Gabbi sits back down with Shale Albao, founder of Tadhana Fragrance, one of the first Philippine perfume brands formulated, sourced, and built entirely in the Philippines. In this second part of their conversation, they go deeper into the raw materials that make Tadhana so distinct, the ingredients the Philippines has quietly been exporting to luxury fragrance houses for decades, and what it means to finally tell that story on your own terms.

From ylang ylang's true origins to the earthy nuance of Vetiver Filipina, from calamansi extract to the brand's most beloved scents, this episode is a love letter to Philippine perfumery and the renaissance happening right now in Filipino beauty. Shale shares what it felt like when every step of building Tadhana confirmed she was on the right path, and Gabbi reflects on the gravitational pull of destiny and what it means to sprint toward something before the window closes.

What does it actually mean to take care of yourself when your job is beauty? In this episode of Finding Beauty Every Day, Gabbi Pascua traces the through-line between her career as a makeup artist and the wellness practice she built alongside it — from a career panel at beauty school that changed how she thought about her body, to the morning routines, journaling habits, and spiritual observations that became the foundation of how she shows up.

She gets honest about the early years: the erratic call times, the oversleeping, the missed jobs, and the slow realization that grounding herself wasn't optional — it was professional. She also shares a story about a friend's offhand comment that stung precisely because she was at her healthiest, and what that moment revealed about comparison, projection, and the quiet battles everyone in the beauty industry is fighting.

This one is personal, reflective, and real — a reminder that the most successful people Gabbi has ever worked with all had one thing in common: they knew how to take care of themselves first.

In this first daily audio exclusive, Gabbi Pascua gets honest about comparison, divine-guided pivots, and why she stopped holding out on the audience that was actually showing up. She reflects on how Los Angeles shaped her relationship with health, spirituality, and creative freedom — and why the world is finally catching up to what she's always known: that wellness isn't a trend, it's a lifeline. A conversation for anyone building something different, pivoting with purpose, or learning to stop looking left and right.
