Ep. 8: Entrepreneurs and psychology and Bridget Mendler

On this episode of Kinda Radical we are joined with podcast creator, psychology/neuroscience major, and my friend Serenah Quiroga! 
We talk about the pressure of being a female creator in podcasting, why women are less likely to be business owners - but the numbers are rising! - and the psychology of familial relations, generational trauma, and what it's like to be a woman's brain.

Ep. 7: Nurture and guns and Lost Boys

On this months podcast we discuss the reason why 98% of mass shootings are done by men and how we can change that. In a question of nature vs nurture, how we raise boys to communicate and build relationships will lead to a less aggressive and violent future. 
In the podcast we reference the book Lost Boys: Why Our Sons Turn Violent and How We Can Save Them (1999) by James Garbarino. 

Ep. 6: Europe and sororities and SA

Welcome back to Kinda Radical! 
This episode fills you in on my busy trip to Europe before we dive deep into the Abolish Greek Life movement. I share my personal sorority experiences and the benefits of joining. We also talk about how to protect girls from sexual assault that is so common within Greek life and how if that was amended, would there need to be a movement at all?

Our second guest, Abigail Pribble, and I discuss the perfect balance - or imbalance - of masculine and feminine traits and personalities.
