Hi everyone and welcome back! I know it's been a while, but I'm so excited to bring you this episode with the wonderful Jacquie Pershing-- Valencia's amazing social worker and wellness coordinator-- for Mental Health Awareness Month in May! Straight from the school's wellness room, Jacquie and I chat about the complicated emotions that often come with big changes in our lives. Whether that be excitement, fear, grief, or a messy mix of them all, we're covering it all! 

Note: With high school graduation and college quickly approaching, I am taking an indefinite break from the podcast, but this isn't the end of Mind Matters with Mia! I'm hoping to continue this in some form during college, but I will be forever grateful for these past few years creating this podcast <3
