In this episode, we want to share with you all stories about grief. To a lot of people, Yale-NUS was home and the news of the merger shook the community. One week after the announcement, the pod wanted to do a pulse check. Maleeka and Mpiwa interviewed community members to hear more about how they reacted and coped. 

Today in the pod, we are joined by two fitness-loving folks on campus. Miku is the co-founder of The Daily Movement, and Dexter is a sprinter for the Singapore National Team. Tune into this conversation as our hosts, Maleeka and Mpiwa, learn about what pursuing sports and fitness as a career looks like, how they balance that with college life and the things that keep them motivated (including having many rest days!). 

Professor Tan Tai Yong joins us for a conversation in the pod today! Tune in to listen to our hosts Maleeka and Mpiwa discover the human being behind the title of 'President of Yale-NUS'. What did student life look like for Prof Tan? How does he manage stress in a high pressure environment? Why batik shirts? What does he do for self-care? (hint: it rhymes with porean prama!)

In this week's episode, Maleeka and Mpiwa discuss the topic of residential living with our guest, Tanya Sharma. Tanya shares openly and vulnerably about how she has managed suite conflicts over the last 4 semesters and gives advice on how to foster healthy living arrangements. The three also reminisce about what it was like moving in with complete strangers for the first time!

Join Mpiwa, Maleeka and our ~*mYsTeRy gUeSt*~ in the pod today as they converse about life lessons learnt from Winter Break, their favourite pick-me-up activities and what goals they are setting for the year ahead. Uncover the contents of their Semester 2 Self-care Starter Pack, and learn how you can build your very own!

Our hosts Maleeka and Mpiwa interview RLO Olivia Dure to find out about how she is making Yale-NUS her home away from home during this Winter break! Learn about where Olivia inherited her creative spirit from, how she has been coping during this pandemic, and what advice she has on finding what feels right for yourself amidst external pressures.

We live in a world where social media and content creation is a norm. Join our hosts Maleeka and Mpiwa as they speak with vlogger William Lee to find out about how digital journalling is a form of self-care for him and how videography is helping him to process the pandemic.
