On the third episode of “Checking In”, I spoke with Fatima Dyfan. She told me about her childhood experiences with God, how she occasionally uses different types of drugs to enhance her journey, and gave advice for people who are beginning or continuing their journey. As the world opens up, there are going to be more distractions in the world. This is the time to make sure you are truly checked in with yourself and your spirituality. From this conversation, I hope listeners can relate to Dyfan on different levels who is trying to find what works for her and only her! *CW: There are discussions of drug use (marijuana and shrooms). 

This conversation aims to check in with Winnie Akrong, a beginner in her fitness journey, and others like her. Coming out of the pandemic, so many people across all races and ages have fluctuated in weight. As the world is opening up, these same people are committed to being proud of their bodies and feeling confident in their skin. For Winnie, this meant going to the gym. She spoke with me on the ups and downs of working out, minimal awareness of the fitness center on campus, and how bettering her physical affects her mental. From this conversation, I hope listeners can relate to Akrong on many different levels who is simply trying to look good for herself!

This conversation aims to check in with two college graduates on entering the next chapter in their life. For most people raised in the United States, the education system takes nearly 20 years of life, not including graduate school and doctoral programs. After college graduation, students are pushed into the workforce with more flexibility to decide what they will do with their lives. Stanford and Sylla will talk about their experiences at Georgetown, their life after, and how they maintain their wellness during the “ups and downs” of life.
