Hello!

My name is Carlos Pichardo a.k.a Los! To tell you a little about myself, I am a First Generation College Graduate from Los Angeles, Ca. I attended UCSB and graduated with my Bachelors in Communication.

For me, this podcast is about creating an engaging community of individuals that support one another and engage in positive mental health practices! I am by no means a Mental Health Professional, but throughout this process I want to share my own experiences with Mental Health as well as learn from others!

Thank you for joining our community!

A little about me, I am from Northern California, and I attended Cal State Monterey Bar. CSUMB is where I first learned about therapy and how important it is to check in on your mental health. Since then, I have had a few different. therapists, was diagnosed with depression, and have been on and off antidepressants. I share this because I think talking about mental health is very important. It is okay to have depression, anxiety, and anything really that you feel is hindering your best self. I am not a professional in any way, but I feel I can be an advocate for mental health and that is ultimately why I jumped on this project. 

My goal with this podcast I to get the conversation around mental health going. We want to build enough of a following to normalize mental health and not have it be something that anyone needs to feel ashamed, judged, or broken to experience.
