From Influencer to Playboy, Wedding Bells, Being a Homebody and Socially Awkward with Faith
Delve into the fascinating world of social media influence through the eyes of Faith, an entrepreneur who defies expectations at every turn. This candid conversation reveals the powerful contradictions that have shaped her remarkable journey from shy middle-schooler to successful content creator, model, athlete, and Playboy Bunny.
Faith's story begins with a young girl convinced her parents to buy her first camera, setting her on a path that would lead to a thriving career in digital content creation. Yet beneath the polished exterior lies someone who describes herself as having "really bad social anxiety" – a surprising admission from someone who thrives in the public eye. With refreshing honesty, she shares how she navigates this paradox, creating an "alter ego" for her online presence while remaining a dedicated homebody in real life.
The conversation takes unexpected turns as Faith opens up about graduating high school at 16, burning out in her early twenties despite rigid self-discipline, and finding love with a partner who proposed just seven months after they met. Her detailed wedding plans reveal a deep connection to her Filipino heritage, while her dream retirement – living off the land with dogs, children, and no social media – showcases a grounded vision for the future.
Perhaps most revelatory is Faith's discussion of her work as a Playboy Bunny with a digital centerfold – a career choice she approaches with confidence and the full support of her husband. Throughout the episode, she demonstrates how embracing life's contradictions rather than fighting them has allowed her to build an authentic life on her own terms.
Whether you're a content creator navigating your own public/private divide or simply fascinated by the human capacity to contain multitudes, Faith's story will inspire you to reexamine assumptions about success, relationships, and finding your unique path in the digital age.

Speaker 2:you know what made you say yeah, man, I'll come on your shit I'm a, so I, I, I even hate saying it to this day, but like I am kind of like a full-time influencer. But growing up that wasn't a thing that existed. But I started to get into like social media and content creation when I was like in middle school.
Speaker 1:Oh shit, Middle school Did you have a camera back then too?
Speaker 2:I forced my parents to get me a camera.
Speaker 1:Is it the little camera with the open screen thing, or is it one of them, big ones?
Speaker 2:It was like whatever Canon had out at that time.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, I remember those.
Speaker 2:And I was like super into fashion, so I would like set up the camera on the tripod and I would film my outfits and post it onto like YouTube and Instagram and all that kind of stuff, and eventually it just turned into a full-time career.
Speaker 2:Just turned into a full-time career. So what I love to do is, like, when I'm going to like my instagram dm request or not, what I actually pay more attention to are like newer creators or newer businesses, because I'm such a huge advocate of like supporting local businesses, but also like not necessarily smaller, but more so like up and coming creatives, because I've been in that position before, you know, and so, if I can like when I was growing my career, I was so grateful to grow because of bigger platforms or bigger opportunities, so now that I kind of have somewhat of a leverage to do it, you know I try where I can. So, yeah, oh girl, thank you so much. No, thank you. Thank you for having me. Unfortunately, I don't, like I can't understand filipino speak it, so you understood what I just said. Yeah, you said something about saying being thank you, thankful uh, you know what you're there, you're there you are there.
Speaker 1:You are there, uh, miss mith. Uh, where were you coming from, uh, prior to uh coming here? Because, uh, you and I was chopping it up, yes, and you had like a busy ass like morning schedule, like where were you coming from?
Speaker 2:I actually was filming, uh, um media or content, for I'm not sure if I can just quite it actually.
Speaker 1:Don't do it.
Speaker 2:I don't know if it's fully published, but it's essentially for another big company here, and so I've been running around doing shoots and I found a way to fit this into my schedule, so yeah.
Speaker 1:Yes, yes, when you're doing these shoots, do people notice you Like, hey, that's Faith over there, that's Faith.
Speaker 2:I guess so.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh. So they were like hey, faith, what's up, what's good girl.
Speaker 2:Or were they?
Speaker 1:like just who the fuck is that?
Speaker 2:I think they knew, because I've known them for a while, like this specific company.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:But I don't know I try not to think about it if, like, people can recognize me or not. Okay, but one thing I will say is sometimes I wonder if I come off as like bitchy oh, tell me about that. You got an rbf I got a bad rbf, and on top of that I'm blind. So wait.
Speaker 1:When you say you're blind, that does that mean like right now you have contacts?
