Maxene Magalona Opens Up About Her Mental Health Condition | Toni Talks 

“The darkest peiod of my life, was meant for me to find my light.”

she is so articulate… she knows how to pick the right word to tell

SA LAHAT NG NAKAKABASA NITO SANA MAGING SUCCESSFUL TAYO THIS YEAR Let's claim it✊❤️

ito talaga ang totoong "SHARING". Grabe!! umaapaw ang wisdom.

You're not changing. You're becoming the person you're meant to be.

When Maxene define what love is "It is accepting everything, not judging others, looking at them with compassion, being kind to the unkind." I got goosepumps and teary eyed because it feels like God is speaking through her. Recently that's what I've been struggling "Being kind to the unkind" because they are the ones who needs kindness the most. #BeLove

This is Toni's most profound interview yet. Maxene is such an enlightened soul. Everybody needs to see this. ❤️

Grabe magbigay ang Lord ng Wisdom 😭 Totoo nga na yung di magandang nangyayari at naeexperience mo ay magiging greatest testimony someday! Ameeeennn!!

Thank you for sharing Maxene from now on. I will not ask my students more about modules but instead kumustahin sila and make them feel that we're here as their second parent who can give advices or a friend who is ready to listen. Thank you Maxene!

Maxene is a very intelligent person. She actually finally said all the feelings I can't put into words. For some reason naluha ko while I'm listening to her kasi I can relate. Gosh! Thank you Toni Talks ♥️

"Admitting that you're going through pain, owning it and embracing it is actually a very strong and courageous thing to do. Running away from it is actually what makes you weak" - Maxene Magolona 🥰 Acknowledging your pain is a form of healing too💪

I just hope Maxene will have her own podcast 🥺, she's full of wisdom 🥺❤️

Gonzaga sisters giving us the weekend vibe we need-resting, surrendering, and believing in the sovereignty that there is God.

Maxene is the definition of a lost soul who found her true purpose of existence.

Maxene took control of this episode. She spoke what she needed to. A lot of information and a lot will learn from her journey. Well done for getting through the sadness.

“Be kind to the unkind, they are the ones who need it the most…” Thanks maxene!

I'm not a fan of reading books, but this interview makes me feel as if I've just finished reading a novel full of hope and love.

“ We were never broken to begin with. Healing is actually remembering who you really are.” 🥲🥺❤️

I'm here because of Understanding the Self my professor gave me this topic for Maxene Medina's Case Study. I'm glad that I watched the whole video, and not just using AI.

Maxine has been so matured and so full of words of wisdom, indeed experience is the best teacher and God has a purpose for everything

Teary eyes, she’s right, everything she said is right.

Ms. Toni G. And Ms Maxine M. deserve to have their own podcast about healing and self-love ❤️❤️❤️

"The reason why can't fully express your love is because you haven't loved yourself yet. You cannot love another person if you don't love yourself." This sentence really hits me allot.😢

"Love your self first" - "Healing is actually remembering who you really are"- Sarap makinig sa kwentuhan sana pay part2 nito.🥰😍

I feel like this one deserves a second episode, seriously. Thanks a lot,Max. Such a blessing,really.

Maxene should have her own show where she can discuss mental health and actually help people suffering from it. This is the best episode that I have watched in ToniTalks. I learned a lot maybe because we actually experienced what she experienced. Being in a dark place at some point of our lives. I hope that I can see more of Maxene's testimony and educating people the importance of mental health.

naisip ko lang, yung kahit papano swerte pa din sila na kahit na may challenges sila mentally, may pera pa din sila, nakaka travel, go out to escape what bothers them, they can see experts for consultation, what more yung mga ordinaryong tao na walang wala na may parehong pinagdadaanan. I cant imagine how they handle the same problem. Dasal at lakas ng loob lang yung meron sila.

"You are not really changing, You are becoming a person". Thank you for this 💗

Tony is a good interviewer. She doesn't interrupt and let's them talk. Effortless..it's like u can just tell her anything

Grabe yung connection nila, and yung transition ng mga words and thoughts. Sorbang fruitful and interesting. Thank you for sharing this. Glory to God!!

"HEALING is actually remembering who you really are" 👌🙏🙏

2024! More Maxene and toni talks pls..

A lot of people in their early 30s can and will relate to Maxene's journey. I think our generation has a common problem - we were all raised by parents who inflict trauma, knowingly or unknowingly. Let's break the cycle and be better parents to the next generation.... and it all starts with healing ourselves first.

She’s a woman of wisdom. I love her 💙 Proverbs 31:26 When she speaks, her words are wise, and she gives instructions with kindness.

She has so many insights and positive energy. I love how she expresses her word, they are powerful and persuasive. Thank you for these words.

