In this episode, we explore the hidden challenges of studying with a disability — especially when that disability isn’t immediately visible. From ADHD and autism to chronic illness and mental health struggles, invisible disabilities can lead to feelings of shame, isolation, and misunderstanding. Together with student counsellor Joelle Schut, we dive into the personal and emotional experiences of navigating student life with a disability. You’ll also hear soundbites from students who open up about their own journeys, offering insight and encouragement. We discuss how to recognize invisible barriers, what real inclusion looks like, and how fellow students can be more mindful and supportive. You're not alone — and this episode is here to remind you of that.

In this episode, we delve into the intimate world of student sexuality. What do students consider “normal” when it comes to sex, and what makes for “good” sex?

This episode challenges taboos and highlights the importance of communication, consent, and respect in sexual satisfaction. Let’s break the stigma, normalize the conversation, and get comfortable talking about it. Tune in for an open, honest, and unfiltered discussion.
