As May 10 comes around, Iza Calzado is set to celebrate three years of the “beautiful, chaotic mess” that is motherhood. “Chaotic na nga, mess pa?” she laughs. “It is, ’di ba? It’s a beautiful chaos of sorts.”
As Smart Parenting sits down with Iza, we see a woman in her absolute prime. At 43, the award-winning actress, women's empowerment and mental health advocate, and podcast host has always been busy. Add her most important titles to date—wife to tech founder and CEO Ben Wintle and mom to three-year-old Deia Amihan—into the mix, and Iza’s life has been a different kind of busy these days.
