Filipina on the Rise
Erika Casupanan, Winner of Survivor, How to Actually Take Up Space, Being Underestimated to Unstoppable
What if we don’t know how to take up space? Maybe it wasn’t taught to us growing up. Maybe it’s not naturally part of our culture.
On this episode swap, Krystl talks with Erika Casupanan — the first ever Filipino AND Canadian to win Survivor! Erika is a speaker, TV personality, and writer who's built a career on flipping the script on what it means to be underestimated. On Happy to See Me, she interviews guests who were often counted out — and highlights how they broke past the limits placed on them.
In this episode, Erika and Krystl have a vulnerable and empowering conversation around a big question:
They talk about their Filipino upbringing, imposter syndrome, the upper limit problem, and the slow, intentional process of building real self-compassion. You’ll hear stories, reflections, and practical insights that will inspire you to be kind to yourself and step into your power authentically.
✨ This one’s for anyone who’s ever felt small in spaces they were meant to shine in.
