  ⁠⁠Mimiyuuuh on Luck, Hard Work, and Building the Life She Once Dreamed Of with Kylie Verzosa 28.10.2026 1h 17m

  In Episode 45 of Almost Honest, Kylie sits down with Mimiyuuuh for a hilarious, honest, and surprisingly deep Halloween special about the things that are scarier than ghosts. From selling clothes with her parents in Baclaran to sitting front row at Paris Fashion Week, Mimi opens up about turning her dreams into reality, providing for her family as a breadwinner, and finally learning to reward herself for the life she worked so hard to build. The episode covers the “clean money” comment that took on a life of its own online, being called “unrelatable,” why luck matters as much as hard work, embracing singlehood at 30, her lucky girl mindset, and her biggest fear of all: being poor again. Equal parts funny and real, this conversation asks what happens when you finally make it, whether success changes you, and if it’s ever really enough. Because you can take the girl out of Baclaran, but you can’t take Baclaran out of the girl.This episode is brought to you by &you.

  In Episode 26 of Almost Honest, Kylie sits down with Jade So for a fearless conversation about identity, self-expression, and the courage it takes to take up space unapologetically. From navigating life as a trans woman in the Philippines to becoming one of the most talked-about queens in the drag scene, Jade opens up about the experiences that shaped her—from being denied entry to her prom, facing discrimination, and finding her place in a world that often tried to tell her who she should be. The episode explores drag beyond the makeup and performances, diving into confidence, visibility, dating, mental health, and the realities of living authentically under public scrutiny. Bold, funny, vulnerable, and deeply empowering, this conversation is about owning your truth, reclaiming your narrative, and learning that your differences can become your greatest strength.Kylie VerzosaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylieverzosa/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kylieverzosa2016TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@verzosakylieJade SoInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/m1ssjadeso/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/m1ssjadesoTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@m1ssjadeso?lang=en
