Why I Built
Courage Creatives
I’ve spent over a decade helping people get hired, promoted, and recognized—from my early years in HR and Higher Education to leading my own recruitment firm. However, I’ve also witnessed the hidden cost of success: burnout, broken relationships, and brilliant people slowly losing their sense of self.
I know because I lived it.
I came to the U.S. from the Philippines with big dreams and a bigger drive to succeed. And succeed I did—as an HR leader, university faculty, writer, podcast host, singer-songwriter, etc. On paper, it all looked perfect. But in reality, my relationships suffered. I was physically overextended, emotionally exhausted, and hungry for something deeper than professional validation.
That’s why I had to make a change. I realized that I am not alone. Too many people seem to achieve more while they enjoy their life less. At the same time, organizations are working hard to grow while managing staff struggling with burnout, disengagement, and lack of motivation.
I built Courage Creatives to help change that.
I believe in embracing a life that’s integrated, where success doesn’t come at the cost of your intimate relationships, your friendships, or your sense of self. Because real success is balanced so it can be sustainable.
