the cafe vi podcast

Let’s catch up for March! I hope you have wonderful day and remember to drink enough water for the day! :-)

being a young person in the early 21st century is hard. so is going through it feeling like you’re the only one! this podcast is going to be about stories—about the challenges and joys of living in this age and how we can break traditional conventions of normalcy (like using all lowercase no 🧢) and build a cozy little internet neighborhood here while we’re at it. here at cafe vi we will talk about college life, sustainability, mindfulness and very human experiences and try to thrive and survive with the help of each other. this amazing song playing throughout the intro is “lift off” by graphene (downloaded through hello thematic).