Speaker 2:I have no contacts or glasses on. I just like to go about my life, so only being able to see what 60 feet in front of me so you could drive, kind of sort of don't drive at all. Wait, yeah, that's something she okay, I'm a hundred percent a passenger, princess oh, really, yeah, how many fingers?
Speaker 2:two, okay, okay, you ain't that blind I'm not that blind but, like so, for example, the cameras are in front of us. I can't see shit behind it girl, let me tell you, is it because it's dark or is it because, like a combination of both, so like if I'm in the store or at the gym or wherever I may be and I don't say hi, or if I'm giving you stink face I promise it's just my face and I didn't recognize you yet Like you gotta be right here, oh shit, in order for me to be like oh hey, no way.
Speaker 1:So could you tell where your purse is at and your drink?
Speaker 2:Off of memory. Off of memory, Like put it over there, but I can distinctly see it in the distance what side is your cup on? The right side. Okay, I'm not.
Speaker 1:I'm not disabled okay like I'm not talking to you, I'm just. I just wanted to check the only reason, are you sure? The only reason why I say that? Because I'm partially blind too. I had um, the surgery called icl really so, uh, it's when they put a permanent lens in your eyes.
Speaker 2:Oh shit, I need that.
Speaker 1:So I got that done, because my eyes were too bad for the LASIK.
Speaker 2:Really yeah, wow yeah.
Speaker 1:So I guess I think my eyesight was. I don't want to say it's the same or maybe worse, but I couldn't drive without my glasses.
Speaker 2:You don't have to wear like. You don't got to wear contacts or glasses anymore.
Speaker 1:Not anymore, no, that must be life-changing. Oh my gosh, it is because, like the first, I'm not going to shit you like, the first three weeks, waking up, I was used to this, you know, like when you're just randomly like because you know your glasses Actually, yeah, yeah, exactly. And then, waking up, I'm like looking for my glasses, yeah, but you know, that stopped like after the third or fourth week, but the first three I was just like and I opened my eyes. I'm like, oh snap, and it feels really good to have 2020.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because I'm like oh wow, this is what leaf looks like on a bark. You know, I was like amazed on how colorful everything was, because everything is a blur.
Speaker 2:Yes To me amazed on how colorful.
Speaker 1:Everything was because everything is a blur. Yes, to me, like I could, I could kind of distinguish colors, but it was like super fuzzy, like yeah, like your face I wouldn't. All I would see is probably your teeth and maybe like the whites of your eyes and the black. Other than that I wouldn't be able to see distinct details really like that's for real.
Speaker 1:Okay, I my my eyesight isn't that bad I know, I mean, you can see too I can see too, yeah, so wait, I think my eyes were that bad where I couldn't see your purse and your cup that's crazy how did I get in the military?
Speaker 2:I have no idea yeah right, right no but was your eyesight good back then?
Speaker 1:fuck. No, I had some thick, some thick-ass, goddamn binoculars, man. They made fun of me so bad. It was like, hey, what's going on in Somalia? You can see that far. I'm like, oh bitch, shut up, you fucking ass, I get that. I get that, oh, yeah.
Speaker 1:And so on. These shoots right. The people like say you have this rbf? Are they scared to be like, hey, can I take a picture with you or can you sign something? Have you ever had that happen to you where they wanted to take a picture of you because you were out and about taking these photos? Like they think that?
Speaker 2:I haven't had anyone ask me to sign okay anything. I don't think I'm at that level okay but I've had people take photos with me with you yeah, but I would like to think that, like I'm, I would like to think I'm somewhat approachable. So there's never been like a situation where, like someone is like super, like nervous or I don't try and make it like that I think that's just small, kind weird for me. So I end up making friends off the bat.
Speaker 1:No, that's good A person with an RBF being super approachable and being friendly.
Speaker 2:I don't actually. You know what. That doesn't make sense, but you know what, it's fine.
Speaker 1:I know right, it's a great oxymoron.
Speaker 2:Yeah. Like jumbo shrimp yeah, that's essentially what I am. Hey, there you go. Hey, that's what I am jumbo shrimp hey, uh, tasteful and um hey.
Speaker 1:so if y'all listening udon udon, what's udon Noodles? You've never had udon. No, I had noodles, but like for people that don't know, oh, why wouldn't they know? I'm kidding Because they're probably like of the they're like. Non-cultured.

