EP 12| College Confessions

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2168197/open_sms] Hi BEAUTIFUL people, meet this episode’s three guests: J, Lily, and Jada! If you’re a loyal listener, you already know that Jada and Lily have been featured on the podcast before (they’re our very first returning guests.) In this episode, we take campaigning to a whole new level, bringing authentic character to the table as we share our college confessions. We kick off the show with lively chatter about Pokémon and anime ( I dont know anything about these subjects btw), which quickly evolves into both humorous and heartfelt reflections on our time at The University of Virginia, and on growing to love the place we’ve called home for the past three years. I hope you enjoy the episode, and for my UVA students tuning in, don’t forget to vote! With love, Atty xx Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2168197/support]

EP 11| The Faith Dilemma (Pt.1)

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2168197/open_sms] Hey, my lovely people! I’ve missed you all so much, and I hope you’ve missed hearing my voice too. Today’s episode is bringing HEAT...so much so that we had to split it into two parts. We’re diving deep into religion in college. And trust me, whatever you’re thinking, we definitely touched on it, from sex before marriage to substance abuse, temptation, faith, and everything in between. But here’s the thing: even with such a heavy topic, this episode is filled with laughter, raw honesty, and some really eye-opening conversations. My hope is that while you’ll share a laugh with us, you’ll also walk away with a deeper, more profound understanding of how each of us views religion and how those views have shifted during college. Stay tuned for Part 2 because after hearing Part 1, you wont want to miss it.  Love, Atty Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2168197/support]

EP 10| You DON'T know me

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2168197/open_sms]  AHHH, welcome back fam (I missed you all). This episode is juicyyyy as we dive into... well, pretty much anything that crossed our minds. In this one, your host (that’s me, Atty—come on, you should know this by now!) invites three guests: Pooja, Merritt, and Daniel, for a heart-to-heart about life. Yep, just life. But here’s the twist, we're chatting about those sneaky stereotypes we form before even saying “hi” to someone. With this group's unique personalities , we take on the ultimate question: Do we judge people too quickly? Spoiler alert: things get deep. We get real about mental health, family dynamics, education (don’t worry, it’s still fun), and those assumptions we’ve all been guilty of.   Oh, and we threw in some games...because why not?? By the end, we’re leaving stereotypes in the dust and realizing just how many people we miss out on when we let assumptions lead the way. So grab your headphones and hit play, and stick around because you won’t want to make the mistake of assuming you know where this convo is headed. Trust me, these are the kind of chats that just might change your outlook on life. XOXO, Atty Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2168197/support]

We’re about to get real and vulnerable as we share advice for younger college students and dive into topics like friendships, education, discrimination, colorism, elitism… basically, all the ‘-isms!’ This one’s for the conversations you only have with your closest friends...So grab a seat, tune in, and get comfortable with us.