I’m in the middle of dark phase in my life until I saw this vid. Thanks Max and Toni for making this! 😭😭😭

So beautiful! Grabe yung wisdom na binigay ni Lord kay Maxene, nag-uumapaw! Pakikinggan at aabangan mo talaga yung mga sinasabi nya. Really inspiring.

I don’t understand how can people dislike this interview. I love her honesty. We need more people like her..

"Lord, please bless me with work that aligns with my values". This awakes me. I used to pray for a career that will align my course, my profession, but never did seek for aligning it with my purpose. Thank you Toni for bringing Maxene as a guest. You two are so precious, so heart whelming and so genuine people. I really admire the way you two think and inspire other people. I really hope that both of your platforms do reach a lot of people and may they get the wisdom that you two are able to share. May the Lord continue to pour blessings into our hearts and may a lot of people find the true meaning of love, life, and existence.

This interview speaks to my soul. Every word hits the spot. Thank you.

"Admitting that you're going through pain, owning it, and embracing it is actually a very strong and courageous thing to do. Running away from it is actually makes you weak."

*From crying to Alex vlog just now and still crying because what Maxine said is truly uplifting parang lahat ng sinabi niya nafeel ko din in denial sa lahat ng bagay, just watching this motivate me to change my ugly habit... i really need too.. God bless your show im so loving it*

"Mental health:I really believe we should speak more about it, more openly. That we should talk about just like how we talk about physical health" a highlight message from Maxine, what a wonderful topic, tnx Maxine

"You know what, we we're never broken to begin with Healing is actually remembering who you really are"

This Tonitalks affected me so much. It's true that when we are at our 20s onwards, we lost at some point in our lives & gain our sanity towards the beginning of our 30s & beyond perhaps not applicable to everyone. I smoked cigarette when I was 18 back in my college days in Baguio, alcohol abuse, poor diet, unhealthy lifestyle habits up until when the pandemic hit the world in 2019 when I was 28. I was one of the first few people in the hospital I was working with here in Japan diagnosed to have covid-19, I was quarantined for 26 days, no alcohol, no smoking, healthy foods being served. During the first few months of the pandemic, everybody was just so afraid that is why I felt like I was in a jail inside the quarantine facility. When I was discharged from the hospital that is the time I realized a lot of things including the abuses I did to my body for the past 10 years of my life. At present, I have lived my life in a very healthy way over the past 2 years, I lose a lot of weight, I enrolled to the gym, I chose a healthy balanced diet, became so physically fit & active & now I became a fitness enthusiast to people who also wants to achieve their fitness goals in life. At this point in my life @30, I am still searching for the reasons of my existence, my purpose in life, some of them perhaps I knew it already but most of them I know that God has prepared & redirected me to the right path. Maybe, I have to go through those tough times in order to be a stronger & braver adult.

as a psychology student, nakakalungkot isipin na isa si Ms. Maxene sa living proof na hindi tlga nabibigyan ng awareness and pansin dito sa Pinas ang mental health. super sad. 🥺💔 praying for ur healing ate.

Maxene should have a podcast

Nakakamiss panooring on tv si maxene.

Grabe yung connection nilang dalawa no? Imagine, nagsama yung dalawang intelligent and powerful na babae ♥️

Ms. Toni, thank you for having Ms. Maxene on "Toni Talks." I learned a lot from her; I'm not sure why my tears kept falling as I listened to Ms. Maxene Magalona talk about how God spoke to her while she was meditating; I'm not sure if it was energy or realization that I haven't found my purpose here on earth. I also agree with her when she says that the more we listen to our ego, the more negative energy we attract. All we want is indeed assurance that everything is under control. Every time I pray, I tell God that I want to surrender everything to Him, but I don't even know what that means because I always listen to my ego. Now I want to concentrate on self-improvement and striving to be a truly good person. I am truly grateful that these two strong and intelligent women discuss the importance of mental health.

Ang galing ni Maxene.. Sana nag beauty queen sya..

When you Know you're dealing all these kinds of trauma, anxiety and depression but you can't take medications because healing and medications takes time, energy and money. This is really a privileged and not an option.

"Being kind to the unkind. They are the ones who needs kindness the most."

"We are not broken to begin with. Healing means going back to who we really are" Salamat this is sooooooooooooo beautiful:)

Every single words that Ms.Maxene says was so impressive and knowledgeable ❤ Thank you for this episode ❤

The trauma I got for not believing in marriage and happy ending starts when my father and mother separated many years ago. It got me trust issues, that makes me a toxic person when I'm in a relationship. But it also bring me closer to God, and learning to trust Him again that everything comes from a reason 🥰💖

Personally, this is the most relatable episode so far. Been thinking of consulting a specialist because of my unexplainable anxieties. I'm still in denial but I am considering it now.

This is not supposedly emotional, but Maxene’s energy gives so much feels, im crying but im happy.