Speaker 2:I hope faith don't trip on her shit, because it's 14 grand, big, long, you know yeah, and then I have like a whole ball gown but then the florals that I want. You know that's pretty pricey. I I'm starting to realize how much shit costs for weddings and I'm getting numb like, oh is it? It's just a couple grand more. It's fine, we can just tag it on and then deal with the consequences of our poor financial decisions after the wedding so you're not gonna have a bridal, you're not gonna have a bridal party.
Speaker 1:no, you have this gown, that with a 14 foot, with a huge veil With a huge veil.
Speaker 2:And then we have, like, the church ceremony, and then we have cocktail hour Cocktail hour?

Speaker 1:Facts.
Speaker 2:So it's hard for her to travel, and mainly that's why we wanted to, because I'm her first great-grandchild, so I wanted to make sure that she was there.

Long. I can't recall.
Speaker 2:But, the thing is is like him and I are both adventurous. We're just kind of antisocial, so I don't know, how would you determine that we're not really homebodies, because I love to do things.
Speaker 1:But you like to do it just.
Speaker 2:I like super, super small circles.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Like if it's something big at a party, I get like super anxious. Like a good example was. I actually had to go to an LA party.

Speaker 2:Cheers to social awkwardness I know right. Oh, I forgot. Got what it's called um.
Speaker 3:Like you, you are like an, an extrovert, so I think it's advert no advert, right, yeah, yeah, that yeah, oh wow, I, I would not have thought that would be you like at first glance, you know, because you are like a creator yes, yes, people usually think, but you know what I've discovered?
Speaker 2:I feel like a lot of creators like they're. Some are super extroverted, but some, like they use as like their creative outlet and they're more on the introverted side oh, it's like um, was it?
Speaker 1:they get into character.
Speaker 2:Yes, yes, okay, like my social media is what I would call my alter ego oh, really yeah, like how beyonce is with Sasha. Yes.
Speaker 1:Yes, babe. Not. Yonce. Manifesting my inner Beyonce, oh girl girl, Let me ask you we go back to college, right?
Speaker 2:Yes, when you went to college and you were just a young buck how did you handle all these new experiences that's just coming at you all at once? So I would say so I'm actually I'm super chill now, but back when I was younger I was balls to the wall like career oriented. So my experience with college was unique. I didn't get like a traditional college experience, mainly because I was actually in fashion school so I was actually working two jobs. One was building my influencer content creation career, and one was actually I was working three jobs. One was like an actual retail job so that I could pay for things and survive, and then another one was like for fashion internships and stuff like that, so I would go to my classes and then I would work a job in between, and then I go to another class or another seminar and work my job in between. And I lived my life like that for a three year straight.
Speaker 1:Really Because I understand like the city is. It's pretty expensive up there in the city.
Speaker 2:Yes, I had the privilege where, like, my parents supported me, but I have always been very career oriented. I would say I'm. I would say I'm a pretty ambitious person, even more so when I was younger. Now I'm kind of cruising. My husband taught me how to relax a little bit, but back then I would be like wake up at 4 am and then I would not end my day until 1 am at night until I had everything done, and that's how I was kind of able to kind of build and develop my career. And then when I move, I moved back to Oahu after college and that's when I got into body building and that's when I got into my athletic career and my schedule became even more extreme. So I would say, like I'm, I'm a pretty rigid person when it comes to like discipline, but now I'm I'm more relaxed as I've gotten older. I've learned how to take a fucking chill pill.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's good yeah it's like, especially not like that when I was young girl, especially in on the island.
Speaker 1:everyone's on that Hawaii chill mode, right? Yes, and I commend you for being on top of your shit while being here. Thank you, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Because I've noticed a lot of that chill shit here too, and especially coming from the military. You've got to be spot on. Yeah, you've got to be spot on 15, 30 minutes prior to like a lot of shit. But over here, you know, I see people coming into work like 15, 30 minutes, like it ain't nothing. Yeah, I'm just like man, you got parties starting like three hours afterwards, exactly. I'm like, oh god, what the hell you?
Speaker 2:know, but you know when I was younger- I didn't appreciate it, but now that I'm older I definitely appreciate it, because I think one of the things that I learned very quickly was because, like, eventually, I felt like my ambition, my ambition had caught up to me and I burned out super early oh shit by the time that I had turned.
