Hiiiiiii friends!!!! Long time no talk!!! It's your girl Mell and I am back in 2023 with more podcast episodes! If you are new here, my name is Mellanie Villagrana my pronouns are she/her, I am 23 years old, and a Latina born and raised in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles County. I went to UC Santa Barbara (Class of 22') and got my Bachelor of Science in Psychological and Brain Sciences with a minor in Applied Psychology. I am a Cancer Sun, Virgo Moon, and Sagittarius Rising ;). I have been making podcasts since 2018 and posting throughout the years in 2019, 2020, and 2021 however I did not upload all of 2022. I have changed and grown a lot and have learned so much (as well as unlearned so much) and this podcast has been in the back of my mind with every lesson I have learned and every experience I have had. I can not wait to share with you all what I have learned throughout the years, and the experiences I have had that have led to my perspective and knowledge today. This introduction has a backstory to my upbringing and why I am passionate about public speaking and mental health as well as what to expect in future episodes. This year I will be having guests join me to talk about their own experiences and also have them share their knowledge and perspectives. I hope you enjoy it!
