Above Average with Angel
Hi there, my name's Angel and welcome to my podcast! I am a twenty something born and raised in the Philippines. I moved to the United States when I was nine and I have been here, sadly assimilating, ever since. The goal for this podcast is to have complete and shameless transparency about how I do not know what's going on, but I am very much ready to elevate and learn. I will be inviting very special voices in this podcast to share their thoughts, comments, & concerns about adulting and life as we know it. This podcast is the epitome of "oversharing but make it caring."I hope to live a life where I get to experience different versions of me. Each one better than the other. Each one excited to grow, be corrected, and learn! I am in no means an over achiever, but I do wish to be above average. *cringeee that was cheesy* ANYWAY, WE OUT HERE FOLKS!