After watching Maxene, I stop what im doing, I prayed and just want to listen to her everyday! Your kind and inspirational words are really music to my ears and made me breathe and remove my worries today. Thank you Maxene and Toni! Have a blessed Sunday! 💕

Ilove her watching her 5&up days forgot but watch Maxene always as i just love her and her dad's mucic......❤️❤️❤️

Toni should come up with another show where she sits with a psychologist or a therapist ( as guest) and ask them questions ( questions from people who are currently undergoing mental health problems like in the movie "All you need is Pag- ibing" where that TV host gets question from audience and addresses it to the viewers and shares her thought- answers) I think this will be a great help because there are so many people who are silently undergoing mental health issues , afraid that the family wouldn't understand their condition and many are in their dark phase. This will be a good initiative to bring the issue on the table and convey that mental health problems can be cured and that they are not alone in this. Toni is a great host. She doesn't just interviews the guest, she let's them speak from their heart and I think that's very important and only few host can do that ( that's a talent from God). This is the 6th talk show I've watched( btw I'm a new subscriber, Ik what was I doing before ,literally this talk show is Outstanding! ) and I really hope we get English subtitles for the previous talk shows as well. 😇😇😇

“Being kind to the unkind. They’re the ones who needs kindness the most.”

the way maxene says "exactly" Toni really knows what's her point ❤️ so deep conversation.

Mahusay na actress....so adorable...

I also have PTSD and my partner left me and my son because of it. I'm still in my healing process, hoping to get being fully healed. This content is truly inspiring, thanks maxine and toni.

I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my RU-vid channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. ❤️

Thank you Maxene ❤ Isa ako sa mga natulungan mo thru your words of wisdom. Having anxiety and mental health disorder is so difficult 😭

I love Maxene's enthusiasm in sharing her realizations and advocacy about mental health ❤️ It's very inspiring to see other people heal ❤️

Let's appreciate how blessed she is with her husband who never gave up on her during her darkest days. God bless you, Maxene! God is always with you.

Kudos with her husband talaga. He has been a tool used by Him to guide his wife.

I need a podcast from Maxene

Hearing Max's healing journey through complex PTSD brought me to tears. She exudes kindness and positivity in this interview. Such a beautiful soul 🤍

Kapag talaga Toni talks, grabe yung impact sakin lalo pag mga ganitong interview🥺❤️ We're happy for you, Maxene❤️

Her husband became a part of her therapy but now they are separated.. so sad for them..i truly love her story about mental awareness..

Ang galing magshare ni Maxene M. Every episode of Toni Talks is very inspiring and educational.

"My breathe is such a beautiful gift" I believe in this too. ❤️

I can say that this is my favorite episode of Toni Talks yet. Maxene speaks so smartly and I learned a lot from her words and experience.

Gusto ko ng kaibigan tulad ni Maxene 😭. Thank you Toni for this vlog. This is a breath of fresh air 😭💕

"Healing is actually remembering who you really are."

Maxene was a great actress. A great singer.

Sya ung artista na galing magsalita at ganda ng boses pati tapos very clear pg nag English

I'm a psychology student, and I'm just so happy knowing that issues like these were little by little creating a better place in our country 💛🔱

Sobrang relate na relate ako dun sa part na "We wanted to take everything in control" where infact di naman talaga kaya. Thank you sa napaka inspiring na episode nato. Sobrang nakakarelate ako 😘

Love you maxene 🥺😘😍❤️

"Healing is actually remembering Who You really Are." - Maxene

It is like reading a full book in just 23 minutes and you learned so many lessons. The best lesson" We must be thankful for every breath we take because it is life and it is beautiful.' 'Toni talk' is one of my most worthwhile weekly habit. It really feeds your mind.

Ang galing nmn ni miss magalona..ang ganda ng shinare nya sa sa mga pangyayari sa buhay nya..at kung panu xa nakarecover...Godbless you alwys maxene..and to you toni my idol..🥰

Our pure Doctor only God maxine salute you surender Him early with out vices.🙏

I really love the content of Mrs. Gonzaga-Soriano. Napaka daming tao ang kailangan makapanuod ng episode especially those people who are in their silent battles. Thank you also to Maxene Magalona for sharing your journey. More power, energy and love for everyone. ❤️

ang sarap pakingan ni maxene araw2 habang nag kkwento..

This hits home. Kaya I'm thriving to be the best mom because based on my experience, childhood traumas are destructive in adult life and to the people around them.

If it's about mental health, people would really gather. Just shows how many of us are struggling nowadays... And how we really need this type of platform to nourish ourselves

Sometimes, we just need someone to listen to our pain. Someone who will show sympathy and compassion. We need a world full of kindness and gratitude.

"You are not changing, you are just becoming the person whom you are meant to be" 🥰🥰❤️❤️

Grabe ang sarap panuorin. Maxene is full of gratitude indeed.
