  • 1. A Dedication to Mechis
    Welcome to the Pretty Mental Health Club with your co-hosts Valentina & Paula Sinisterra. We are two sisters on a journey to normalize and de-medicalize the human experience. This is a community where everyone is safe, heard, and most importantly, loved. We made this podcast with all the love in our hearts. For every last one of you. In our first episode, we dive into two very personal experiences that shaped us and ultimately, this podcast. We get very (VERY) vulnerable with you all.  Tune in every Monday at 8am EST/5am PST for a brand new episode & follow us on Instagram at @PrettyMentalOfficial for behind the scenes!  Until next time, be kind to yourselves.  - Vale & Paula

About Pretty Mental

From the publisher's feed

Pretty Mental is about accepting our full selves and inspiring others to do the same by being daringly unfiltered. This means completely normalizing all things mental health and the wild journey that has brought us here. We are challenging the stigmatization of normal human suffering. We are done pretending and subscribing to the notion that it’s taboo to have challenging mental health experiences.
