Not every woman dreams of changing the world, but Paola Prudence Santiago Llorando has always felt called to try.
From her early years as a nurse and in various roles, to becoming an award-winning entrepreneur and community builder, Paola’s journey has been marked by purpose, perseverance, and people-centred leadership.
She is the powerhouse behind Paola’s Secrets, a thriving wellness and beauty brand dedicated to helping women live younger, longer, and more confidently. But for Paola, this isn’t just about beauty—it’s about transforming lives from the inside out.
With over 27 years of success as a top Executive and Distributor in Nu Skin, she has not only built a multimillion-peso sales legacy but has also mentored countless women to step into their power, build income streams, and lead with integrity. Her story of impact earned her a feature in S4: Success Secrets of the Sales Superstars by bestselling author Ardy Roberto.
A Champion for Financial Empowerment
Beyond products, Paola’s passion lies in helping others grow financially and holistically. As the Business Development Manager for PushPOS and CloudWaitress, she supports restaurant owners across Australia to reduce third-party delivery fees and increase profits.
“I save them money through the system,” she says with quiet confidence.
Some of the restaurants working with PushPOS and CloudWaitress include Asuka Japanese Restaurant, Cuban Corner Parramatta, Thaitanic Ingleburn, Cherry Beans Café, Shapla Sweets, and New Fortune Palace Penrith, to name a few.
Paola also serves as the Community Builder for Remitly in New South Wales, promoting financial literacy and offering practical solutions for Filipino migrants while nurturing cultural connections and hope.
In addition, she advocates for earning from home and via your phone, helping families, especially women, build extra income streams while improving their health and confidence. Her mentorship empowers individuals to become financially independent through wellness-based businesses they can manage flexibly and sustainably.
Rooted in Advocacy and Service
Her journey as an advocate began at the ABS-CBN Foundation, where she served as Head of External Affairs for Bantay Kalikasan and Head of Sales and Marketing for Educational TV. Under the late Gina Lopez’s mentorship, she played a key role in the Clean Air Project and La Mesa Watershed Reforestation. She also contributed to the nationwide rollout of iconic educational programs such as Sineskwela, Hirayamanawari, and Mathtinik—shows that shaped a generation of Filipino learners.
Today, Paola continues her mission as a proud Nourish the Children Ambassador, raising awareness and delivering real solutions to hunger, poverty, and malnutrition. She also leads her personal outreach initiative, “Share the Light”, which provides support for underprivileged children and families in need.
Her community initiatives include free antioxidant health scans, disease prevention workshops, and beauty pamper sessions, empowering people to take control of their health and step into their full potential.
Accolades and Achievements
Paola’s trailblazing work has earned her multiple accolades, including:
– Toastmasters Voice Express Humorous Speech Champion
– Adhika International Women’s Day Honouree
– Inspirational Mother of the Year

Yet for Paola, the most meaningful titles she holds are those of wife to Ronald Llorando and mother to five beautiful daughters: Alyssa, Patricia, Alyanna, Samantha, and Amanda—her ultimate inspiration and joy.
“Let your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” – Matthew 5:16
Paola’s story reminds us that true wealth isn’t just measured in numbers, but in the lives we lift, the purpose we pursue, and the light we share.
