In Gentle Progress
This website, Fearless Femme, is a work in progress—growing, healing, and taking shape, much like a journey unfolding one gentle step at a time.
Thank you for your patience as I nurture and build this space dedicated to women’s empowerment, personal growth, and authentic connection.

Your presence here is part of the story.
October
✦ Bravery Builds Bridges:
Bodies. Battles. Builders.
This month, Fearless Femme holds space for courage and care. We honor Breast Cancer Awareness and Domestic Violence Awareness as living stories of resilience.
“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” — Joshua 1:9
Soulful Pause
Let yourself rest. Breathe. Where do you feel God’s peace today?
Today, I choose stillness. I trust that even in the quiet, I am held and whole.
I'm Rye
2x Cancer Warrior. Abuse Survivor.
Storyteller. Hope Bringer.
I’m Rye—a Filipina storyteller, two-time cancer warrior, and domestic abuse survivor who chose to thrive—not just survive. Living much of my journey alone in Spain, I’ve battled high anxiety and severe depression from abuse, trauma, lymphoma, and breast cancer.
But through it all, my faith has been my anchor—guiding me through the darkest valleys and turning pain into purpose.
I created Fearless Femme as a one-woman project and an online sanctuary for women seeking healing, hope, and support. Here, you’ll find resources, empowering stories, and a compassionate community for survivors of cancer, abuse, mental health struggles, and those facing life’s storms alone.
You are not alone. Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, trauma, cancer, or abuse, or supporting someone on this path, you belong here.
Your story matters. You are braver and stronger than you know.
Whispers from the Walk
These aren’t just stories.
They’re fragments of a life rebuilt— entry points into my healing.
Some were written in silence. Some in survival. All in truth.

Honoring my Mama and Papa
From Healing to Hope
Turning personal storms into a movement for resilience and change—one game, one voice, one life at a time.
Table tennis was my saving grace—a way back to feeling at home. With the same childhood racket in hand, the old rhythm returned to my body—trained by my mother at ten, with my father beside me at my first competition.
After years away, Munich 2022 became a small return during a hard mental‑health season.
Now, launching PingPong for Peace—a starting campaign to seed permanent concrete tables as sanctuaries for play, conversation, and belonging.
These tables will invite young people and survivors to safely talk, connect, share meals, and open up about life, healing, and hope.
Together, we’ll create spaces where everyone is seen, valued, supported—no matter their story.
Join the journey as this vision moves from story to schoolyard.
Advocacy in Action
PingPong for Peace
Watch: My first game in Munich, August 2022—still holding my childhood racket. In that brief moment, Ping-Pong was my healing.”

From Silence to Sovereignty
This is the journey of becoming—through the ache, toward wholeness.
Thriving
We begin where it hurts.
The silence, the shame, the ache.
The sunlight stage—relearning joy, finding home in the world and in oneself, rebuilding with courage.
Healing
Not linear, not perfect—
but honest, slow, and real.
The cocoon stage—where scars meet grace, where pain is spoken aloud and faith becomes the anchor
Sovereignty
We return to ourselves—
unapologetically whole.
The unshakable stage—fully rooted in self-worth, legally and emotionally free, and empowered to protect and advocate for oneself.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
This Isn’t Just a Blog. It’s a Soft Rebellion.
Truth
We speak without shame.
Compassion
We hold space with tenderness.
Courage
We rise, even shaking.
