These 20 Somethings Melanie Rojas

We're currently living through a global pandemic. It's no secret that change is in every crevice of our lives. Our approach when it comes to change might be scary, but we have the power to make the outcome of change a positive one. In today's episode, I bring about my 3-stage philosophy for embracing change - which entails: transformation, adaptation, and acceptance. 

"Listening" - The foundation of communication. But is listening as simple as sitting down and staying silent? Is there more to it? Today we dive into how the simple act of listening can change how we communicate with others. I sit down and discuss my own experiences with productive vs. counterproductive communication and how each one stems from 1 of 2 methods of listening: "Listening to Understand" vs. "Listening to Reply".

Today we define self-care and mindfulness, and discover what that might mean and look like for us. In revealing my mindfulness routine and discussing the significance of mental health, this episode dives deep into achieving a more optimistic mindset or perspective on life - amidst such chaotic and overwhelming times in our lives.

Today we talk living at home versus moving out - and just a few pros and cons of both. I share the experience I have with moving away from home for the first time for school, as well as the environment I experienced growing up living at home. Is one better?
