In episode 643 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out what Anna wishes colleges understood better about those early warning signs in students, why the “Freshman 15” phrase sticks around, how students can create cultures where checking in on one another feels normal, what wellness skills she would train every fraternity and sorority executive board on, why progress over perfection is important, how students can approach alcohol, technology, and boundaries in a way that supports—not sabotages—their mental health, advice for professionals who want to support student wellness without crossing boundaries, where her book called “Living Your Best Life in College” would fit best on a college campus, what is one small step students could take this week to move toward feeling better, and what does “thriving” in college actually mean. Enjoy!
