Dancer, singer, actress, acting coach, director, caster, producer, future Emmy winner, and Alaskan king crab fisher-lady (mmmaybe not that one).

Melique Berger is here, and she brought stories. From the time her consciousness kicked on she was performing, and if I had to guess, she has been doing it the WHOLE time with the confidence of a queen and the grace of an improv professional!

Did we have fun? Heck yea! And the fun doesn't have to end with the podcast, because Melique has offered our listeners $150 off coaching with the code -M&MVJ
