Welcome to 901 On the Mind! Our first episode was experimentally recorded to see how our in-person on-locations would work. It took about 1 minute of recording to get the audio levels right, but after that - I truly believe it's a wonderful and unique listening experience.

Melanie Johnson is a comedic actress and writer living in LA! In this episode, we put our hilarious spin on true crime (including imagining both of us as serial killers), analyze the life of Lucille Ball, and so much more. Melanie is also 100% the reason this podcast exists. On 6/26/2020, she told me "But YES to a comedy podcast. Just go for it, girlfran! You are so charismatic and friendly, you don't need a super original idea, just your take on a comedy podcast would be interesting...I'd just do a try-out podcast, just for the hell of it! You don't have to release it to anyone. Just do it for you..." I released my first episode ONE MONTH later.

In this 10 minute mini episode, you'll hear three brief updates from our hosts: life check-ins, recent struggles, and upcoming goals. Happy healing Corilynn!! The new mental health series called Method to the Madness where we discuss issues that impact our mental health as they relate to our very unique and different backgrounds, perspectives, and ideologies. We hope to create a space where we can engage in critical dialogue, listen to, challenge, and learn from each other. We hope to model how different people can come together and find our comment interest. We might get a little mad at each other, but at the end of the day we are mad at how mental health is dealt with and talked about. Together, we will end the stigma!

About six years ago, Lindsay left her friends and family in the USA for a life in New Zealand to pursue postgraduate studies and a relationship with a kiwi (a person not a fruit ;) ). Thus began a saga of homesickness, heartbreak, and overwhelm, but also adventures with dolphins, hula hooping and the relief of an ADHD diagnosis at 30.

In Episode 3 of the second Mental Health Monday edition, we discuss mental health conversations within a family and/or household. We also talk about it from both a kid's and parent's perspective. This episode contains content around suicide, sexual assault, and death of family members (siblings). The new mental health series called Method to the Madness where we discuss issues that impact our mental health as they relate to our very unique and different backgrounds, perspectives, and ideologies. We hope to create a space where we can engage in critical dialogue, listen to, challenge, and learn from each other. We hope to model how different people can come together and find our comment interest. We might get a little mad at each other, but at the end of the day we are mad at how mental health is dealt with and talked about. Together, we will end the stigma!
