Enlighten U –Student Self-Care & Anxiety Tips: How to Manage Post-Grad Stress – S3 E30

Welcome to Eastern Michigan University’s award-winning mental health podcast, Enlighten U! Hosts Melissa Thrasher and Lolita Cummings welcome recent EMU graduate and social media intern Alexis "Lexi" Overland, along with licensed clinical therapist and assistant professor Dr. Aesha Mustafa, to discuss the power of student self-care.

In this episode, we dive deep into transitioning out of college, handling the immense stress and anxiety that comes with the "unknown future," and navigating feelings of excessive guilt or academic comparison. Lexi shares her "Self-Care Sunday" routines and strategies for staying present, while Dr. Aesha walks us through physical grounding techniques like bubble breathing and box breathing to instantly calm your mind and body.

If you are a student feeling overwhelmed by academics, graduation, or a looming job search, this conversation is packed with tools to help you fill your cup first.
