For A Pessimist I’m Pretty Optimistic

Mia Rose Sarmiento

In For A Pessimist, I'm Pretty Optimistic, Mia, a writer, an artist, and a podcaster feels everything sometimes as she navigates this whirlwind of a life. Sometimes, she can be quite optimistic, and sometimes there tends to be a pessimistic cloud over her head that in most cases, refuses to leave her alone; in psychology, it's called bipolar psychosis, but to Mia, it's merely the story of her life; coping and living with it. She unfolds it all and everything in between as she does so with courage, heart, & soul. [ new episodes every Tuesday at 8:00PM PST! ]
