RISE Tayo
RISE Tayo: Stories of Filipino Resilience and Calling is a faith-rooted podcast that celebrates the courage, grit, and grace of Filipino immigrants chasing their God-given purpose. Hosted by Blanche DiDomenico, a proud Filipino-American nurse, life coach, and faith-based encourager, this show features heartfelt stories of kababayans who rose from humble beginnings, overcame cultural challenges, and stepped into their calling.
Whether you’re navigating life in a new land, overcoming adversity, or still discovering your purpose, these inspiring testimonies will remind you: You are not alone, and you were born to rise.
Join us every week as we share real stories, powerful reflections, and transformational conversations grounded in faith, Filipino culture, and the RISE framework—Resilience, Impact, Service, and Empowerment.
