SHE TALKS T(•)(•) MUCH

Back to schooool cheeckk!

This episode is above all a space for me to get my shit together about my current (non-linear) transition from school to university. Filled with journaling prompts, resource sharing and more, I walk myself through the expectations I have for MYSELF this semester. You could use these 55 minutes as a guide or an example how to plan your school year, what mindsets to consider, what questions to ask yourself. Welcome or welcome back!

Journaling prompts by itsbforreal on Instagram

1. When everything gets chaotic what is my bare-minimum routine to survive burnout?
2. What is one exhausting habit from last year that l genuinely cannot afford to repeat this semester?
3. What is the single best thing I did for myself last academic year that I refuse to drop now?
4. What is MY definition of a successful student and what can I do this year to become her/him/them?

Substack: "Oh, to be a dangerous woman", by YETUNDE OMOBOLANLE

Journaling prompts from therapy (mental health prevention plan addition): 

1. What works for me/what things have I done in the last few months that were good for me:
2. My main mental health goal(s) for the coming year are:
3. To achieve my goal(s), I do the following regularly:
4. What can someone else do for me to help/empower me?
5. Other things to put here that might help me in the (near) future.
6. Is there anything else you would like to say to yourself here about the steps you have taken in recent months? If you want, you can also write a small letter to support yourself in a harder moment in the future.

Adapted journaling prompts from therapy (burnout addition): 

1. Signs of burnout
2. How to deal with burnout, what has helped in the past?
3. To not burn out, I do the following regularly:
4. What can someone else do for me to help/empower me?
5. Other things to put here that might help me in the (near) future.
6. How to take care of me. Manual for yourself. What would be in it? (If I’m burnt out, my ideal partner will:)

WARNING: This episode is the collection of thoughts I came up with by myself over the process of constant reflection and a series of experiences. This is the reality I find comforting to live by and might not necessarily align with how YOU want to or view it already.

In no way am I suggesting that school isn't a privilege; this discussion deals with what I actually mean when I say this, because until recently, I wasn't even questioning this statement. Now that I do it, it helps me to identify the extent to which school is an amazing thing full of opportunity and ultimately PRIVILEGE (although still containing its flaws) that helps me to expand as a holistic person, not only as a student.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt and enjoy my debate with myself on what my yapp actually means.

Went to a university open day on Valentine’s Day (check out my Instagram for a recap of the solo date). As usual, the event couldn’t have gone uneventful, hence a deep reflection on my academics and future university choices.

If you don’t know what bachelor's degree to choose for uni, this one is especially for you! 

A book I mentioned: “101 essays that will change the way you think” by Brianna Wiest

references in the episode: 

• Gizmo app - ai flashcards 
• Noteful - note-taking app

You can probably hear the excitement in my voice while listening, which pretty much sums up how I’m feeling about podcasting recently. This episode sometimes goes beyond school and into the depths of my personal viewpoints on education and the kind of opportunity it presents, and partially traps one in. Overall: 

• MUN
• hotels
• feeling like Madeline Argy 
• study/school advice 

Enjoy me nerd in the 6th yapp session of the year! 

Basically, tearing apart between nurturing my sexuality and noticing self-sexualisation patterns.

A discussion rooted in self psycho analysis, re-shaping old beliefs, considering new possible pathways, and most importantly, getting vulnerable.

New mindset & similar habits. It’s second week of 2026 podcasting streak, so it’s time to address the year itself! In my self-centered monologue, I picked up a tendency of making my point quickly and drifting off into talking about other side quests.

New year, new podcast, and she’s finally back. With a dramatic entrance, we start 2026 with one of my “past year’s” discovery in regards ways of expressing affection. I get into masculinity and femininity, and how it manifests differently depending who I’m talking to. Obviously, I wouldn’t miss a moment without mentioning psychology, this time its Identity Theory. And overall, monologuing about the comparisons between my past lover and the current excitement person.

Exam week, test week, just week? MY ADVICE ON “study+care” combo. 

—> literally how I stopped constantly burning out

This, honestly is giving tamkaur — the amount of advice and pep talk I gave in this episode.

FILLER MONTH = FILLER EPISODE 

Time to relax with a cup of iced coffee, despite the minus weather outside. 

Listen while cleaning your room, on your way to school, or begging your hot girl walk era. 

Everything most recent: from exam prep material to period talk, to inspiration and reasons to get out of bed. It’s time to rewind and realize that you, IN FACT, were too hard on yourself; scratch down a list of things you are grateful for that are NOT your phone; and move on Have a great day!

Stay healthy  👀

JANUARY — A FILLER MONTH. 

January — a day after a sleepover. 

January — a symbol for crashed hopes and abandoned goals. 

BUT NOT HERE! 

End of January — exactly the time to double up on the motivation for 2025.

In this podcast episode, AMI shares her goals for the new year, as well as mentioning controversial strategies for her studies in 2025. 

As always, from personal experiences (reflections) to hopes and inspiration for new beginnings: productivity, picking up abandoned hobbies, reviewing what had gone according to plan and what had changed drastically over the last 12 months. 

It gives: iced matcha in the snow, floor study sessions & “I’m back in the game” motivation.
