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. 🎧
