Ep 22: Life of a College Student: Setting Boundaries, Mental Health Tips, and Honoring Your True Self - an interview with Kyai and Angel

"True freedom is owning who you are, unfiltered, unapologetic, and fiercely confident." - Kyai

"People pleasing should not be meant for self soothing." - Angel

In this episode, Jenny puts on her previous high school English teacher hat and reconnects with her former students, Angel and Kyai, who are now navigating their senior year of college. They discuss the concept of being a people pleaser and how it’s impacted their lives as college students and as people who are neurodivergent (ADHD-focused tips included in this episode!)

Angel, who is studying psychology with a pre med concentration, shares his journey to understanding people pleasing and setting boundaries. He shares interesting facts connecting healing with brain science and how to create new habits effectively.

Kyai, a music therapy student, talks about combining her love for music and helping people, while also overcoming her own people pleasing tendencies. She shares ways that music and meditation can help foster healing within ourselves.

Their conversation delves into the challenges of breaking free from ingrained habits, the importance of self-awareness, and practical techniques for managing emotions and setting boundaries. They also talk about cultural norms and social expectations that feed the need to people please. Kyai and Angel share their unique perspective as Gen Z college students while touching on their generation’s culture of self awareness and the importance of mental health.
