    EP 82: Teen Mental Health, Social Media & Feeling Alone with Jada Lauren

    Send us Fan Mail What if the person best equipped to explain what today's teenagers are going through is a teenager herself? Mélissa sits down with Jada Lauren, a 17-year-old author who wrote her debut novel, Dear Tomorrow, as a diary-style story blending her own experiences with fiction, to talk about what pushed her to start writing and why she believes it took someone her own age to put real words to what teenagers are actually feeling. They discuss the double-edged nature of social media, from the comparison and mental health struggles it can fuel to the small businesses and creative communities it can support, along with the friendships that fade in high school, the pressure of overbooked schedules, and the emotions Jada poured into her characters. Mélissa also shares her own experience raising kids through loss and using emotion cards to help them name what they were feeling. If you are a teenager who has ever felt unseen, or a parent trying to understand what your teen isn't saying out loud, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share it with a teen or parent who needs to hear it, and leave a review with the one feeling you wish you'd had better words for growing up. ABOUT JADA LAUREN Jada Lauren is a 17-year-old author and the writer of Dear Tomorrow, a diary-style novel that follows a teenage girl navigating social media, friendship, and mental health. Written between the ages of 15 and 16, the book blends real moments from Jada's own life with fiction inspired by the experiences of the people around her. Jada comes from a family of writers, including her mother, grandmother, and aunt, and discovered her own love of writing after realizing she preferred writing on her own terms over reading for school assignments. She is currently working on her second book and hopes to keep giving young readers the language to describe what they're feeling.

    EP 81: Is Your Tap Water Making You Sick The Truth About Hydrogen Water with Paula Silveira

    Send us Fan Mail Ready to try HYDRO+ for yourself? Use code MELISSAHYDRO+ for 5% off at tuhwater.com/?utm_campaign=melissa&utm_source=shareable_link Is your tap water quietly working against your health?  Melissa sits down with Paula Silveira, CEO of MAW Wellness, to talk about what most people never think to question about the water they drink, cook with, and bathe in every day. They discuss chlorine levels that are sometimes higher in tap water than pool water, the well water story that destroyed Paula's family's clothes before they knew what was causing it, and the slow ripple effect environmental toxins can have on hormones, energy, and stress markers over the years. Paula also shares her own experience with early perimenopause symptoms that resolved once she changed her water, food, and home environment, and explains what separates her hydrogen water system from other brands on the market. For both of them, it comes back to the same idea: making your home safer starts with the quality of your water. It's why Paula has become such an advocate for hydrogen water, and why Mélissa made it part of her own routine too. If you want to take a closer look at the water you've been trusting without question, this conversation is for you. Subscribe, share it with someone who has never questioned their tap water, and leave a review with the one thing in your home you're going to test next.
