Growing up through emotional challenges, instability, and painful experiences shaped not only my perspective on life, but also my understanding of human behavior, healing, and transformation. After experiencing difficult separations, violence, and the emotional weight that often follows trauma, I began to recognize a profound truth: unconsciously, people are often drawn back to what feels familiar, even when it hurts them. This realization became the beginning of my personal transformation. As a single mother, I made the conscious decision to rebuild my life with awareness, strength, elegance, and purpose. I immersed myself deeply in mental training, emotional intelligence, nervous system regulation, self-development, and the psychology behind human patterns and fulfillment. I became passionate about helping people understand the connection between inner healing and outer transformation. At the same time, art always remained a central part of my soul. Since childhood, I have had a strong emotional connection to beauty, aesthetics, colors, and visual expression. Through painting and artistic creation, I discovered how deeply colors, symbols, and imagery can influence emotions, mindset, and personal transformation. My artwork carries meaning beyond appearance — each piece is connected to mental states, energy, awareness, and emotional depth. Beauty, aesthetics, elegance, and transformation have always been more than surface-level concepts to me. They represent the ability to see things not only as they are, but as they could become — without destroying their original essence. I believe true transformation happens through acceptance, awareness, refinement, and conscious creation. Today, my work combines mental training, beauty aesthetics, emotional awareness, art, and transformation into one holistic vision: helping people reconnect with themselves, regulate their inner world, and evolve into the strongest and most authentic version of who they truly are — without losing their core identity in the process. The next generation of beauty — where neuromodulation, mental training, digital evolution, aesthetics, and lifestyle design merge into one vision. A space where confidence is cultivated mentally, visually, emotionally, and biologically, creating transformation that is not only seen, but deeply felt.

Hi, Champ! Kuya Earl here. I'm the visionary, founder, and CEO of Planet Earl. I'm just a normal guy from a small town in the Philippines that you probably never heard of. Planet Earl started taking shape when I was a sickly kid who spent regular holidays in the hospital every so often. On my deathbed when I was 8y/o, I remember being half-awake and hearing my doctor tell my mom that I might not survive my lung infection. I know doctors shouldn't be emotional, but I can vividly remember my doctor almost teary-eyed with his shaky voice - maybe because he'd been keeping me alive for years by this time. When my doctor left, my mom made a deal with God. She was pleading with God to take her life and spare mine. She said she couldn't lose another kid. For context, my eldest brother had just died in a horrible accident a few months before my critical condition. She was sobbing while saying, "Lord, ako nalang kunin mo. Wag na si Earl. Mamamatay din naman ang puso ko kung kukuhanan mo pa 'ko ng isang anak." Or at least that is what my dying brain remembered. AGAIN, I was just 8 years old when this happened. At 8, I negotiated with God and made a heavenly pact; I negotiated a win-win-win situation with God. See, I'm a good negotiator since I was a baby. LOL Win - spare my mom's life Win - spare my life and give me divine protection Win - I'll be the best doctor in the world, and I will heal people for free (universal healthcare who?!) I guess God liked the guts of a dying 8y/o Earl. He kept me alive. Both my doctor and my mom were cheering 2 years later when I finished my steroid treatment. Since surviving that NDE, I studied so hard that my parents never had to pay for my education. Thank you for all the learnings, Tagkawayan Central Elem. School (TCES) and Our Lady of Lourdes Academy (OLLA). Going to university, I have 7 full scholarship offers across 7 universities and other grants. I graduated with a degree in Cell & Molecular Biology from the University of the Philippines Los Baños at the age of 19 while keeping my R.A. 7687 Department of Science and Technology (DOST) scholarship intact despite being very active in student organizations and volunteer efforts (just check my socials lol). At 20, I became a health research project manager at the DOST-PCHRD Philippine Council for Health Research and Development. At 21, I got promoted to senior health research project manager at the DOST-PCHRD while also being a registered financial planner. At 23, I was the program manager of both Philippine Genome Center and Filipinome of the University of the Philippines Diliman DNA Analysis Laboratory (NSRI-DAL). I also co-managed Newton-Agham: Filipino-UK Joint Health Research Grant. Overall, I was able to get funding for ~₱2B worth of health research during my tenure. At 24, I bought my own house, quit my government job, and went into online dropshipping business of supplements, where I became a top product trainer and got a few national achiever awards. At 26, I married my soulmate and moved to the UK with her. I lost all my clients and my dropshipping business. At 27, I became a Vetted Consultant of ClickUp and started working part-time as a supermarket assistant (barista) at Waitrose Newbury to supplement my consulting income.   At 28, I had to juggle managing an agency in the Philippines, supporting personal clients, working as a part-time food service partner at Waitrose, and studying cross-functional C-suite leadership. At 29, I became a double C-suite business consultant - CMO/CRO and a specialist butcher after being cross-trained on all stations/areas. At 30, I graduated from Rebel Business School, got nominated in World Leaders Summit 2026 under the Visionary Entrepreneur of the year, and got accepted to the Honorary Doctorate in Business Administration Program of Kennedy University Systems under full scholarship, I quit my consulting agency and became the visionary, founder, and CEO of Planet Earl Why am I doing the most? Because I negotiated my life with my creator when I was 8y/o and I'm someone who keeps his word. When I finish life, I only have one goal. For Him to say, "Well done, most awesome and faithful servant. You were a very good steward of your talents and gifts. You're really my #1 negotiator; sparing you was a WIN-WIN-WIN scenario.

Melinda Thomas is an Empowerment Coach for Women and founder of Rise Within, Glow Without - a movement for women in mind, body, and soul. Her work combines empowerment coaching, Sacred Activations, Medical Intuitive Activations, and intuitive channelling. Melinda's certifications also include Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Cognitive Behavioural Coaching (CBC). She is passionate about helping women get unstuck, rewire long-held beliefs, reclaim their inner power, and rise beyond survival mode. This creates space for growth and new possibilities. Her Sacred Activations work supports subtle or profound energetic shifts - without touch, retelling, reliving, or revisiting past pain, with no processes or techniques to learn. Melinda began her coaching journey in 2011 before taking time away to raise her family. She later felt called to invest in training and upskilling before returning. She felt a strong intuitive pull to work with women seeking empowerment, healing, and clarity, as well as women who desire more from life, are ready for growth and expansion, and want to explore more of the potential within themselves. Having navigated bullying, grief, sexual assaults, chronic fatigue symptoms, medical gaslighting, endometriosis, adenomyosis, and burnout, Melinda developed deep empathy for women carrying emotional, physical, and energetic burdens while still trying to hold everything together. Her work brings together the practical, energetic, and intuitive, allowing each woman's journey to unfold in a way that is individual to her. Working online with women globally, Melinda is expanding her work through writing, speaking, and in-person group experiences. At the heart of her work is what she wants women to know: you are not broken, and your past does not have to define you. Melinda believes women are far more powerful than they perhaps realise, and reclaiming their inner power is about uncovering what already exists within. Even subtle shifts can create profound change and new possibilities - empowering women to Stand Tall, Stand Out, and Stay True.
