Well-being and YU Podcast

  • Dear Earth: An Invitation to Hope. In this Earth Month special, we talk about our relationship with the earth, including the misconceptions that can make students feel hopeless, the discouragement that comes when efforts seem too small and the emotional weight of caring about the planet in a world that sometimes dismisses those concerns. Listen as we broaden the conversation beyond climate, recognizing that environmental well-being also means thinking about the spaces we create, the communities we nurture and how this shapes our everyday well-being.   

     

    The Art in Our Stars. In this episode of the Well-being and YU podcast, we remind ourselves that art is not exclusively for professionals by diving into the many ways art supports our well-being. Tune in to hear our host Susu B. explore what living creatively can look like in practice, including how to embrace creativity without perfectionism or guilt.
