Join Jodie and Pam, the President and Vice President of Cardiff University Ladies Football (CULF) in their first ever podcast episode where they're discussing all things wellbeing as part of the Cardiff University Students’ Union Wellbeing Calendar. Alongside their weekly workouts, the ladies at CULF have also taken on a podcast addressing mental health wellbeing. In this episode, Jodie and Pam will be talking to 7 members of the CULF club who will remain anonymous, and they’ll be answering some quick-fire questions on mental wellbeing and coping mechanisms.
This episode will cover the following seven topics:
· Stress
· Nervousness and feeling overwhelmed
· Happiness and what it means to you
· Negative University Experiences (This topic addresses partying and drinking as a part of University)
· What type of person do you think you are?
· Responsibilities and the affect bigger responsibilities have on mental wellbeing
· University and its effect on mental wellbeing
Each speaker will share their coping mechanisms on their given topic and one particular tip that helps them cope with this feeling. Each speaker will also discuss the affects that lockdown has had on them and how their University experience has affected their mental health.
We hope you can take something away from this podcast episode, recognise that you’re not alone and please remember that every individual is different and copes in a different way.
