’s not wrong to be in a state of figuring things out. As she states, she would find her “why” when things get tough. Learning is always part of facing problems.
Mr. Chen Tan also had his own take, sharing his personal experience with the audience and assuring them that one can always embrace what is amazing about one’s self. In the darkness, there is light, and for him, you can always find it in yourself to be brighter.
Q&A
The two also responded to some questions from the audience, sharing more of their ideas on how one can help themselves. Engaging and encouraging the audience to be in touch with their connections, to reach out when needed, and to learn to have some self-care.
This segment of the Q&A took a more in depth take on the audience’s curious minds. This cheering connection between audience and speaker created a space for them to connect. This sparks opportunities for anyone listening on how they can keep reaching out.
Meeting Belle Mariano
The event continued after the short segment, with special guest start Belle Mariano, Juicy Cologne’s ambassador. She performed Juicy Cologne’s latest song, “Light up, Shine1”. The short performance brought joys to the fans, it was quite the show.
Belle also joined in some activities to interact with her audience. Having fun and showing them the essence of youth and a cheerful spirit. She gave everyone such a warm feeling as she encouraged the youth to shine as brightly as they can.
Light up, Shine!
The event was a success, with Mr. Chen Tan and Ms. Jacklyn Uy inspiring and motivating the youth on how they can navigate through life challenges with confidence. Sending the message to walk with confidence, with strength, and without fear of wanting to grow out of hardships.
