    *Bonus feature: guided meditation* This meditation is designed to be practiced while walking, turning each step into an anchor for presence and grounding. As you connect with your senses and the rhythm of your body, you’ll discover that progress doesn’t need to be fast or grand — even the smallest steps move us forward. This practice is about arriving in the here and now, one breath and one step at a time.

    MEDITATION - Letting Go of Perfection

    *Bonus feature: guided meditation*  In this meditation, we take a closer look at the inner critic — that voice that insists we need to get everything just right.

Together, we’ll reframe habits not as chores or obligations, but as acts of kindness toward yourself. This practice is an invitation to grow with patience, compassion, and intention.

    No One Knows

    In this episode, we explore the hidden challenges of studying with a disability — especially when that disability isn’t immediately visible. From ADHD and autism to chronic illness and mental health struggles, invisible disabilities can lead to feelings of shame, isolation, and misunderstanding. Together with student counsellor Joelle Schut, we dive into the personal and emotional experiences of navigating student life with a disability. You’ll also hear soundbites from students who open up about their own journeys, offering insight and encouragement. We discuss how to recognize invisible barriers, what real inclusion looks like, and how fellow students can be more mindful and supportive. You're not alone — and this episode is here to remind you of that.

    Let's Get it On

    In this episode, we delve into the intimate world of student sexuality. What do students consider “normal” when it comes to sex, and what makes for “good” sex? Joined by cultural sociologist Dr. Samira van Bohemen, we tackle important topics like the orgasm gap, common misconceptions about sex, and the role of pornography in shaping sexual norms and mental health. This episode challenges taboos and highlights the importance of communication, consent, and respect in sexual satisfaction. Let’s break the stigma, normalize the conversation, and get comfortable talking about it. Tune in for an open, honest, and unfiltered discussion.
