When Love Fades: Breakups, Self-Discovery & Healing | Albert Salmeron'☆

Melanie is joined by special guest Albert Salmeron—Cal State Fullerton alum, accountant, creative, and aspiring entrepreneur—for a fun and deep conversation about relationships, breakups, creativity, and embracing life’s lessons.


At the time of recording, Albert was working as an accountant and planning to launch future business ventures. He shares how he balances a structured career with creative hobbies like drawing, watching horror films, and reflecting on past experiences that shaped his view on love and self-growth.


Albert and Melanie met in a college marketing class, and in this episode, they revisit everything from dating in the 90s (dial-up phone lines!) and modern dating app culture, to learning when it’s time to walk away from a relationship—and how to actually grow from it.

They unpack why knowing why you’re in a relationship matters, how love can be chemical and logical at once, and why sometimes… being selfish is necessary for your own healing.


Whether you're going through a breakup, navigating love in your 20s/30s, or just want a good laugh with real talk—this episode is for you. 🎧

Self-Growth & Signs I can’t Ignore Lately | Solo Chat

Melanie is back with a solo episode, diving into signs, self-awareness, and the power of slowing down.

She’s been seeing angel numbers everywhere—especially on license plates. While she doesn’t take them too seriously, she enjoys reading into their meanings for fun and reflection. In this episode, she shares the top five angel numbers that keep showing up, what they represent, and how they’ve connected to her own growth journey.

Melanie also opens up about what it’s been like to speak less, listen more, and take intentional pauses—something that’s helped her understand herself in deeper ways. She shares how she’s learned to see “no” not as rejection, but redirection from the highs and lows of the past year,

This one’s for anyone who loves a little meaning in the everyday and is learning to trust their own process, one step at a time.

In this week’s special guest episode, Melanie chats with Moritz—a multi-passionate creative balancing two seemingly different worlds: physical therapy and music production. Originally from Switzerland and now based in SoCal, Moritz dives into what it’s like pursuing a career in health while following his deep love for music, drumming, and producing tracks with a distinct European flair.

Plus—live gigs in Switzerland, finding creative flow, and his philosophy of “you gotta go to know.” This episode is a reminder that you don’t have to choose one path—you can build a life around all the things you love. 🎧
