  • You Need Therapy

    You Need Therapy
    Feb 18 2022
    This episode is different than any other episode I’ve recorded thus far. I speak with Beth Segaloff who is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR Therapist, Reiki Master, Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), and Breathwork Facilitator. She has created a program called “Life School 101” where she helps teens and young adults learn how to respond to all of life’s experiences. Beth really believes in a whole health approach that integrates the mind, body, and one’s emotions. This was one of the most eye-opening conversations I have had on my show. It is a reminder that everyone hits speed bumps in their life and that you aren’t alone. I really hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed recording it. If you would like to sign up for Beth’s program and look into it here is the link! https://www.bethsegaloff.com/life-school-101-for-teens

    Boys Boys Boys ft. Four College Girls
    Jan 6 2022
    Coming in hot to 2022 with one of the most compelling episodes yet. Come be a fly on the wall of the most authentic conversation between four college girls all about BOYS. I sit down with UC Davis juniors Allison Ogulnick, Leah Rossi, and Mary Moyers where we talk about sex, one-night stands, what we are looking for from guys, the infamous term, the "ick," turn-ons and turn-offs, and the list continues. It is what every guy wants to know and what every girl is too afraid to say to their face. Something you CANNOT miss.

  • Karyl Kicenski: A Professor's Perspective

    Karyl Kicenski: A Professor's Perspective
    Oct 24 2021
    I speak with Dr. Karyl Kicenski who is my professor in my Communications and Identity course at UCLA. Kicenski earned her undergraduate and master's degrees at Cal State Northridge and her Ph.D. at George Mason University. Her degrees cover the field of Communication Studies in addition to Cultural Studies. In her research and in the classroom she aims to uncover the links between the expression of ideas and the structures of social power and privilege. Upon taking her class this quarter I have learned about the power of perception and the making of the self. I wanted to have Dr. Kicenski on my podcast to further discuss compelling things we discuss in class as well as learn about her career in teaching. I was surprised to learn about how she barely had a C average in high school and for a long time never had any aspirations to become a professor. The conversations we have are both enriching and enlightening. They highlight that not everybody's path in life is linear, and to truly trust the educational process. Dr. Kicenski gives current college students sound advice from a professor's perspective and shares her knowledge and wisdom.

    Sep 30 2021
    IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS BUT WE ARE BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER. I am kicking off this new school year with an episode with Maddie Lorber who is a sophomore at UCLA double majoring in Psychology and Political Science. Maddie was the classic, driven, a bright student in high school who locked herself in her room determined to get into a good school. Now at her dream school, she talks about attending her first party, navigating hookup culture, recalls previous boy experiences, and opens up about the difficulties of being a young adult in college. Maddie leaves EVERYTHING on the table, and I can guarantee that you will learn a lot and be entertained. *** TRIGGER WARNING: We do discuss sexual assault and inappropriate touching in this episode***

    Devin Mallory: Breaking Barriers on UCLA Spirit Squad
    Apr 3 2021
    I spoke with Devin Mallory who is a senior at UCLA majoring in dance and minoring in Food Studies. In his junior year, Devin broke barriers by being the first male to join UCLA's spirit squad. Devin talks about the stigmas of being a male dancer, his experience as the mascot Joe the Bruin, his desire to join the squad, and the challenges he faced being under the microscope. We also discuss the pervasive role diet culture plays in athlete's lives and the work he aspires to do as a nutritionist to change these norms in society.
