the for us podcast

yeah the stereotype that getting sick in college is truly horrible is true...but there are some things that i did to get myself through it that revolved around prioritizing my physical health, communicating, and giving myself grace throughout the process. stay healthy!!

finally did an epi on my new series obsession! this series feels like the fantasy books i used to read as a kid, but with more depth and lessons to take from it. give it a read!!

a few weeks ago i came across a bit of research that i wanted to share! the w curve is a model that helps explain the transition to college that many of us go through in our first year. it's a great tool in helping us to remember that struggle is normal, and that despite challenges, we're on our way up!

revisiting an old topic w/ a new perspective is one of my favorite things about having a podcast!! this week i get into why it's so important to be comfortable with yourself, the joy of solo dates, and how being alone doesn't have to mean being lonely.

now that i'm living in a dorm, it's become more important than ever to make sure that my space is a safe space for me, and being intentional about that has made my moving transition so much smoother. today, i talk about how i went about ensuring that my personal space is intentional, personal, and safe for me as i navigate change.

the (i promise this time) last book reflection of the summer! i had to end on a mitch albom book!! this week, i talk about one of the most emotionally intense books i've ever read, but also one of the most beautifully written. 10/10 recommend!

love,

nandini

to wrap up our book reflections for a while (maybe i'll throw just one more in there soon), i talk about a book of short stories that i read a few months ago by clarice lispector. although it wasn't my favorite read of the year, it was a good collection of stories that reminded me of the resilience that we learn through challenges, the beauty in the seemingly ordinary, and how abstract literature can have a lot of interpretations.

my first episode in college!! i didn't have much planned out, so this epi is basically just a ramble from my first week in d.c., and a little re-intro to the podcast and what my goals are now that things are going to look a little different!

love,

nandini

in our final book reflection epi for the summer, i wanted to talk about a memoir that really shaped the way i now view change and healing. it's a reminder to slow down and allow yourself to feel. fully, humanely, imperfectly. this was one of my favorite reads of the summer. check it out!

today i literally sat down with no script to talk about my journey with confidence....so this is my warning that this episode is a little bit ranty. i get into my current struggles, the way i'm leaning into curiosity, and how trust isn't reliant on externals.

love,

nandini
