Study Break

Today I interviewed teen activist, Selin Ozunaldim, about her journey working with UN Women, Girls Rising, and being a huge impact for the Girls Who Code organization. We dive deep into how education is crucial for future societal developments, as well as how education can connects with privilege. (Yes, we do spill the tea on the influencers that "don't care" about education). After this episode, I promise you will feel so enlightened and motivated to finish your homework and start creating change in the world! Follow Study Break's Instagram: @thestudybreakpodcast

In this episode, I interviewed Swetha, the founder of Melodies for Math, about the mission behind her organization, how she creates music based on math formulas (yes you heard that right-- math formulas-- it is truly a talent), and what it is like working alongside close friends for this project. Towards the end of the episode, Hyewon, Swetha's friend and co-worker, joins our conversation, where I interview both guests about their experiences working with each other. Spoiler alert: it was a very sweet bonding moment! Follow Study Break's Instagram: @thestudybreakpodcast 

I had the wonderful opportunity to interview Shai Eisenman, the CEO of Bubble, for today's episode! We talked about what Bubble is and the behind the scenes of Bubble, such as the process behind the product creation, as well as the content creation with influencers like Mackenzie Ziegler, Noah Beck, Lil Huddy, Madison Bailey, Hyram, and Laurie Hernandez. Towards the end of the episode, we dive deeper into topics about insecurities and how to be more accepting of yourself. Follow Study Break's Instagram: @thestudybreakpodcast 

This episode, I get DEEP about all of the dark thoughts I have during quarantine. I discuss my struggle with imposter syndrome, anxiety, depression, loneliness, feeling lost, and losing my identity. I really hope that through my stories, I can help show that there is light even in the darkest places. Sending lots of love and support as always!

Welcome to the first episode of season 2! I am so excited to start this season off with a very important conversation that dives deep into mental health. In this episode, I chat with Anastasia, who runs the This is My Brave Teens Instagram Account (@thisismybraveteens), about how social media can affect one's mental wellbeing. We share our struggles of comparing our progress with other's-- especially considering the fact that we are both teen digital creators, we discuss how the numbers on social media can mess with your head.  Additionally, we explore the difficulties of being Gen Z, having the expectation/pressure to academically excel, participate in many extracurriculars, AND create social change as a teen. We end this episode by reviewing how to recognize self worth in order to succeed in the future. Follow me on Instagram: @thestudybreakpodcast

Join Melody and her friend, Patricia, in an episode where Patricia shares her experience taking online school from midnight to 7:00 in the morning! She explains how going to school in a foreign country at night actually made her more productive and taught her how to time manage.  In the beginning of the episode, Melody and Patricia talk about their toxic and competitive middle school personalities. Later on they share their thoughts on returning to school for sports. Patricia also announces that she plans on making a YouTube channel that consists of basketball drills-- without clickbait titles and possibly trying not to insult anyone...