Speaker 2:There was a moment in my life where I turned 20, 22, 23 and I felt like I had like exhausted all of my energy because I was putting in like 15 hour days dedicated to like growing my career and whatever else I had going on. That I shut down for a moment and so I'm finally kind of like making a return after like learning how to balance my life and have my shit together instead of like trying to go at a thousand miles per hour for, um, people that are trying to like, say, in the path of your shoes, right, yeah, like the whole grind thing.
Speaker 1:What does a burnout feel like, or what is that consist of?
Speaker 2:for me personally, I feel like doing jack shit oh, so you're just like I.
Speaker 2:It was like a strange sensation because I could go and do tasks like back to back to back to back, and then one day I just woke up and it was just like hard to even just like get out of bed and I was like I've never experienced this before. Like, usually I'm the type where, like I'm a morning person and like I'm like, uh, I'm psycho, like I used to be so psycho. I used to wake up in the morning, I used to meditate, I used to do my stretches, I used to journal, then I would check my email and then I mean no, that's like that's a good routine, though no, it's a good routine, but it was so stringent to the point where, like there's not a moment to breathe oh is
Speaker 1:what I'm saying, and then I would get like super ocd with my schedule.
Speaker 2:So if something would fuck up my schedule or if something wasn't scheduled, then I would like fall apart oh girl, that's um.
Speaker 1:That's like a part of adhd is it? No, it is because I got. I got diagnosed, I have a therapist so tell me to get one. No, no, no, no, no well, maybe, well, I don't know the shit that you'd be saying, though, uh, let me tell you this no, uh, no, I'm, I'm that this is funny because me and my wife was talking about this this morning. Um, I'm totally against the whole therapy bullshit, you know.
Speaker 2:I'm a Filipino of you.
Speaker 1:I know right, Ain't nothing wrong with me. Just go to church Right, have the priest bless you, but the army told me I have to go to one.
Speaker 2:Really yeah.
Speaker 1:Wow, Because every year we go through a thing called PHA Physical Health Assessment.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:So we talk to you, know, know, like a physician, we talk to one of these therapists or whatever, and then you have to like tell them the truth, uh-huh. So I told him the truth and they're like hey, you know what, chris, you are gonna go see a therapist. I'm like god damn. So I go to the therapist and, um, yeah, go to the therapist and he's like shooting me with a whole bunch of shit, I and I'm just like dog, to be honest, man, I don't know why I'm here, but I'm here to have an open mind. But I asked him I was like dude, can you, I think I have ADHD, can you diagnose me, or some shit. And he said yeah, and then, sure enough, I have ADHD.
Speaker 1:I did not know that. And he's like dude, how long have you know, how long have you had this? I was like dude, I don't know. That's why I'm here. And so so he was like well, you, uh, you managed to, um, to calm it down for such a long time. And he asked me what do, what did I do? And, mind you, like I'm fucking stupid. But when I write things down and shit, yeah, that's where I'm like I'm good, you know.
Speaker 1:And then when I'm sitting, still just like sitting, still trying to concentrate, I have to like blurt out something like but you gotta do something yeah, or, like you know, do something to like get my brain going again yeah but that's a part of adhd, and then my my schedule is like strictly on that too, because I wake up like 2 am, like almost every morning 2 am to do what?
Speaker 2:I like my me time what the at 2 am in the morning. Yeah, I got kids, enough I got. I got a family girl let me tell you something he's like. I want that time from 2 am to 4 am.
Speaker 1:No, let me tell you so at2 am I watch.
Speaker 2:You know I watch espn, when do you sleep?
Speaker 1:I sleep when the babies go to sleep and they sleep at like 7, 7.30.
Speaker 2:How old are your kids?
Speaker 1:Six and eight. Yeah, so they're at that stage where, oh dad, can you sleep in our room? And I'm like bet, and I honestly try to spend time with my wife afterwards, but my ass ends up falling asleep. So it's like, okay, I'm sorry. So I wake up at my 2, 2, 30 um espn and then I walk my dog. I love walking my dog. For some odd reason, I just like doing it that's cute.
Speaker 2:What kind of dog do you have?
Speaker 1:oh she's, she's the mix, um uh, a pit and husky I love pits and huskies, yeah, so she's like a mix of them.
Speaker 1:I, we had her since california. Is she loud? No, no, when she was younger, yes, but now she's like, she's super mellow, like she knows, yeah, she knows. And then, yeah, and then I go to the gym and then come back home and then I start, you know, getting the kids's breakfast and lunch ready and all that bullshit. But yeah, that's like my routine and if, if, that anything fucks that up, I'm like shit, I don't know what the fucking do. Where I feel, I feel kind of off, or you know, my equilibrium is like oh my god, are you the same way? Yes, yeah, you're like you don't know what to do now what's next?
