In a culture that glorifies constant giving, silent suffering, and tireless service to others, a new movement is inviting Filipinos to pause—just for a moment—and ask:
“What about me?”
Ako Naman Muna is a growing wellness and self-leadership movement that empowers individuals—especially those who are burned out, dependable, and self-sacrificing—to choose themselves first. Because in truth, putting yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.
This July 6, 2025 | Baguio Convention Center
The movement arrives in Baguio City for a full-day experience designed to bring soul care, reflection, and emotional reset to people who have forgotten what it feels like to breathe freely.
Leading the event is Coach Russ Juson, one of the Philippines’ most sought-after transformational coaches and the founder of I AM+ Coaching and Training Systems. Known for his powerful presence and intuitive ability to connect with audiences, Coach Russ has helped thousands of individuals across the country reconnect with their purpose, inner peace, and personal truth.
His sessions are not your typical motivational talks—they are immersive, deeply reflective, and built for transformation that lasts well beyond the day.
Why Baguio?
The decision to hold Ako Naman Muna in Baguio is no accident. More than being the summer capital, Baguio has long been known as a place of healing, creativity, and introspection. Baguio’s cool climate and reflective energy makes it the perfect backdrop for a movement that asks people to go inward, reset, and reclaim their center.
What Is “Ako Naman Muna” All About?
This is not just another seminar. It’s not about hype. It’s not even about escape.
It’s about soul restoration.
It’s for the:
- Teachers who never stop giving
- Parents who haven’t had a break in years
- Leaders who feel exhausted but must stay strong
- Employees silently battling stress and anxiety
- Helpers, caregivers, volunteers, and quiet servers
who are rarely asked how they are doing.
Through guided activities, soul conversations, storytelling, quiet challenges, and moments of grounding, participants will be invited to:
- Reflect on what’s weighing them down
- Reconnect with their inner voice
- Let go of guilt
- Remember their worth
“It’s not about ego. It’s about coming home to yourself,” Coach Russ reminds.
“Because the more whole you are, the more you can give from a place of joy—not just duty.”
Why Choosing Yourself Matters
Modern life pushes us to keep going, to perform, to serve—and often, to ignore the signs of inner fatigue.
Ako Naman Muna reframes this:
Choosing yourself doesn’t mean abandoning others.
It means including yourself in the love and care you so freely give.
When people are burned out, they disconnect—from others, from their joy, and from themselves. This movement invites people to break that cycle.
