Hey Friends! This week Codie has one of her actual good friends with her, Mel Jones! Mel is a multi-talented producer, writer and director who came into Codie's life after Codie made a lifechanging decision. In this conversation Codie and Mel go deep about Mel being adopted, raising a child as a single mother in the film industry, and what Mel has found out about herself along the way.
