Ep. 5 - The Resilience Factor ft. Noor Rahemtulla
Coming into university, everyone has a plan. A dichotomy exists between the faith one has for the future they architect and the trust they have in the process required to realize their long-term goals. Inevitably, having too much faith in life unfolding favorably can overcrowd the reliability of accepting a resilient mindset. In reflecting back on our journey’s through four years of undergrad, many of us can quickly identify the rough waters we found ourselves in at one point in time. It’s important to champion the times when we have righted our boats and continued on course, as opposed to cursing the circumstances we fell under.
In this latest edition of Goodes Conversations, Zooni sits down with Noor Rahemtulla to continue exploring the theme of resilience. Noor and Zooni discuss their personal growth at university and the progress one can achieve through times of hardship.

Ep. 3 - Sustainable Perfectionism ft. Sophie Baremberg
This week, Zooni sits down with Sophie Baremberg as she discusses her resolution for achieving sustainable perfectionism. At the onset of her post secondary life, Sophie's intensely academic family background intuitively led her to benchmark success with her academic performance (a familiar attitude for many of us at Smith). While her drive for high academic standards has not changed, her renewed emphasis on sustainably maintaining an effective work ethic and quality of life have led her to achieve what she would now define as "success".
