  • Redefining Self-Care for Students
    Feb 3 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Danni Lei, a registered psychologist at Mount Royal University, and Atheena Chiong, MRU's Peer Health Educator Mental Health Lead, to explore the topic of self-care - they dive into how we often think of self-care as an individual thing, when it really needs to be a community effort.

    Danni and Atheena break down how cultural views of self-care often miss the mark for students, putting all the pressure on us to “fix ourselves” instead of looking at the bigger systems at play. From academic stress to societal expectations, they talk about how these systems can affect our ability to actually take care of ourselves.

  • Indigenization and Health
    Feb 26 2024

    In this insightful episode, we delve into the intricate layers of the indigenous experience, exploring core concepts that govern their ways of life and practices. Our guests Dion Simon and Delbert Major sheds light on the foundational education essential for listeners to better understand the rich tapestry of indigenous culture.


    We examine the specific challenges faced by indigenous students at MRU, exploring how the university both supports and falls short in addressing their health and mental health needs.

    The discussion extends to the impact of discrimination on academics, financial struggles, and the significance of traditional practices like smudging at MRU. What is smudging, when is it used, and what barriers exist in its practice? We draw connections between these barriers and other experiences indigenous students may encounter, including discrimination.


    A special highlight features the Blackfoot language course, adding a unique perspective to the conversation. We also tackle the crucial topic of resources for indigenous students at MRU and explore ways non-indigenous students can actively engage in learning more about and supporting indigenous culture.