Speaker 2:yes, yes, adhd I would like to think I don't girl get diagnosed.
Speaker 1:I'm the.
Speaker 2:Filipino she's like you know what?
Speaker 1:I'm good, I'm okay.
Speaker 2:I'll face that challenge she's in denial.
Speaker 1:That's a part of ADHD. When you went to college, did your boyfriend follow you too?
Speaker 2:so I was not with my husband at the time.
Speaker 1:Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay we met when I was 20. Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, oh my gosh, we make five years this year.
Speaker 1:Oh, congratulations, yeah, Wow, yeah. How did he Let me ask you this? How did he ask you to be officially his girl? He didn't, oh my god. So y'all just like hung out and then just never went apart was that the story.
Speaker 2:He never formally asked me. He actually proposed seven months into us dating. So he I guess he had just assumed, and then it was he popped the question.
Speaker 1:I mean you said yeah. I said yes wait, hold up seven months. Let me okay, because it took me years to act, to propose to my wife. Let me. He just knew. I guess he just knew, did you know?
Speaker 2:I would say that in full transparency. In our relationship I was the more slow person to open up, but he, he like it's's okay. He knew off the bat. He told me that he loved me, like a week into his talking when did he pop the for the L word?
Speaker 1:shut your ass. Well, you know what. They come in and dime a dozen. Yes okay okay, I'm gonna give him the benefit of doubt. I'll be like, hey, hey, you feel it, you got it, dude, it's in your gut. He knew, he knew right away, right off the bat. He was like yo, I'm talking to her, I'm not letting her go.
Speaker 2:He was like super aggressive, like in fact, like I think it was a month into us talking and I was, I popped the question. It was like kind of like what the fuck do you mean? We are Like we're dating, like we've been together, and he was like you think that we haven't been together.
Speaker 1:And you were like oh, I was like yeah, we've been together. But the label wasn't there there was no label.
Speaker 2:He just assumed I'm thinking in his head like the moment that we started talking. That's when he thought that we Like you guys were together like we're together forever and ever.
Speaker 1:Wow looking back um, could you see that pan out the same way, or would you be like? You know, I need a label I was.
Speaker 2:I actually was a little bit apprehensive, like with how aggressive he was, but I will say and a lot of times people do tend to say this, like if you have ever met my husband or if you've seen us interact with each other, that's like my best fucking friend, like we are, we are two peas in a pod and I feel like it's if if, even if we weren't romantically involved, we were always like friendship, wise involved, and I feel like inevitably that would then turn into like a romantic relationship.
Speaker 2:Yes, but meeting him it was just kind of like things clicked okay yeah, and it was kind of like I was only 20 at the time, so I naturally was like very nervous about everything, and even when he proposed I was like very nervous about everything, and even when he proposed I was like, oh my God, I just turned 21.
Speaker 1:Like what am I doing?
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know, I'm about to dedicate my whole life to this man.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you just turned 21. Yeah, like you haven't even had your first legal drink yet, yeah. Or got your first lotto ticket, your first scratcher, yeah.
Speaker 2:So your first scratcher? Yeah, so that's crazy. I was like, yeah. So after that I was just kind of like the rest is history and we've been together ever since.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's good, that's cool yeah, oh, my goodness, yeah uh, besides living where you're at now, have you been living in any other parts of uh the earth?
Speaker 2:yeah, so we've actually moved quite often because of mainly his work oh, is he in the military too? I can't quite disclose. Oh my gosh, he's an fbi agent oh wait, would you be okay cutting this part?
Speaker 1:no, don't, just, don't even say it, just don't even say it. He just moves a lot he moves a lot good, good, oh pause, pause, pause shit.
Speaker 2:Pause, pause, pause. We don't really like to disclose specifically what he does for work yeah, yeah, yeah, I understand. But what was the question?
Speaker 1:Oh, did y'all like besides where y'all stay at now? Have y'all lived anywhere else?
Speaker 2:in the world. Yes, so he actually was living in Maui. That's how I met, met and then he lived in molokai for some time for work what's that? The, the and the island okay, cool, cool you're learning. Do you know all the islands?
