AMI podcast

About AMI podcast

who is AMI: "Ami" is a shorter version of my name. It was made up by my parents, and originates from "Амелія". The time I made my first social media (aged 11) my name began with a lowercase, in honour of my younger self, who most likely didn't know that all names must start with a capital. Later, scolded by my mother, I should not disrespect myself, how I must edit my name to an uppercase as it shows dignity. Aged 17, I changed my social media name to "ami", again, in honour of my younger self: all the things you dreamed of us becoming and the things we have already become.

   back to school check!

   Back to schooool cheeckk! This episode is above all a space for me to get my shit together about my current (non-linear) transition from school to university. Filled with journaling prompts, resource sharing and more, I walk myself through the expectations I have for MYSELF this semester. You could use these 55 minutes as a guide or an example how to plan your school year, what mindsets to consider, what questions to ask yourself. Welcome or welcome back! Journaling prompts by itsbforreal on Instagram When everything gets chaotic what is my bare-minimum routine to survive burnout? What is one exhausting habit from last year that l genuinely cannot afford to repeat this semester? What is the single best thing I did for myself last academic year that I refuse to drop now? What is MY definition of a successful student and what can I do this year to become her/him/them? Substack: "Oh, to be a dangerous woman", by YETUNDE OMOBOLANLE Journaling prompts from therapy (mental health prevention plan addition): What works for me/what things have I done in the last few months that were good for me: My main mental health goal(s) for the coming year are: To achieve my goal(s), I do the following regularly: What can someone else do for me to help/empower me? Other things to put here that might help me in the (near) future. Is there anything else you would like to say to yourself here about the steps you have taken in recent months? If you want, you can also write a small letter to support yourself in a harder moment in the future. Adapted journaling prompts from therapy (burnout addition): Signs of burnout How to deal with burnout, what has helped in the past? To not burn out, I do the following regularly: What can someone else do for me to help/empower me? Other things to put here that might help me in the (near) future. How to take care of me. Manual for yourself. What would be in it? (If I’m burnt out, my ideal partner will:)

   school is a privilege why?

   WARNING: This episode is the collection of thoughts I came up with by myself over the process of constant reflection and a series of experiences. This is the reality I find comforting to live by and might not necessarily align with how YOU want to or view it already. In no way am I suggesting that school isn't a privilege; this discussion deals with what I actually mean when I say this, because until recently, I wasn't even questioning this statement. Now that I do it, it helps me to identify the extent to which school is an amazing thing full of opportunity and ultimately PRIVILEGE (although still containing its flaws) that helps me to expand as a holistic person, not only as a student. Take everything I say with a grain of salt and enjoy my debate with myself on what my yapp actually means.

   pretending to be film bachelor

   Went to a university open day on Valentine’s Day (check out my Instagram for a recap of the solo date). As usual, the event couldn’t have gone uneventful, hence a deep reflection on my academics and future university choices. If you don’t know what bachelor's degree to choose for uni, this one is especially for you! A book I mentioned: “101 essays that will change the way you think” by Brianna Wiest

   i traveled in time to change my high school experience

   references in the episode: Gizmo app - ai flashcards Noteful - note-taking app You can probably hear the excitement in my voice while listening, which pretty much sums up how I’m feeling about podcasting recently. This episode sometimes goes beyond school and into the depths of my personal viewpoints on education and the kind of opportunity it presents, and partially traps one in. Overall: MUN hotels feeling like Madeline Argy study/school advice Enjoy me nerd in the 6th yapp session of the year!

   Basically, tearing apart between nurturing my sexuality and noticing self-sexualisation patterns. A discussion rooted in self psycho analysis, re-shaping old beliefs, considering new possible pathways, and most importantly, getting vulnerable.
