Episode 18: Tiny Wins, Big Impact with Samantha Buente
<p>Big goals are cute. Tiny steps are powerful. This week, we’re joined by Samantha Buente to talk about why “something is better than nothing” isn’t lowering the bar, it’s how real progress actually happens. We unpack negative self-talk, the freeze response, and the myth that you need motivation (or a perfect plan) to get started. No productivity pressure, just practical ways to quiet your inner critic and build momentum, one small win at a time. </p><p><strong>Takeaway:</strong> Progress doesn’t have to be dramatic to be meaningful. One imperfect step is enough to shift your mood, your mindset, and your momentum. </p><p><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.mysafetyplan.org">https://www.mysafetyplan.org</a></p>

We’re joined by the Dean of Student Affairs to break down what it actually means to feel connected on campus, why loneliness is more common than you think, and how small steps (not personality makeovers) can help you build belonging over time. No pressure, no forced friendships just honest conversation about finding your place. </p><p> </p><p>Takeaway: </p><p>You don’t have to be everywhere or know everyone to belong.
