Hello? Is this thing on?
After 3 long awaited years, we are back with Season 6 of Mismo.
A lot has changed since our last episode-- we've made a movie, travelled a lot... oh, and we also had a kid.
But there's a lot that has stayed... well, Mismo. We're still going after our dreams, and we feel like now more than ever we are dealing with the same ups and downs that not only actors go through, but parents too.
We're so excited to document this time in our lives and share it with all of you. New episodes incoming-- and don't forget you can now WATCH our episodes on YouTube! (youtube.com/@ashleyargotatorres9)
In gratitude and love,
Mick and Ashley
