Asian Academy Creative Awards 2022 Best Actress Jodi Sta. Maria tries a different approach in introducing what she loves to her audience. How Do I Begin Again? As how Jodi presents her story in the first episode of Live Light, an online show in her YouTube channel, The JSM Channel.

11 minutes and 29 seconds, Jodi highlights the concept of how to begin again. Whether it’s a new character on a show or an online show where she talks about the things that she loves or the things that matter to her and to her audience.

Jodi shares that part of beginning again is also about transformation, from being a child of a single parent, to a girl working in her teens, to getting married and having a child, which she considers her biggest blessing, to getting separated and her fair share of wild and crazy days. Jodi shares that there are moments that she’s not proud of, but those moments also help who she is now.

“Kung wala akong kinatutunan sa mga pangyayaring ‘yun, magiging pattern lang siya, magiging cycle and eventually I get stuck. And I don’t want that to happen,” Jodi shares.

While starting again brings hope, it also scares Jodi at the same time because of the fear of the unknown and the uncertainties because you are leaving a familiar ground. The fear of change and also the fear of failing, the question, what if it won’t work, always pops out, but at the same time, you don’t know what will happen if you won’t move forward and try.

Jodi warmly talks to her audience. That all these feelings are valid. The first episode, in a way, feels like what we see when people go to psychiatrists and talk about how they feel. With her personality, you feel her sincerity in wanting people to be better while watching her online show.

With this, Jodi shares her five steps to begin again. All this advice has basis from psychiatrists and experts Jodi studied.

What Jodi shared in the first episode of Live Light feels sincere, feels like it’s been told by someone close to you.

Thank you for this, Ms. Jodi. ❤️
